Legoland Discovery Center



If you’re looking for a fun place to go with your whole family, head over to the Legoland Discovery Center in Yonkers, New York! This is an indoor family attraction that features models of local landmarks made from Lego bricks, building classes taught by master builders, a 4-D movie theatre, and some small rides and play fortresses.

One of the rides that they have is called Kingdom Quest. It is an interactive ride where you are riding in chariots mounted with laser guns that you will be firing at skeletons and trolls on your journey to rescue the princess. There is also a spinner ride called Merlin’s Apprentice, which has pedals at the bottom of each ride vehicle to help you go higher. The 4-D cinema plays a movie that has wind, rain, and snow effects. There is also a virtual reality ride where you must steer clear of flying objects, soar high in the air, and fly into lava caves. They also have an interactive and build challenge activity that will improve your flexibility, agility, ingenuity, and Lego brick building skills to protect Ninjago. It also has a Ninjago reaction test, a Ninjago laser maze, and earthquake tables where you see if your tower can last through an earthquake.

There is also a part called Miniland, which features miniature Lego replicas of famous New York landmarks. These landmarks were built from over 1 million Lego bricks and took a team of 15 expert model builders over 5,000 hours to build. There is also a place where kids can build and test their own racecars. Once the cars are built, they can race them against their friends or whoever else has built a racecar at the same time.

If you plan on going during December, you should also check out their Holiday Bricktacular event. It features many different holiday themed activities, such as gingerbread man cookie decorating, a meet and greet with the Lego gingerbread man, giant holiday builds of a snowman, a Christmas tree, and presents that you can take pictures in front of, a workshop where you can build holiday mosaics such as a Lego present, gingerbread house, snowman, and candy cane. Miniland New York will also be transformed into a winter wonderland and will also have a holiday scavenger hunt through candy cane lane, where you can spot all the hidden Lego candy canes placed throughout the city. There will also be a Lego ornament building activity where you can build ornaments and place them on the tree in the winter workshop. There is also a fun activity for kids, which is called arctic animal training, where they will learn how to roar like a polar bear, waddle like a penguin, and run like a reindeer. There will also be a hot chocolate bar, where you can build your hot chocolate however you want and choose from a selection of toppings.

So get your tickets and go have fun with some Lego bricks!

Greenwich Polo Club

Hello everyone! For today’s blog post, I’m going to do something I’ve never done before. I’m going to write about a place that I have never been before and don’t really know anything about, the Greenwich Polo Club. If you’re wondering how this idea came about, it was from one of my friends who said that I would love it and would have incredible things to write in my blogs. So I am going to take her advice and write about a place I have never been to before, learn about it along the way, and hopefully by the end of it, this place that I have driven past many times will become a place that I and all of you reading will want to go to.  I feel the best way to start writing about it is by explaining its history. It was first established in 1981 by industrialist and art collector Peter Brant, who also started the White Birch Polo Team, and I recently found out that either him or the father of the current owner is married to my friends’ aunt. Since it opened, the club has expanded from on...

American Dream Mall

  In today’s blog post, I am going to write about one of the most fascinating places in the East Coast, The American Dream Mall in East Rutherford, New Jersey! I was initially unsure if I wanted to write about it, as I didn’t know how far away it was, but after seeing that it’s less than an hour away on the quickest routes there, I knew that I had to write about it. It is the second largest mall in the United States, and it has so many big features that it had to open in stages, with an indoor amusement park and ice rink opening on October 25, 2019, an indoor skiing and snowboarding park opening on December 5, 2019, and an indoor water park and all the retail stores and dining establishments opening on October 1, 2020. The history of the mall is almost too long to get into, and if I try writing about all the businesses there, I will never finish writing about it anytime soon, so I will instead focus on the restaurants here, the entertainment businesses, and the indoor amusement par...
