LEGO® lovers will marvel at architecture from around the world through recreations made from these bricks by UK-based artist Warren Elsmore. Brick City features lively streetscapes from Cartagena, Columbia; Mardi Gras celebrations in New Orleans; intricate temples from India to Mexico; and imaginative castles from medieval Japan to modern Las Vegas.
Builders young and old will enjoy an interactive area where they can build their own masterpieces out of LEGO® bricks. An expansive “graffiti wall” will provide a canvas to create art using the toy bricks.
