Legoland

Nikolas and I met my friend Jennifer and her son Michael at Legoland today. When you first enter the building, they have a large display of the Chicago skyline, with all the major landmarks created in Lego blocks.

Next comes the jungle area. Nikolas was please to see his favorite animal represented.


After a ride on the dragon ride, we headed up stairs and saw a great SpongeBob display.

Nikolas' favorite part was the 4D movie, even though he didn't keep his glasses on for the full effect. There is also a mini factory where they show you how they make Legos and you get a commemorative brick.
They had several seasonal displays, like this Santa statue outside the cafe.

Of course, you have to exit though the retail store. Nikolas came with the money he got from Grandma Mary and Great-Grandma Ella for Christmas and was able to pick up the Chum Bucket (part of the SpongeBob collection) and a small Bionicle.

Amazing what they can make with Legos. Looks like a fun trip.

What a fun place to visit. It looks like you had a great time. It is a sight to see in person, I remember they had a display at FoxValley Mall years ago and it was incredible to see what they were able to construct with LEGOS! Ruby
