LEGO World 2026

A giant brick playground at the Jaarbeurs for the autumn holiday, with huge models and building zones for all ages.
Colourful toy building bricks

LEGO World turns the halls of the Jaarbeurs into a giant brick playground for the autumn half-term holiday. There are huge models to admire, building zones where children can dig into mountains of bricks, and plenty of chances to try out the latest sets.

It is a full day out for families and a happy place for adult fans of LEGO too. Weekdays are generally calmer than the weekend, and there is a sensory-friendly early morning for those who prefer a quieter visit.

  • When: Thursday 15 to Wednesday 21 October 2026, daily 10:00 to 17:00, with a sensory-friendly session from 07:30
  • Where: Jaarbeurs, Jaarbeursplein 6, Utrecht
  • Tickets: €28.50 via Ticketmaster or at the box office; children up to 2 go free
  • Getting there: direct trains run from Amsterdam Centraal to Utrecht Centraal, and the Jaarbeurs is about a 10 minute walk from the station.

Good to know: book ahead, as popular days can sell out during the school holiday.
