U.S. Capitol brick by brick: New LEGO center houses miniature versions of iconic D.C. locations
The newly-opened LEGO Discovery Center Washington DC in Springfield Town Center is a Lego playground dream with more than 3 million bricks for kids to create with.
Visitors will find 12 immersive zones, from the Imagination Express to Build Adventures, where kids can design their own Lego creations."Kids and their families are really learning while they are playing, while they are creating amazing memories together using math, science and technology," Julie Estrada, Merlin Entertainment's public relations director, said.
The master model builder at the center is a local himself. Andrew Litterst is a former environmental science teacher and Lego enthusiast. He entered a competition to get this job. "All of this is made of a million and a half bricks and took a team of over 25 model builders, and 4,065 hours total to put together," Litterst said, adding that this is his dream job.
