Legendary LEGOs

Consistently topping toy lists as a favorite for children of all ages, LEGO® is certainly at home in Kansas City, where the young and the young-at-heart enjoy creativity and inspiration.

One of Kansas City’s newest attractions, LEGO®land Discovery Center is a favorite for families. Imaginations run wild at the 30,000-square-foot interactive attraction featuring hands-on play areas, a 4D cinema, master classes from the LEGO® master model builder, LEGO rides and exhibits, including Miniland, a celebration of Kansas City’s most beloved landmarks in a model city created entirely of LEGO® bricks.

There’s still time to catch Powell Gardens’ “NATURE CONNECTS: LEGO® Brick Sculptures” though Sept. 29. Walk under an 8-foot-tall hummingbird, pose beside a 7-foot rose, go nose-to-nose with a 5-foot butterfly, and then create your own LEGO® design! Built from nearly 500,000 LEGO® bricks, the NATURE CONNECTS exhibit features 27 larger-than-life sculptures set in 14 scenes built by New York artist Sean Kenney.

Union Station, home to the KC Rail Experience, features KC Brick Lab’s LEGO® exhibit among the model trains. Each season, the exhibit is updated with new themes, including an electric LEGO® train.
