The Happiest Place in the Happiest Country

I don't know anyone who didn't play with Lego as a child. I certainly spent many happy hours building, taking down and rebuilding those bricks. I still remember how I stumbled across the toy. I was out with my grandma in a department store. I don't know what attracted me to the tiny box but I was determined to have it. Grandma was more than hesitant to get it, given it was a toy we had never encountered before, and more importantly, it was 60RMB for a tiny box!! But me, being the pampered princess that I was, pressured and pressured until Grandma relented. And it snowballed from there: my cousin and I had so much fun with that tiny box that soon she bought a larger box; then a little later my parents bought me a big box from Australia.

So it's no exaggeration to say that I was looking forward to the Legoland excursion with great anticipation. I was going to have more fun than on the swings at Den Gamle By. To be perfectly honest, it didn't unleash that huge burst of excitment of the Den Gamle By swings did, but it certainly did evoke much happy nostalgia.

Legoland wasn't how I expected...although I didn't know what to expect in the first place. I suppose it's just like any other fun park albeit with a younger target audience (let's not get started on the amount of toddlers there were) and with a lot of models (animals, houses, people, Egyptian mummies) built out of Lego. There were many rollercoaster rides that took inspiration from the Lego series previously released, but they mostly were not very scary. But still, all in all, it was a great day. Perfect place to unleash and reconnect with your inner child. It nearly meets my elevated expectations for funness: 9.5/10

The place has a real aquarium with real sharks, manta rays and Lego scuba divers and submarines
