CARLSBAD, Calif. (FOX 5/KUSI) — Legoland California Resort is making changes to its operations this year, including cutting down on the number of employees in its entertainment department.
In a statement to FOX 5/KUSI Monday, the Carlsbad-based theme park confirmed it is laying off employees in its entertainment team.
“The decision to reduce the size of our entertainment team was undoubtedly difficult, but these changes will allow the Resort to operate more flexibly and responsively in a competitive market,” said a spokesperson for Legoland California.
The statement added, “We are supporting employees during this period of change and will do all we can to help them find alternative employment including sharing auditions for upcoming seasonal events within the Park.”
Meanwhile, Legoland Florida is also making structural changes to its workforce. Layoffs are scheduled to start on March 25 and will continue through April 7, according to a Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification (WARN) notice sent out last Friday by the Florida Department of Economic Opportunity.
Though no confirmed number has been shared, the Legoland California spokesperson said the layoffs within the entertainment department will impact less than 100 employees.

“At LEGOLAND California Resort we are making operational changes to help us elevate the guest experience in 2025 and beyond. This includes changes in how we deliver entertainment.

“We will continue to have a core in-house entertainment offering, which we will scale up to meet our brand and guest experiences during the year. This will include working with a global leader in this sector – who will be providing employment opportunities – to bolster our entertainment provision during seasonal special events. We are confident that the Resort will still offer a high-quality guest experience, as part of our ongoing focus on creativity and innovation to offer memorable visits.
