Did you know that Legos were invented in Denmark? And, there is a huge amusement park dedicated to the Lego? It just happens to be called LEGOLAND and is located in Billund, Denmark.
We spent a few hours there yesterday with several of Chuck's coworkers that are also non-Danes. The slideshow is under photoalbums to the right.
It's a great place for children ages 4-10. There's lots of rides geared toward little kids and a nice interactive water area, complete with high powered walk in dryers (I wish I would have snapped a pix). There are a few things for adults to do, but definitely not worth the $50 per person entrance fee...unless you're bringing kids along ($44 per kid) and even then you may have to take out a second mortgage to go!
We spent most of the day touring the miniature area. They've recreated miniature world monuments like the Statue of Liberty, Acropolis, White House, Taj Mahal, and pyramid facade in Egypt. There's also a cute section where they created miniature cities like Amsterdam, Copenhagen, and many of the Queen's residences...all with legos.
