Science After Dark: Everything is Awesome

Get off your double-decker couch, locate your pants and join us for a LEGO brick-themed Science After Dark! You don’t have to be The Special to enjoy hands-on STEM activities that involve architecture, minifigures, racing and more. Whether you’re a Master Builder or need an instruction guide to get started, we’ll have a variety of family friendly programming all night long.

Why are we doubling down on the building block theme? Because we have Towers of Tomorrow with LEGO® Bricks on display, of course! Featuring 20 iconic skyscrapers from across the globe, this touring exhibition will have you marveling at the half a million LEGO bricks used to create massive replicas. Plus, you can show off your skills in the interactive construction areas stocked with 200,000 loose LEGO bricks.

And what’s with all The LEGO Movie references? We’re showing the feature film on the big screen to close out the night! Stick around after the activities end for the special treat of enjoying watching Emmett, Unikitty, Wyldstyle, Benny, Batman and the rest of the gang on The Dome’s nearly quarter-acre screen. Pretty awesome, right!?

So, make sure you take care of [Lord] Business, leave the Kragle at home and save the date for an awesome evening of building together on March 14.
