Oh, Legoland, wonderful play park with the most fantastic creations in Lego bricks, a very nicely planted-up ground and the mini-trees and other plants in the mini-town. It's so nice to visit, and this year we were lucky enough to pick a day without the big crowds.



Some of the wonderful scenes:









I thought I had photographed Mount Rushmore, but I obviously haven't. Sitting Bull is very big and the pirates are life-size.

This donkey was in Legoredo town, a western-inspired collection of shops and restaurants.



There are lots of roundabouts, roller coasters and stuff. I had to go with the girls in three of them and came home with three "Scream"-by-Munch-lookalike photos. *lol* This was't so bad, though:



Some of the planting arrangements:







There's lots of water everywhere, all nicely laid out and planted up:









From the tower, an overview:







The miniature Lego towns and landscapes. The details are amazing. I put some of these photos in "My Garden". They're a bit bigger than these:



The fountain is working:



Amalienborg, the Danish Queen's castle:





Swedish mid-summer celebrations:



Scottish scenery:





There's also a very pretty aquarium, a rather new feature. I found these upside-down jelly fish very interesting.



And this sea anemone too:



I obviously had too much fun to photograph much. Oh, me, what am I like. Anyway, our next stop was at a safari park called Billund Zoo, where we could drive among giraffes, zebras and even lions.

What an amazing group of foto's these are. I have heard of Legoland, of course...but never been there. I am amazed by what I see in your fotos.
Legoland looks like a good "all-round" fun park for children and adults alike.

Keep the pictorial journal coming, Droopy, I am enjoying this no end.

Gosh it's hard to believe that all the buildings, people, animals etc are all made out of lego bricks. I wonder how long it took to make that lovely Scottish scene. I really love the donnkey too!! What a fantastic place to spend a day. One day I really must try to get to Legoland to see it for myself.
Amazing shots of the jellyfish and colourful
anemone by the way.

OK I'm ready for more please.

I find it hard to believe that lots of people actually get payed for making Lego houses. *lol*

That donkey is life-size. I wonder how many blocks they used to make it?

But what I find most amazing are the live mini-trees and bushes planted in the mini-town. I wonder how many gardeners they've got to maintain that mini-garden.

That's amazing, Droopy. I have a grandson that would love to see this - the effort that must have gone into it. The gardens make it look cool and inviting.
Awaiting the next installment.

Legoland -- looks like a blast. I play with Legos with the kids at school sometimes.... I can only imagine what was involved in creating all of these things! I hope the rides and real buildings aren't made of Legos too! I'd love to see the mini-town and garden.

Legoland is fun for all, even those who don't build with Lego bricks any more. :) The rides and serious stuff are not made from lego, fortunately. I wouldn't have dared try them if they were.
