LEGOLAND New York Resort is celebrating their first ever Heroes Weekend, saluting First Responders.

From Friday, September 8 to Sunday, September 10 qualifying Law Enforcement, Firefighters & EMS (EMT & Paramedic) will receive FREE entry to the 150 acre park, as the resort's way of saying “thank you” for they do to keep our communities safe.

As an early celebration of these heroes, LEGOLAND New York hosted a group of local law enforcement and EMTs. They tested their skills on Fire Academy, met LEGOLAND police officer and firefighter characters, and were transformed into LEGO® Minifigures on the LEGO Factory Adventure Ride
