What Is In The New LEGO Discovery Center in Somerville?

So far no photos of the renovations have been revealed, but plans for the updates released last fall say new features will include

1. A Lego Space digital experience where families can build their own rocket ships and then launch them into cyber space.

2. A DUPLO Park for preschoolers to build with those bigger bricks little ones love

3. A Creative Club activity zone filled with thousands of bricks to inspire your child's next Lego masterpiece.

4. The Hero Zone with a climbing wall and laser maze.

5. A brand new MINIWORLD built out of 1.5 million LEGO bricks.

Obviously big things have been brewing at the Discovery Center and I know I am excited to see all the new features and build with my kids.

As if that wasn't enough awesome LEGO news for local families, there is more happening around the SouthCoast with tiny bricks.

On May 20 & 21 there's an entire LEGO convention coming to Warwick, Rhode Island, now through April 23 there is a LEGO art exhibit in a gallery on Newbury Street and the LEGO company recently announced that Boston would be the new home of their North American headquarters.

Definitely a good time to like building with LEGO here on the SouthCoast.
