So how was the excursion?
Well, let me start by saying that my love of LEGO is equal to my general distaste for theme parks (you won't catch me at Six Flags, Sea World, Universal Studios, or Disney-Anything). That in mind, LEGOLAND proved to be an expectedly interesting but not overwhelmingly fantastic experience.
The park is certainly geared toward a young audience (though, in my case, having kids would not have made the trip any better as I would have been thinking the whole time, 'whose kids are these?!').
I went to see the large sculptures, of course, and to snap lots of pictures. The models were suitably impressive, not only because of their size, but also because of the creative ways of using the LEGO bricks to achieve the desired intricacy. Obviously the official LEGO parks have access to any and every brick possible, but the sculptures proved that it takes more than sheer quantity or variety to sculpt these great masterpieces.
I stayed at LEGOLAND for about four hours, bought a t-shirt, a couple postcards, a refrigerator magnet and left satisfied. Not awestruck, but satisfied.
