Laowai

A big part of the reason we went to Denmark was to visit The Lego House. The girls watched a documentary about it on Netflix and we had to go. It ended up being a winner – so fun for the girls and really interesting too. 

One of my favorite parts was the big model world that included little city and mountain and castle and lots more scenes. There was so much to look at. Little stories came out as you examined what the lego people were doing.

A big part of the whole experience was to just build. There were different zones with prompts to build a frog or bins of one color legos. It was cool to look around and see all the people (kids and adults) completely engaged in building. And a really clever part were these little stations – see below. Since you are a little sad that you can’t take the thing you just built with you – they had these stands where you could scan your wrist ticket thingy and then the machine would photograph your creation and save it just for you. It worked really well and once the girls got the idea they were excited to find one of the stations to record their creations in each area.

Bright colors everywhere – delightful.

Ooooh a lego swan – my favorite!

The museum was all decked out for Halloween and this area had huge bins of orange, green, black and white legos. We were surprised at how much Denmark embraced Halloween.

The girls have requested that we come back every year. We’ll see…
