Legoland Discovery Center

Lucas' friend, Blake, invited us to go to the Legoland Discovery Center with his family one day. It was a perfect time to see the place - a quiet Sunday, on guest pass rate with Blake's family membership! First up was a little tour of how a Lego is made and each kid was given a LEGO to take home. The LEGO City car ride was fun. The kids actually got to steer these cars (instead of just riding a pre-set course).

The model area...replicas of the Dallas skyline, Cowboys Stadium, Rangers Stadium, Great Wolf Lodge, the Fort Worth Stockyards, etc.


The detail was pretty amazing. This is inside the ballpark.


The 4-D movies were also fun to watch. The LEGO movies were in 3-D (hence the rockin' glasses) but then the audience was misted with water when it was raining on screen, smells were piped in when a skunk sprayed, etc.


There were no Spurs players on display, but there was a life-size Dirk Nowitzki.


The whole place was relatively small. There are a handful of rides and a playground in the middle. There were also LEGO building areas and a cafe. It was great for my younger kids but Jacob would probably be bored if we went too many times. But the first time sure was fun!
