Who likes Legos?
Many kids do, that’s why "The Art of the Brick" exhibit at the Reuben H. Fleet Science Center in Balboa Park is expected to be a huge hit this month.
“We’re really excited about it. It’s a world-renowned exhibition,” Nathan Young, Public Relations Director for the Fleet Science Center, told NBC 7.
That the world’s largest display of Lego art is debuting in connection with the San Diego Museum Council’s "Kids Free in October" campaign is no coincidence.
The campaign gives free admission to kids 12 and under at 40 arts, cultural and science museums in San Diego County all month long while accompanied by one full-price, paid adult. Download the museum admission coupon here.
Traditionally, participating museums see a huge jump in attendance in October.
"There’s tons of opportunity on different subject matters, it’s a great opportunity to get out with your family and enjoy these museums," said April Tellez, of the San Diego Museum Council.
