LEGOLAND Chicago presents LEGO Star Wars Miniland {and GIVEAWAY!}

March 7, 2013

Congratulations to Rachel P. who won our LEGOLAND tickets giveaway (chosen via Random.org)! Have a blast!

This giveaway has ended.

It’s no secret that we really enjoy ourselves at LEGOLAND Discovery Center Chicago whenever we have a chance to head out to Schaumburg. Last night, we had the opportunity to preview the LEGO Star WarsTM Miniland and this was no exception. 

The walk-through exhibit will offer an intergalactic immersion into the sights and sounds of Star Wars: Episode I The Phantom Menace. Guests at LEGOLAND Discovery Center Chicago will be transported from the beautiful rolling hills of Naboo, with its ancient domed city and cascading waterfalls, to the treacherous terrain of the desert planet of Tatooine. Interactive features will offer hands-on fun for even the youngest of Padawans who can take part in a thrilling Podrace with the young Anakin Skywalker and help defeat the evil Droid Army in the ‘Droid Destruction’ game.

“This is going to be a colossal brick-building feat,” said Andrew Johnson, LEGOLAND Discovery Center’s Master Model Builder. “We’re looking at upwards of 500,000 LEGO bricks, 2,000 Star Wars minifigures and 1,500 man-hours to create what we hope local LEGO fans are really going to appreciate.”

I was impressed at how many mini figurines their were, the attention to detail and the interactive parts of the exhibit from podracing to a variation on a pinball machine. Personal favorites were the larger than life-size Darth Vader and R2D2 Lego Robot. The boys also loved trying to find the characters & vehicles in the opening cityscape of Chicago. To find Yoda, look up!

Just hangin’ out. No big deal.

    Depends on which one of us you ask! Yoda is a pretty big fave as is Chewy, but hey, R2D2 pretty much always steals the show. And our vote 🙂

    Anikan Skywalker is my answer. Although I do have a question. If your kids are not into Legos OR Star Wars, is it worth taking them to this place?
