Lego Land Chicago, IL Summer Vacation Part VI

Next on our vacation itinerary was a trip to Lego Land. It is actually located in Schaumberg but the website calls it Chicago so close enough. This was so much fun. Caelun having just turned 4 was right at the edge of being able to enjoy it fully. I think 6-8 is probably the prime age if you are looking to take kids. It is a bit pricey but it was worth it. They have rides, Lego 3D movie, a carnival trip through a fun house that tells a story with all the characters built out of Legos, a pit with foam Legos to jump in, a play structure with Lego swings etc.., and a place to build Lego cars and race them. This is in  addition to every character you can think of being life size and built of Legos.

Welcome to Legoland
