For any Lego fan, the Travelling Bricks Lego exhibition in Nicosia is a must. Full of all kinds of intricate models – even I was impressed.  For Goobie, it was heaven.

We heard about the Lego exhibition from school. Goobie’s class has been studying transport and his teacher flagged up the exhibition as a great place to take the children because it is all about transport. We visited it last Sunday. It’s easy to find –  it’s in a building at the far end of The Mall of Cyprus (the opposite end of the mall to Ikea). It’s in a separate building and you’ll spot it as soon as you drive past because there are pictures of Lego on it.

We knew it was going to be good before we’d even paid for our tickets because this greeted us as we went in:

The exhibition costs €8 each which, to be honest, I thought was a little steep. But then I’m not the target audience. It’s open 9am to 8pm on weekdays, 10am to 8pm at the weekend. The exhibition is divided into different categories of transport – air, land, sea and space.

In the Air section were models of Concorde, a Red Arrow and a hot air balloon to name a few.

There were really cool models of old penny farthings in the Land section. I loved the intricacy of a Roman soldier in a chariot.

By far, Goobie’s favourite models in the Land section were of the trains. He was really excited to see the Mallard and the Stephenson’s Rocket. He studied the Orient Express for ages.

Attached to each exhibit were signs telling you about each one and how many Lego bricks it took to build. The pièce de résistance was the 7ft-long model of the Titanic, complete with Kate and Leonardo at the bow and the fated orchestra. 200,000 Lego bricks were used to build it.

Besides the Titanic, there were other impressive models in the Sea section, including a Viking longship and a massive galleon. I loved the miniature sailors on board.

The Space section was popular with everyone. Some of the models were bigger than Goobie!

At the end of the exhibition is a large room where you can have a go at building Lego models yourself.  There are two big ball pits – though instead of balls they are filled with Lego. Tables have been set up to build your creations on. And at the far end, you can buy Lego kits.

We spent around an hour at the exhibition, though unfortunately we didn’t have time to build our own Lego models. Goobie loved it; he was so excited. It’s an absolute must for all Lego fans – big as well as small!

The Travelling Bricks Lego Exhibition closes 31^st March 2017
