Kids of all ages can assist LEGOLAND Discovery Center’s "Model Builder team" in creating the 2.5-by-4-feet mosaics, which will be displayed at the Visitor Center for an extended period of time.

Families can stop by anytime between 10 a.m. and 5 p.m. to join in the LEGO brick-building fun, but those who visit at 2 p.m. will get to see the unveiling of a LEGO model of the Comcast Technology Center.

The model was created from 49,728 LEGO bricks and stands at nearly 11 feet. It will be added to LEGOLAND's MINILAND exhibit in Plymouth Meeting. In the exhibit, Philly landmarks like City Hall, Citizens Bank Park, Reading Terminal and Lincoln Financial Field were recreated with LEGO bricks.
