They're trying their hardest to be as sanitary as possible under the current circumstances I saw a hand sanitizer bottle at every station, although it's largely on you to make sure that your kid is practicing good hygiene. The most popular station is the car-building area, which gets messy fairly quickly, but there are Legoland employees who are constantly collecting and recollecting the discarded pieces, and refilling the bins with more bricks. The first is Test & Play, which is a massive sandbox area divided into different stations. In Bricktopia, there are two areas dedicated solely to building. My six-year-old son and his younger cousin loved the freeplay areas, and they would have spent even more time there if the park hadn't closed. And they definitely don't have a massive, eight-foot-tall ramp to test their vehicular creations. On the surface, this may seem silly why travel all the way to Legoland to do what your kids already do at home with their box of bricks? Your children may have LEGOs at home, but they probably don't have this variety or sheer volume. Must-Do: Spend Time Building In The Freeplay Areas For the LEGO model of the Bellagio in Las Vegas, the technicians were installing water jets underneath the front pool to create a facsimile of the actual fountain show.ĥ. Miniland is still somewhat under construction, and it will be even more impressive by the time it's completed while I was there, I saw technicians adding interactive elements to a lot of the models. At a distance, these models look smooth and seamless it is only when you move closer, and see the thousands upon thousands of bricks used to create the illusion, that you get a full appreciation for what you're looking at. There's also a sprawling model of Jackson Square in New Orleans, complete with the famous Cafe du Monde on the corner. Rushmore, and the Empire State Building are all standouts. It contains some truly impressive LEGO sculptures of well-known American landmarks. If you're a LEGO fan like I am, Miniland might be the highlight of the entire park for you. ![]() Legoland New York says it will eventually have some sort of Fastpass, queuing system, but it's not clear what that will entail just yet. But once the park opens to the wider public, those times could increase. On average, I waited about 20-25 minutes per ride, which felt reasonable. Be warned however: these slots fill up quickly. You can also "Reserve ‘N’ Ride" and schedule the attraction ahead of time. Then, once you’re inside the park, it will track and update the wait times of all the rides. It’s very convenient you can buy tickets off the app, and it comes with an interactive map. Must-Do: Download the AppĪhead of your visit, download the Legoland New York app to your phone.

A thousand plateaus ascending and descending, separating and merging to form a fluid space of private and public plateaus. By turning the site in to a modular matrix of 12X12ft we created an elastic field of peaks and valleys. Rather than seeing the modular mania as a straightjacket, this project is a homage to Danish building industry. Denmark has become a country built from LEGO bricks. ![]() The last 50 years the Danish building industry has been exclusively devoted to prefabrication. From shopping at Dean and Deluca to chess players in the park to people working out at the gym, sipping coffee, and doing "it" (yes "it"), we still recognize the New York nuances in an otherwise block-happy world. The Storefront for Art and Architecture's currently exhibiting CPH Experiments by BIG, a Copenhagen based group of over 80 architects, designers, builders and thinkers. If you like to eat LEGOs, perhaps you'd go wild about the idea of living a city constructed from them.
