Grandpa and Nana bought Noah and I tickets for Lego Land. They got us ticket a few months ago when we were in town but we got to go again this time and didn't forget my camera this time! Noah loves it! It was such a fun date. We went to eat pizza for lunch at the Grapevine Mills mall food court and then headed to Lego Land. Wish we had one closer cause their season tickets are a good deal!
The first room you go in they have a lego sand box with the smallest size legos. They also had several Duplo size lego wall stations to play at with.
After that first waiting room they had a man meet us to take us to the next room to tell us how they make Legos. It was pretty neat. They heat the plastic balls up to 450 degrees, punch them into individual molds and cool them in 15 seconds in order for them to get to the strength they designed them to be. Then each Lego is painted individually with a paint brush and some have extra stuff painted on them. Pretty neat!
After that, you come to a room where you can ride a ride where you go around trying to shoot the bad guys and rescue the Princess. You get your points at the end that tells how well you did. I don't think Noah quite got it since he really hasn't played video games but he liked 'shooting' the gun anyway. Here he is waiting in line to ride.
Here is the car you sit in and gun you shoot.
After that you go into the main play place where you can do several different things. One area had a 4D movie. We watched a Bob the Builder movie (same as last time we came here) where they build a roller coaster from the lego model they make. It is neat. It was kinda like what Mommy used to with civil engineering except it was a highway or bridge. :) Noah loved that we got sprinkled with water, snowed on, and our hair blew in the wind as we road the coaster during parts of the movie.
Here is Noah taking a picture with Dallas Maverics player Dirk. The whole body is composed of the smallest legos as well as the basketball!!!
Here is the tower that Noah and I made. It is made of the large foam legos. I am not sure if they sell those? It consisted of green legos of course since he likes to color code everything. The girl taking the picture did not get the top of it...what was she thinking not getting the whole glory of our tower?
Here is Noah on the baby giraffe. All of the statues where made of the smallest legos.
Here is another one of the rides. The faster you peddle the higher you went. I didn't peddle at all the first time thinking that was just something they said to make you peddle to make the kids think they are doing it. But, you really have to so we rode several more times after that so Noah could have the pride of being the highest car. Noah couldn't reach the peddles so I had my work out in for the day.
They also had a mini lego land with various places/buildings around the DFW area. They had several buildings, an airport, the Cowboys stadium, the baseball stadium, etc. They had a few places that you could push buttons to move the crane, the football players, the train, airport, etc.

The elephant statue was in the duplo lego section.
In the duplo section Noah had a flower garden and a pig farm.
They had a slide for the little kids and a whole other area that was equivalent to a fast food playground times five. Pretty neat!
In another area, Noah made a race car. He truly enjoyed racing his against the other children. 3...2...1 GO!
If you look at the top of this next picture you can see where a child can build something and then turn the 'earthquake' thing on and see if their structure lasts. Cool! Motorcycle...
We had a lot of fun on our date! I think that is the first time I've taken Noah into a mall without a stroller or a baby wrap. He is growing up! My baby is such a big boy!
