Chicago Trip: Day 2; Part I

We decided to head to the Legoland: Discovery Center today. Marc read some reviews online that were not good reviews, but we decided to go anyway. I am so glad that we did.There are several figures for us to see as we walk in. Here is Marc with Albert Einstein.The building is divided into several different areas.It was crowded but it was amazing to see what people can build with Legos. The first area we walk into is "Miniland". They built the city of Chicago out of Legos.After Miniland, there is a Jungle Room. There are all kinds of animals from the jungle built out of Legos.After leaving the jungle room, we walk into what they call "The Hall of Fame". Here is Marc with Indiana Jones...

and with R2D2.....and with Hagrid & Harry Potter.....and Batman.....and with Darth Vader.There was a dragon ride that we went on that drove slowly through another exhibit of things built out of Legos. Samantha was fascinated!Upstairs there was a ride that, when you peddled the bike, it controlled if you went up or down.Upstairs there were a couple of "building" stations. Both Marcs built cars.......and then raced them. (Little Marc's car beat Daddy's car).There was a tour of a replica factory. Kids got to help "make" Legos.There was an area with big, foam Legos. This is the first place we could let Samantha explore.Marc enjoyed building a tower that ended up being as tall as him.
Daddy made a chair out of the foam Legos and both kids "tested" it out.As we left Legoland, a statue of President Obama made out of Legos greeted us.It really was amazing to see what can be built out of Legos. It was fun, but I am not sure we would go back.
