WINTER HAVEN, Fla. — It’s spooky enough for thrilling squeals, but mild enough to avoid nightmares.

We’re talking about Legoland Florida’s Brick-or-Treat Halloween celebration, on select dates from Sept. 16 through Oct. 29.


What You Need To Know

  • Legoland Florida Brick-or-Treat has Entertainment, character meet-and-greets, fireworks, spiderwebs and, of course, candy

  • It's open on  select dates from Sept. 16th - Oct. 29

  • Master Model Builders prepare the park for the holidays- from huge hanging ghosts to tiny trick-or-treaters in Miniland, U.S.A.

There are live shows, character meet and greets—and of course trick-or-treating.

The park is decked out with ghosts and spider webs, and some of the best holiday touches are also the smallest.

That’s thanks to master model builders like Angelisa Perazzo. She creates the spooky touches for Miniland U.S.A.

“I am obsessed with holidays,” said Perazzo.

We caught up with Perazzo when she was making tiny black cauldrons.

“These little cauldrons that I’m creating right now are going to be filled with candy so that our Minilanders can actually grab candy out of them and give them to our little trick-or-treaters,” she said.

All these tiny touches take thousands and thousands of tiny building blocks to make a reality. And the Master Model Builder’s Workshop is filled with rows of shelves, each holding bins of LEGO pieces.

“We don’t like keeping our Lego really messy,” she explained.

Before this, Perazzo managed a business.

Now she’s managing the fun times in Miniland, U.S.A. Perazzo has been a master model builder for nine years, but she started in the Education department.

“I came into Miniland, and I just fell in love,” explained Perazzo. “I just couldn’t help myself, and I’ve been here ever since.”

Perazzo calls it a dream job.

“I hope that kids will absolutely love this,” said Perazzo.
