Also due to the growing number of COVID-19 cases in the Sunshine State, Legoland has decided to postpone the opening of its new Pirate Island Hotel until mid-May.

As a result of this update, our new Pirate Island Hotel will open on May 15 and new opening dates for the new water sports stunt show and PirateFest Weekends will be announced soon,” the release said.
