Legoland
Knowing Denmark was on our list of countries we were visiting
this year, it was always going to include a visit to Legoland.
Like most kids we grew up on Lego. Following various instructions, creating our own wonderful inventions and then introducing it to our kids. The Lego name is as popular now as it was when it begun and it turns 50 this year!
The cost to enter this world of fun is quite a hit to a fulltime travelling families budget. So we researched opportunities
to save wherever possible, even writing to them as worldschoolers and having an educational focussed blog – no response.
Being a worldschooler, part of a community of other families travelling and educating their kids. We were told by another family that Kelloggs had a discount coupon on cereal boxes. Soooooo we began stalking supermarkets in Germany and are happy to report we found one!! So we got half price on one adult and one child. Each adult had to have at least one child. We could not find any English speaking children we could borrow to get the further discount!
World record attempt
During the time we visited Legoland (in June 2018) they were attempting the world record for the highest Lego tower. Of course not one to back away from a challenge – we jumped right in. Thinking caps on we started discussing what will be our ‘mark’. Keeping in mind they are all made out of the same size blocks so you have to be a bit creative.
There were flags, names and various other fabulous creations. We knew we wanted Cake and Eat it 3 to feature somehow. Initially we thought lets write it all out, but boy would that take a while and its not like you can ban others from joining you on the shared tables. So, we settled for Cake 3 and set to work! This was a LOT of fun! The employees were equally excited at what we were trying to create and happily obliged in taking our photos on completion.
Setting off to explore the park in a clockwise direction, we 
managed to get everything in we wanted to see and do, with multiple goes on the favourites! Some of the best Lego creations were situated within the rides of Legoland.
- Food and drink as you can imagine was pretty expensive and we took our own sandwiches in with us and water bottles. Icecreams were equal to $8 Australian!
We all love thrill rides so it is no surprise that the biggest roller coaster in Polar land, Polar Explorer was a favourite. The robotics and opportunity to discuss programming with our worldschooler for the Ice Pilot School was a highlight.
SO MUCH FUN!
Working well as a team in Fire Brigade, using self powered fire
engines. Racing to put out the fire in an upstairs apartment (spraying water through a small hole) and returning to the station before the other teams, this was really great fun!
Lego featured regularly in and around the rides and eating areas throughout the park. A spooky ghost house with a fabulous mirror maze with an AMAZING spider at the entrance –
you guessed it made out of Lego!
Miss B liked the rides and Lego creations of the animals (no surprises). Brett & I really enjoyed walking through miniland, where it all began. Seeing replicas of famous buildings, beautiful scenes of 
Copenhagen which we can not wait to see in the upcoming weeks of our trip. The amount of hours spent creating these wonderful scenes would be mind blowing!
We checked back in on the world record tower attempt and found the block containing our creation had been installed! Hooray! A little bit of Cake and Eat it 3 was left behind at Legoland.
