LEGO® collectors of Canberra – rejoice!
One thing is for sure about LEGO® – it isn’t just for kids – there’s a lot of adult LEGO enthusiasts and collectors out there! And yep, my family are LEGO lovers from way back! We were lucky enough to be invited to do a Visit California famil trip last year and were hosted at LEGOLAND California and got to stay in the LEGOLAND Castle hotel. And of course we’ve been to the wonderful LEGOLAND Melbourne too. We are also avid watchers of LEGO Masters. So you can bet we were super-eager to see the new LEGO store in Canberra – our local stomping ground!
LEGO sets galore in-store!
All LEGO fans are catered to in the new Canberra store, as there are some incredibly technical and huge LEGO® sets here on offer. From Star Wars ships to a massive Disney Castle, there’s a lot to unpack here!
Everywhere you wander, LEGO® staff are on hand to help you out with questions and information about the different sets on offer.
Fun LEGO® statues and installations in-store
Not just any ordinary toy shop, the new Canberra LEGO Store encourages interaction and hands-on fun!
Canberra Lego store kangaroo girl selfie installation
Kangaroo Selfie LEGO Girl
The first thing that you notice when you enter the new LEGO store in Canberra is the huge Kangaroo and LEGO girl taking a selfie together.
This fabulous construction was made by Ryan McNought (AKA “The Brickman”), with 87,173 lego bricks and took 394 hours!
The Kangaroo Selfie Girl is an awesome spot to “do it for the gram” and get an Instagram selfie right along with them – we had to do this immediately of course – so fun!
There are lots of LEGO installations scattered around this large new store – it’s a real adventure just to wander around!
Brickman Black Mountain Tower Canberra Mosaic
This Brickman Canberra mosaic is a real artwork!
Not to be missed is the incredible mosaic covering a pillar towards the rear of the store. Also built by The Brickman Ryan McNought, this beautiful LEGO mosaic was inspired by a photograph taken by local artist Erna Glassford.
The artwork features Black Mountain Tower surrounded by hot air balloons drifting over from Lake Burley Griffin. It’s such an iconic Canberra image art work!
Interactive Digital Box screen
Bring LEGO sets to life with this interactive display box!
An interactive Digital Box screen is installed on one wall which allows users to stand on a feet-sticker on the floor to make LEGO® sets come to life!
LEGO® Play Table
The LEGO DUPLO play table is sure to be a big hit with preschoolers!
There’s a fun play table for the kids to build their own dream DUPLO designs in-store! With a huge range of DUPLO sets available in the new store, this larger, easier to use LEGO for smaller hands makes the perfect gift for toddlers and preschoolers.
