Walking through LEGOLAND is like stepping into the ultimate toybox, where your favorite minifigures are suddenly life-size—and totally ready to interact. Whether you’re a Ninjago ninja-in-training or just here to “awesome” your way through the day with Emmet, these characters make LEGOLAND a fully immersive experience for fans of all ages. But not all characters are created equal—some simply bring the energy, fun, and excitement to a whole new level. From heroic master builders and stealthy ninjas to lovable robots and even pirates, the LEGOLAND parks are bursting with characters who don’t just pose for photos—they create memories. Here’s a look at the Top 10 Most Exciting LEGO Characters at LEGOLAND Theme Parks—the ones who turn a day of bricks and rides into a full-blown LEGO adventure.
#10: Lord Vampyre
Appearing around LEGOLAND’s Halloween events, Lord Vampyre from Monster Fighters is both spooky and hilarious. With his oversized fangs, theatrical cape, and campy Dracula voice, he’s a walking Halloween special in LEGO form. He doesn’t just stand around—he creeps, poses dramatically, and even offers playful “curses” to guests for photo ops. He’s a perfect mix of spooky and silly that instantly captivates both kids and adults looking for a little LEGO mischief.
#9: Captain Brickbeard
One of LEGOLAND’s most interactive characters, Captain Brickbeard is the high-seas rogue from the Pirates sets. He’s a staple in live shows, often leading water stunt performances full of slapstick, pirate shouts, and treasure-stealing antics. When he’s not leaping from shipwrecks, he’s joking with kids about stealing their churros or challenging dads to a duel with foam swords. Captain Brickbeard always makes sure the pirate life really is for everyone.
#8: Nya (Ninjago)
As one of the standout ninja warriors in the Ninjago universe, Nya brings powerful girl energy to LEGOLAND. She’s not just posing for selfies—she’s doing martial arts demos, helping kids master balance challenges, and bringing the world of Spinjitzu to life. Her presence empowers young guests and proves that being a ninja isn’t just about kicking—it’s about courage, teamwork, and confidence. Nya’s cool factor and fierce attitude make her a LEGOLAND favorite.
#7: LEGO Policeman
From the LEGO City sets, the classic LEGO Policeman adds a dose of friendly authority and goofy charm. He might “write tickets” for suspicious behavior like “too much dancing” or “brick hoarding,” but it’s all in good fun. He’s often spotted leading kids through mini detective missions or just dropping exaggerated puns like “I’m arresting this moment!” His mustache, shades, and enthusiasm are unforgettable—and he’s a true crowd pleaser at parades and street performances.
#6: Unikitty
This half-cat, half-unicorn burst of color from The LEGO Movie is one of the most visually fun characters to meet. Unikitty brings bubbly energy, dramatic expressions, and endless positivity. Whether she’s skipping through parades, dancing in themed events, or just excitedly reacting to everything you say, she’s the embodiment of joy in a costume. Kids light up when they see her, and adults can’t help but smile too—especially when she flips from happy to hilariously intense in a second.
#5: Kai (Ninjago)
Kai brings fire—literally and figuratively. He’s one of the most action-oriented characters at LEGOLAND, frequently featured in stunt shows, martial arts demonstrations, and ninja training activities. His fiery personality, iconic red suit, and animated moves make him feel like he jumped straight out of the TV series. Kai is especially popular among Ninjago fans, who look up to him as a symbol of strength, loyalty, and—of course—super cool ninja power.
#4: Benny the Spaceman
“Spaceship!” That’s what you’ll hear over and over when Benny makes an appearance. The blue-suited, cracked-helmeted space fanatic from The LEGO Movie is a nostalgia trip for parents and pure silliness for kids. Benny’s fast-talking, arm-flailing energy is contagious. He leads space-themed dance parties, photo ops, and even helps in “launching” mini space shuttles with his signature shout. Benny’s mix of retro and chaos earns him a top spot among the most exciting characters in the park.
#3: The LEGO Friends
Whether it’s Andrea, Olivia, Emma, Stephanie, or Mia, the LEGO Friends squad brings energy, music, and color wherever they go. At LEGOLAND, they’re often involved in high-energy stage shows, meet-and-greets, and even talent showcases where kids can sing and dance alongside them. These characters are especially beloved by younger guests who see them as stylish, confident, and endlessly friendly. Their presence isn’t just about posing—it’s about performing and connecting.
#2: The Green Ninja (Lloyd)
Lloyd, the legendary Green Ninja from Ninjago, brings serious star power. Often seen at the LEGO Ninjago World section of the park, Lloyd commands attention. Whether he’s leading a Spinjitzu class or narrating a dramatic moment in a stage show, Lloyd blends heroism with charm. He’s the “chosen one” in the Ninjago universe, and kids are thrilled to meet him face-to-face. He also handles meet-and-greets like a true leader—posing like a pro, high-fiving ninja trainees, and inspiring excitement with every appearance.
#1: Emmet (The LEGO Movie)
No one captures the spirit of LEGOLAND better than Emmet, the loveable, orange-vested everyman turned Master Builder. Emmet is more than just a photo op—he’s a walking celebration of imagination, optimism, and all things AWESOME. Whether he’s hosting dance parties, cracking jokes about building the wrong ride, or enthusiastically cheering guests on, Emmet radiates fun. He reminds every visitor—from toddlers to nostalgic adults—that “everything is awesome” when you’re surrounded by bricks, rides, and pure LEGO joy.
At LEGOLAND, the bricks may be stationary—but the characters are anything but. From ninja warriors to glitter-filled unicorns and retro space explorers, these LEGO icons turn the park into an adventure playground full of personality and play. Whether you’re posing for a selfie with Emmet or mastering ninja skills with Lloyd, these characters aren’t just mascots—they’re part of the magic that makes LEGOLAND a one-of-a-kind experience.
