Legoland- Denmark
The sun shone as we arrived at Legoland in Denmark. As we drove closer, the excitement built as we marvelled at the
wonderful Logo House, made of (very big) Lego bricks, and we enjoyed climbing on the wooden play structures, splashing in the water maze and having our photo taken
on the sculptures around the Lego House and town trail.
We loved having our photos taken with the Lego characters. We couldn't believe how many bricks were used to make one figure.
We started off our day in Lego World. The models were amazing! Such intricate detail we learnt, went into making the moving ships, cars, planes and lorries. Our favourite scene was watching the tiny Lego firemen rescue a cat from a tree. We watched the Lego lock gates opening and closing to move the boats on the Lego canal. It was really interactive and we had such fun pushing buttons to make the exhibits move, turn on sounds and light up all around the Lego World areas.
More rides after lunch but the more gentle ones like the train tour and the amazing
revolving tower, where we had panoramic views of the park.
At Atlantis we saw real sea life swimming with Lego sea divers and
were able to touch the sea creatures in the rock pools. We were in time to watch the real penguins being fed and we listened to the keeper tell us about how they are looked after.
More of our favourite characters meant more photo opportunities.
A day at Zootopia exceeded our expectations. First, we wandered around
and saw a huge variety of animal enclosures including elephants, monkeys and giraffes. A
real treat was seeing the gorilla family including the huge Silver-back;the male boss. We watched them play from just across the river. We drove through the
lion enclosure two times watching the pride of lions. An unforgettable experience was watching the lioness feed her cub.
The final area took us back in time to the age of the
dinosaurs. We wandered around looking at the large number of life
size models of dinosaurs and ended up trying our hand at fossil finding. Any 'treasure' we found, we were allowed to take home.
Another memorable day was spent at Legoland and as we climbed the stairs of the Lego
House, we we were enchanted by the huge number of bricks used
to make the magical tree that stood in the middle of the building; its branches and leaves towering above us. It was our turn to get creative and we spent the afternoon making creatures, flowers, butterflies and also
moving models with wheels that we could then race! We went into the Museum of
Lego and saw how it had developed over the years from wood into plastic.
We love nothing more than a friendly bit of competition and we enjoyed a nail biting game of bowling to finish off our day. There were epic strikes and lots of high scores, but best of all great sportsmanship all round.
