What to Expect
Step into a bricktastic world inspired by early-medieval Viking culture where creativity and imagination come alive. Children and adults alike can build legendary longboats, mythic monsters, and ancient architecture using LEGO® bricks. This hands-on experience encourages storytelling and artistic expression through customised minifig® characters.
The highlight is the Mysteries of Midgard Mosaic, a large-scale collaborative mural that reveals a spectacular hidden Viking-Age Vessel image. Visitors can contribute by placing mosaic bricks pixel by pixel, watching the artwork grow throughout the school holidays.
This activity is perfect for families looking for an engaging, creative outing during the winter break, providing a fun and educational experience for kids aged 4 to 14 and their parents.
