Now there are entire hotels devoted to their entertainment. The latest is a Legoland Hotel near Orlando, Fla. made with two million Lego bricks and is topped with a steam-breathing dragon made from Lego. Each of 152 rooms is decorated in various Lego themes (“pirate,” “kingdom,” etc.) and guests can take a “disco elevator” with flashing lights and “lava tiles,” according to _USA Today_. Lego fanatics can take lessons from a master builder on putting together complex models. This is the second Legoland Hotel; the first is in Carlsbad, Calif. \[[_USA Today_](http://www.usatoday.com/story/travel/destinations/2015/05/11/legoland-hotel-resort-theme-park/27133983/)\] ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/3859949/legoland-hotel-florida/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/3859949/legoland-hotel-florida/"},"headline":"This New Legoland Hotel Looks Like It Was Made Entirely of Lego Bricks","datePublished":"2015-05-15T11:34:05.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:19:49.975Z","description":"Complete with a disco elevator","url":"https://time.com/3859949/legoland-hotel-florida/","keywords":["Newsfeed","Travel","Hotels","Legos","Toys"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/bltfdf5104bd3142795/6987efd6524fc067afdf0b6f/legoland-florida.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Sarah Begley","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/sarah-begley/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/bltfdf5104bd3142795/6987efd6524fc067afdf0b6f/legoland-florida.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"Legoland Florida","caption":"Legoland Florida","creditText":"Legoland Florida","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/3859949/legoland-hotel-florida/","name":"This New Legoland Hotel Looks Like It Was Made Entirely of Lego Bricks"}}]}] ```
