The Last to Post-2nd Edition - Part 3

[PrincessInOz]

And now for LAST.

 

[franandaj]

Watching TV LAST, feeling like I was run over by a truck today.

 

[skiingfast]

Taste the bumper and tires that got stuck in your teeth? I meant teeth, nobody from Arkansas here.

 

[franandaj]

No just the bruises and pain all over where the tires left their treadmarks.

So, I paid $15 for an adult ticket and $10 for a child ticket to see the Lego exhibition. A separate activity for the kids involved "Pick and Play"...where they were to spend 45 minutes building their own Lego. This ticket was $10 and was strictly limited to what seems to be about 25 kids per session. For today, there were about 6 sessions and they were all sold out. I don't know if you would consider the Australian pricing expensive; but for what I normally pay for kids activities here, it wasn't that bad.

This is the Pick and Play room....

....and make a tower as tall as you can in 10 minutes.

DS and his partner made the one in the front; which turned out to be the second highest (the one behind was taller).


There were 3 separate 'picks' for the next activity...make a car; make a space rocket or free build. DS decided to make a car.

Which turned out to be a good move......

....because there were races to follow.

DS was happy.

I think that at 10 turning 11, DS is probably just starting to outgrow this activity.


The exhibition was surprisingly good. I guess I hadn't given much thought to the use of Lego as an art media...and yes, this is despite having gone to Legoland a number of times and also seeing the displays outside Lego shops in the US.

Whilst we got the standard (but brilliant) Lego models...

...we also got wall art that was just superb! These were made with single Lego blocks.

These were my favourites...

We spent 1.5 hours in total in the building and enjoyed every minute of it. To my mind, it was $45 well spent for the first school holiday morning activity. Hope this gives you a taste of the exhibition!
