Legoland Florida: A Lot of Brick-Filled Fun!!

Welcome back! Today I’m writing about Legoland Florida—two parts in particular. Heartlake City, home of the Lego Friends, and Miniland USA, a world of Lego-sized landmarks and cities from around the country.

First off, Heartlake City. Here, there is one ride, a stage show, three shops, and a whole lot of fun!


The video above shows me on the ride called “Mia’s Riding Adventure.” When you get on, you sit on one of the horses lining the edge of a big disk. Then the disk starts slowly moving back and forth on the track, while at the same time it’s slowly spinning. It gets faster and faster until you reach the top of the track. It seems a bit scary at first, but then it turns out to be pretty fun.


Heartlake City also contains a life-size statue (made of Legos, of course) of each Lego Friends character: Mia, Andrea, Emma, Stephanie, and Olivia. Tucked off to one side is an interactive fountain that squirts water and plays music.

The shop called the Heartlake Mall is filled with Lego Friends sets of all different shapes and sizes, and right next door is an ice cream place and candy shop! Yum!!


Now on to Miniland USA. Did you know that Miniland contains over 32 million Lego bricks?! With many models of cities from across the country, such as Las Vegas and San Francisco, you’ll never want to leave!


Many of the Lego re-creations of U.S. cities and landmarks have a push button or two. Those might make pieces move in the display or even squirt water at you!


Miniland also has little information plaques that tell you about the cities and their landmarks. Its Washington Monument model, for example, weighs 129 pounds. That sounds like a lot, but the real Washington Monument weighs 81,210 tons! Miniland also has a Star Wars section, with many famous scenes from the popular movies.


So check Legoland Florida out! I had fun, and so will you!!

Fun in the Sun at Sun-N-Fun!

Welcome back! I have someplace really fun to tell you about, called Sun-N-Fun. Sun-N-Fun is a private RV resort in Sarasota, Florida, but from April to Labor Day the pool and some activities there are open to the public. The pool area features an Olympic-size pool, an inflatable obstacle course floating on an indoor pool, a tall twisty waterslide, two hot tubs, a poolside bar and grill, and sometimes bungee jumping and "the Meltdown." The indoor obstacle course is made by Wibit Sports and is set up on the surface of an indoor pool. There are two long strips of obstacles, going in opposite ways. It is kind of something like American Ninja Warrior , with things to run on, jump over, and climb up. I really liked the Wibit. It is fun to challenge and race your friends, but also go by yourself and get better at it. In my opinion, one side was easier than the other, but both were fun. Every time you do it, you get a little bit better. I think falling off and...

Cool Stay at Coronado Springs

Image
Hi everyone! I’m really sorry that I haven’t posted in so long, but this summer, I’m back! Over this Memorial Day weekend, I visited Walt Disney World with friends and family, and I had a great time! First, our amazing hotel. We stayed at Coronado Springs (click here for their website), a resort we had never stayed at before. Coronado Springs is a Mexican-themed resort, featuring Disney’s very own Tres Caballeros. Inside the common area, or El Centro, you can find a sit-down restaurant, called the Maya Grill, Rix Sports Bar and Grill, a large food court, and a gift shop. In the center of the resort, there is a large lake with a sandy area surrounding it. On this sandy area, you can find many hammocks to relax on (which I thought was really cool). The hotel itself is great, but so is the location! Coronado Springs is only a very short drive or bus ride away from Epcot and Animal Kingdom, and not too far away from Hollywood Studios and Magic Kingdom. The gu...

Whirling Down Slides and Wading in Streams

Image
Hey guys! I have another entry about Pennsylvania for you!! I went to the Kids' Castle Playground , located in Central Park in Doylestown, Pennsylvania.  The castle is made of mostly wood, something you don’t see on as many playgrounds today. It is like a maze inside, because there are so many twists, turns, and many different ways to go. I would not recommend it for claustrophobic people because some of the tunnels and pathways can get small and narrow! Did you know that the playground is eight stories tall? There are two green, enclosed tube slides. The slides start at a very high part of the castle. They are very twisty and are kind of like a giant spiral down. Something else I like about the playground is that it has lots of pieces of artwork on it, as can be seen above. The playground also has a smaller “pirate ship” for little kids to play on, and some other things to do such as two “rock” towers you can climb on. Just behind the fenced...
