LEGOLAND Discovery Center Boston to Host Kid vs Grown-Up Events Every Weekend in August

It’s kid vs grown-up for household bragging rights when guests compete in the second annual Kid vs. Grown-Up challenge at LEGOLAND Discovery Center Boston. This time, the theme will be to build things that are inspired by the new The Great LEGO® Race VR Experience!

Many believe that creativity declines with age and that kids have the upper hand when it comes to imagination and we’re putting that to the test every weekend in August, beginning Sat. August 4 and running through August 25 & 26.  Kids and grown-ups can show off their building skill in a bricktastic creativity battle with one grand prize winner being named at the end of the month. The winner will receive ultimate bragging rights, a private build session with a Megan Amaral, LEGOLAND Discovery Center Boston’s Master Model Builder and a LEGO® trophy.

The build challenges will be held throughout the weekend and judged by Megan and attraction staff who will decide who has the winning imagination. One winner will be announced the week of August 27th.

Admission is required to access The Great LEGO® Race VR Experience and the cost is $5, which is in addition to the admission price. The VR Experience was designed for guests six years old and older.  For guests that would like to participate in the Kid vs Grown-Up Challenge, but not go on the VR Experience, they will be able to watch a short video of The Great LEGO® Race to help inspire their builds. More information can be found at https://boston.legolanddiscoverycenter.com/whats-inside/events/kids-vs-grownups/
