Lego Sculptures, Reading and Beading, and Other Fun Events

Here are some family-friendly events that look like a blast! And keep in mind, some of these events occur on multiple dates and/or times, so you're sure to find one that fits the whole family's busy schedule.

The Art of the Brick Exhibit

This exhibition features over 25 large-scale sculptures created out of LEGO bricks by artist Nathan Sawaya. While the exhibition is on view, a special area will be set up where visitors, inspired by Sawaya's work, can build their own fantastic LEGO creations. And on Dec. 27, check out a People's Choice LEGO Competition at the museum!

Reading and Beading (Mommy and Me)

Listen to a silly reading of "The Butt Book" by the author Artie Bennett. Kids also make a beaded bookmark with charm. Parents may create their own earrings for an additional $5. Registration required.

Journey to Going Green

Imagine That!!! is going green. Teach your children how they can help save the planet with a craft and presentations about solar energy and recycling. Cost of admission includes a craft and snack for children. Participants are asked to bring gently-used toys, clothing, or shoes for recycling and donation. Registration required.

A Very Furry Christmas

This family-friendly celebration includes three holiday shows and a light show at the 1-2-3 Christmas Tree, music, rides, and twinkling lights all around. The street will come to life at night with an illuminated Neighborhood Street Party Parade. Tickets required.

Joseph and The Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat
