My friend Amelie from London Mums Kids Club and I recently attended the opening of Heartlake City, a brand new LEGO® Friends themed area, guests to the LEGOLAND Windsor Resort. To celebrate there was a temporary gigantic 2.6m x 3.6m LEGO mosaic of singing superstar Taylor Swift after she topped a poll asking youngsters which celebrity they would most like as their best friend. The mosaic was created by fans visiting the Resort on the Bank Holiday weekend using a total of 35,840 individual bricks.
It was our first visit there and we were super excited. Check out our video review of the new Lego Friends are as well as the whole park.
