Fort Lauderdale, FL - January 12th, 2026 - The excitement is building at LEGOLAND Florida Resort as they prepare to launch their highly anticipated new coaster, the Galacticoaster. To celebrate, and to involve the next generation of space adventurers, LEGOLAND is holding a unique contest to find a "Junior Galaxy Explorer" to be among the very first to experience the thrill.

The contest, announced earlier this week, is specifically targeted at children aged 7-12 who call Broward, Miami-Dade, and Palm Beach counties home. It's a fantastic opportunity for young, imaginative minds to showcase their passion for space and potentially earn some incredible prizes.

What Makes a 'Junior Galaxy Explorer'?

LEGOLAND isn't just looking for any kid; they're searching for someone who embodies the spirit of exploration, curiosity, and a genuine fascination with the cosmos. According to LEGOLAND's promotional materials, a 'Junior Galaxy Explorer' is someone who dreams of stars, planets, and interstellar journeys. They're individuals who ask 'why,' who wonder 'what if,' and who approach the universe with an open mind and a thirst for knowledge.

How to Enter the Contest

Participation is simple, yet requires a bit of creativity. Aspiring 'Junior Galaxy Explorers' are asked to submit a short video - the length isn't explicitly specified, but brevity and enthusiasm are likely to be key. Within this video, children are challenged to explain why they believe they would be the ultimate 'Junior Galaxy Explorer.' This is their chance to shine, to demonstrate their passion, and to articulate their space-related dreams. Perhaps they'll discuss their favorite constellations, describe their ideal spaceship, or outline their plans for discovering new planets. The more imaginative and heartfelt the video, the better!

The Stellar Prizes

The rewards for being crowned the 'Junior Galaxy Explorer' are truly out of this world. The lucky winner will receive:

• A Family 4-Pack of LEGOLAND Tickets: Enough for the winner and three family members to enjoy a full day of LEGO-themed fun and excitement.
• An Overnight Stay at LEGOLAND Hotel: A luxurious stay at LEGOLAND Hotel, allowing the family to fully immerse themselves in the LEGO experience.
• The Coveted First Ride on the Galacticoaster: This is arguably the biggest prize - the honor of being the first child to experience the brand-new Galacticoaster, a significant milestone in LEGOLAND's expansion.

Important Dates & Details

Don't delay! Submissions for the 'Junior Galaxy Explorer' contest are being accepted now and will close on January 26th, 2026. This leaves aspiring explorers just a couple of weeks to prepare and submit their videos.

It's expected to be a significant draw for tourists and locals, further solidifying LEGOLAND Florida's position as a premier family destination.
