Miniland at Legoland is beyond cool. The detail and craft of the scenes is just astounding. Plus, it's like, millions of Lego pieces. We liked that this wall is "damaged."

Tim and I watched these working(!) locks for a good ten minutes. The boat actually moves through them to a little harbor at the top.

All the Miniland scenes have cool little cars and trucks driving around on a magnetic track so they look like they're moving under their own power. (The magnets are not made of Lego.)

You can't see them, but there were little mutated animals eating the grass around the cooling tower.

This model of a French bistro is so accurate, the waiters were even rude!

Some park employee going about the tedious business of fixing a Miniland model. Looks like fun!

Edinburgh (pronounced "Edden-burruh") Castle (pronounced "cassell"), rendered in Lego. Just like the real thingonly smaller! (I've seen the real castle in person, and I honestly can't decide which one is cooler.)

I thought this was the castle where they shot the French scenes in Monty Python and the Quest for the Holy Grail. But it's not. It's the castle by Loch Ness. It is made of Lego though.

Back by the dam, there's a helicopter rescuing a kayaker. (What a coincidence that we'd be standing right there when the rescue took place!) Those are sheep in the foreground.

Check out that shrubbery. (I'm not being facetious: the grass was quite pretty.)
