Except for stepping on them, I’ve always loved Lego. I wasn’t very good at making anything with them, but I enjoyed playing with them and, when I had kids, there were bricks all over the place. We also had a really cool Lego table. As an adult, I also love watching other adults on TikTok obsessed with Lego and always working on a kit (my favorite is @sloondberry). When the new Legoland theme park opened up about 40 minutes from my home in Goshen, New York, I knew I wanted to visit. When the Lego movies came out, I watched several of them and they always made me laugh, especially The Lego Batman Movie.

But go to Legoland by myself? Me? A 57-year-old woman? When the new Legoland theme park opened up about 40 minutes from my home in Goshen, New York, I knew I wanted to visit. If anything, it looked like a selfie paradise, but I felt silly. The Legoland amusement parks seem geared to little kids and my kids are now in their mid-to-late-20s. But I really wanted to go. The kid in me was calling.

I wrote about my Legoland adventure on my sister site, Reel Travels Magazine, since it’s about film and TV travel. Click this link to read the rest of the article, see the photos and find out if I’ll go back.
