See 300,000 LEGO® bricks in 14 incredible displays in Nature Connects 2 all in beautiful Lauritzen Gardens!
We loved viewing the amazing creations 2 years ago in Nature Connects, and cannot wait to see what new ideas have been designed. The intricate nature of each exhibit was impressive, with great detail and creative ideas!

Compare your wing span to a beautiful monarch butterfly, stand tall with a majestic bald eagle, go nose-to-nose with a giant praying mantis and waddle along with a friendly family of ducks. Inspired by nature and built from nearly 300,000 LEGO® pieces, this indoor exhibit features 14 displays with 27 larger-than-life sculptures that represent the web of incredible connections that sustain life on Earth.
