It’s about inclusion. After research showed that Legos are very popular with kids on the autism spectrum, Legoland Florida created a special Blue Hero Pass for visitors.

OUR TAKE: Like many other people, visitors on the spectrum and their families like head out with a solid plan. Sensory surprises—smells, tastes, noise levels— can throw off the day in unexpected ways. So can long lines that can bring on sensory overload. Why not make planning ahead as simple as possible? To help families enjoy the rides, a new Blue Hero pass helps move ‘hero’s up in line. In addition, at their autism center, LEGOLAND has sensory ratings for every attraction.
