Reports said the park is set to open in phases this summer while complying with social distancing restrictions.
“We are the first theme park to be built in the Northeast in decades and really I think particularly with the challenges in the last year, people are looking to get out,” Public Relations Manager Matt Besterman said. “They’re looking to have a safe and fun place to play.”
The New York park will be the largest LEGOLAND compared to the eight other parks around the world.
