All LEGOLAND Parks in the US will be Certified Autism Centers by Spring 2023

Merlin Entertainments has announced that all three North American LEGOLAND parks will be Certified Autism Centers by Spring 2023. LEGOLAND Florida and LEGOLAND New York were granted certification in 2022.

The three LEGOLAND parks in the US will have trained team members to assist autistic guests, pre-planning resources for families, in-park sensory guides, and in-park low-sensory areas.

“LEGOLAND Resorts are designed to inspire creativity amongst children of all abilities – our rides, experiences and entertainment all foster a child’s imagination through a lens of belonging. With 1 in 44 children diagnosed with autism in the U.S.A., we want to build understanding and empathy while also ensuring our teams have the tools and support strategies when engaging with a neurodiverse population. Through this certification, we’re providing our guests with more opportunities to create and play their way, while supporting parents through every step of the vacation planning journey.” - Scott O’Neil, CEO, Merlin Entertainments

The International Board of Credentialing and Continuing Education Standards (IBCCES) grants certifications for Certified Autism Centers.
