Lego was created in Denmark in 1949. They are colourful plastic bricks accompanying an array of gears, figurines called minifigures, and various other parts. You can assemble anything.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_5378\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-5378\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><a href=\"http:\/\/solkes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/2002_09.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-5378\" src=\"http:\/\/solkes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/2002_09-300x482.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"482\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-5378\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Laura Viera A \u00a9 Solkes<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The name<strong><span style=\"color: #138a8d;\">\u00a0LEGO<\/span><\/strong>\u00a0is an abbreviation of the two Danish words <strong><span style=\"color: #138a8d;\">\u201cleg godt<\/span><\/strong>, meaning \u201cplay well\u201d. Amazing play on words, right?<\/p>\n<p>The LEGO Group was founded in 1932 by <strong><span style=\"color: #138a8d;\">Ole Kirk Kristiansen family<\/span><\/strong>. The company has passed from generation to generation and is currently owned by <strong><span style=\"color: #138a8d;\">Kjeld Kirk Kristiansen<\/span><\/strong>, a grandchild of the founder.<\/p>\n<p>I found this fact, it fascinated me: In February 2015, Lego replaced Ferrari as Brand Finance&#8217;s <strong><span style=\"color: #138a8d;\">&#8220;world&#8217;s most powerful brand\u201d.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>It began in a small carpenter\u2019s workshop and it became a modern, global enterprise.<\/p>\n<p>So, after they became a world wide phenomenon, they had the great idea of creating a theme park about the amazing brick. This resulted in <strong><span style=\"color: #138a8d;\">Legoland<\/span><\/strong>. They are a chain of family theme parks, which has its main focus on Lego.<\/p>\n<p>Anyway, there are several Legoland theme parks in Denmark, Japan, California, Florida, England, Dubai, Japan, Malaysia and Germany.<\/p>\n<p>The way things seem to be going, I guess they will expand even more.<\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"color: #138a8d;\">Legoland Deutschland<\/span><\/strong> is a theme park located in <strong><span style=\"color: #138a8d;\">G\u00fcnzburg<\/span><\/strong> (southern Germany). We rented a car for the weekend, traveled from Munich and stayed in G\u00fcnzburg.<\/p>\n<p>Legoland Deutschland was opened by Merlin Entertainments Group on May 17, 2002. It is 43.5 hectares (107 acres) and it is one of the four most popular theme parks in Germany.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h4><strong><span style=\"color: #138a8d;\">What to do<\/span><\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>When visiting the theme park, I would say that there are two possibilities: buying the tickets online or at the box office. How ever, for some reason, you always have to do the line. Let me tell you the when the season opens, the lines of people are massive.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_5371\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-5371\" style=\"width: 996px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/solkes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/2002_02.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-5371\" src=\"http:\/\/solkes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/2002_02.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"996\" height=\"601\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-5371\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Laura Viera A \u00a9 Solkes<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Another things, according to my experience, is that since Legoland offers so many things to do, I would advice to get there early.<\/p>\n<p>We are a small family but I found out that if you are a family of four or five, you will save a bundle by buying the family ticket. This provides you with a pass for your family and usually saves you around 40 Euro.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_5377\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-5377\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"http:\/\/solkes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/2002_08.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-5377\" src=\"http:\/\/solkes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/2002_08-300x482.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"482\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-5377\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Laura Viera A \u00a9 Solkes<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>So, what to do? <strong><span style=\"color: #138a8d;\">Anything is possible.<\/span><\/strong> The park features Lego explore centers, roller coasters, water attractions and shows.<\/p>\n<p>When it opened in 2002, it contained 40 attractions, 7 themed lands and was made out of 50 million Lego bricks. A decade later, the park expanded to eight <strong><span style=\"color: #138a8d;\">\u201cadventure worlds\u201d<\/span><\/strong> with 50 attractions and 55 million Lego bricks. So, really, your imagination is the limit!<\/p>\n<p>Although the attractions include a number of roller coasters, they are not as numerous or as extreme as those in other parks, and there is a greater emphasis on rides suitable for younger children.<\/p>\n<p>Legoland parks are split into various areas, which are consistent among the chain&#8217;s parks.<\/p>\n<p>For example, all six of the parks include a Lego miniland, a model village which includes models of landmarks and scenes from around the world, made from millions of genuine Lego bricks.<\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"color: #138a8d;\">Legoland Deutschland<\/span><\/strong> is home to the world&#8217;s largest Lego building, representing Munich&#8217;s Allianz Arena and weighing 1.5 tons with dimensions of 5 meters in width and 1 meter in height.<\/p>\n<p>Legoland Deutschland also contains many other world records such as the largest Lego flower bed (2007), largest amount of energy generated through cycling underwater (2010), highest Lego tower (2010), largest Lego mosaic (2011), longest Lego millipede (2002), and the largest Lego brick (2005).<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_5381\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-5381\" style=\"width: 996px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/solkes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/2002_11.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-5381\" src=\"http:\/\/solkes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/2002_11.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"996\" height=\"601\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-5381\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Laura Viera A \u00a9 Solkes<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>I love the fact that the <strong><span style=\"color: #138a8d;\">Duplo World<\/span><\/strong> was a reality. It was a small village, with duplo created spaces. Here, smaller children and their parents could relax, go at a slower pace. And an amazing find for me, was the <strong><span style=\"color: #138a8d;\">hipp station<\/span><\/strong> because it provided a perfect changing diaper place, in door chairs, you could warm a bottle, buy food, etc.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h4><strong><span style=\"color: #138a8d;\">Educational value<\/span><\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>I believe that an important aspect of Lego and Legoland is the educational part. I mean, they open a word of possibilities, they give you the tools and your imagination makes a universe with it.<\/p>\n<p>Playing with anything is great for development. Playing with a toy that allows you to create an entire universe is beyond amazing. That is why 93% of parents\u00a0believe hands-on learning helps children retain knowledge for the future.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_5373\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-5373\" style=\"width: 996px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/solkes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/2002_04.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-5373\" src=\"http:\/\/solkes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/2002_04.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"996\" height=\"601\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-5373\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Laura Viera A \u00a9 Solkes<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>In Legoland, the educational possibilities are also present. There are interactive musical instruments, such as musical fountains, and the Aquatune hydraulophone, which is an underwater pipe organ in the shape of a giant Lego block.<\/p>\n<p>A Lego Mindstorms centre for fun-based learning and Duplo Gardens (for smaller children).<\/p>\n<p>Water flow channels in which participants can construct dams from Lego blocks to understand laminar and turbulent fluid flows.<\/p>\n<p>In the Build &amp; Test Centre you can test your creativity by constructing your own buildings and racing cars. And for those of you who dreamt of being a captain of a ship, there is the Harbour Cruise, where every visitor gets to steer his own boat.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_5384\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-5384\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><a href=\"http:\/\/solkes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/2002_14.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-5384\" src=\"http:\/\/solkes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/2002_14-300x482.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"482\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-5384\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Laura Viera A \u00a9 Solkes<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>On the other hand, if you want to research, construct and play to your heart&#8217;s content, then this is the place for you. Because here is something special to discover: namely, your own imagination!<\/p>\n<p>The imagination area of the park provides no boundaries. For example: in the Lego City Police Station you go on a criminal hunt.<\/p>\n<p>The <strong><span style=\"color: #138a8d;\">Lego Academy<\/span><\/strong> is great! People can choose\u00a0from various LEGO sets that fit your age and assemble them as described in the instructions. When you&#8217;re done, you can test if it works and expand your knowledge of technique and math by playing and trying it out. For each functioning model, there is the end of the <strong><span style=\"color: #138a8d;\">LEGO Academy diploma<\/span><\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>One of my favorite moments was when we got to see the production of the Lego bricks.<\/p>\n<p>Before you actually see the process there is a short video. In it they explain every minute detail and then they open the doors and you get to see the magic happened.<\/p>\n<p>So, you step into this mini version of what the production factory looks like. They let you walk around and see the entire thing.<\/p>\n<p>You get to experience from the injection molding and printing machine to assembly to packaging.<\/p>\n<p>At the end of the visit, there is a freshly poured LEGO stone to take away.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h4><strong><span style=\"color: #138a8d;\">A world full of fun and adventure<\/span><\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>Want to give your child an opportunity to become a pilot, or a knight, or an explorer?<\/p>\n<p>In this magic place children can slip into the roles of their heroes.<\/p>\n<p>But, in all honesty, I know I was surrounded by families and I must say that parents seemed to be having as much fun or even more than the kids.<\/p>\n<p>The rides are all Lego themed. As a matter of fact, many are made to appear as if they are built out of Lego bricks. They tend to be based on one particular line of Lego.<\/p>\n<p>Other highlights among attractions, that require active participation are the <strong><span style=\"color: #138a8d;\">Kids Power Tower<\/span><\/strong>, where visitors pull themselves up by their own strength, and the Pedal-A-Car, an overhead railway where you go as fast as you pedal.<\/p>\n<p>In <strong><span style=\"color: #138a8d;\">Lego X-TREME<\/span><\/strong> everything area everything is higher, faster and more action-packed. There are a lot of water fun promises the ride with the surfers. You could also build and program your own robot.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h4><strong><span style=\"color: #138a8d;\">Miniland and Star Wars<\/span><\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>Faithful replicas of buildings, figures and animals leave all visitors amazed.
