Lego Castle Adventure Opening Day Merriment
October 10, 2009 (9:30am-5pm)
Don’t miss out on opening-day fun and games! FREE with Museum admission.
Join us for an action-packed day of exciting LEGO activities to launch our newest limited engagement exhibit. At most museums, exhibits are strictly hands–off. But LEGO Castle Adventure is definitely a hands–on experience. Kids and adults step into a fanciful LEGO kingdom where everything is made of (what else?) LEGO bricks. There are dozens of LEGO brick activities and on opening day there are many more. See the list of one-day, one-time opportunities below and be there for this unique all-LEGO day of fun!
