Windy City to Wintry City: LEGOLAND replicates snowy Chicago cityscape

SCHAUMBURG, Ill. - Chicagoland will be blanketed in snow on Friday, but LEGOLAND Discovery Center Chicago is already giving us a sneak peek of what we'll see. 

The center replicated a snowy Chicago cityscape in its MINILAND experience, capturing what the city will look like after the incoming winter storm. 

And, the winter wonderland is made out of over a million LEGO bricks!
