Legoland Florida<\/a> is expanding its Halloween event with an interactive destination called Brick or Treat Street.<\/p>\n

\u201cBrick or Treat has always been about creating a Halloween experience families can enjoy together, and this year we\u2019re taking it to a whole new level with the addition of Brick or Treat Street,\u201d Bacica said.<\/p>\n

Additional Halloween activities at Legoland include group activities such as the Zombie Cheer Crew and the V.I.M. Dance Party hosted by Lord Vampyre; big Scarecrow and pumpkin group builds; a Candy Corn Scavenger Hunt; trick-or-treating across the park; and \u201cThe Great Monster Chase\u201d 4D movie.<\/p>\n
