📅 Every Saturday in August | 10:30 am – 1:30 pm Located in the Great Lakes Community Education Center | Included with museum admission, free for members and Museums for All. Set sail for creativity with Capt. Scupper’s Kids Club: Lego on the Lakes, supported by the Darrell & Jean Fox Fund. Throughout August, young builders and their families are invited to transform our Great Lakes Community Education Center into a bustling Lego shipyard—designing and constructing their own vessels inspired by the ships of the Great Lakes. From historic schooners to modern freighters, or even a miniature version of the Col. James M. Schoonmaker or Tug Ohio, the only limit is imagination. What to Expect Hands-On Design & Build: Plan, problem-solve, and bring your vessel to life using provided Lego bricks. Creative Engineering: Explore basic design concepts while experimenting with structure, balance, and form. Showcase Finale: Display your completed creation and celebrate the creativity and craftsmanship of every builder. Additional Details Ideal Ages: 13 and under, but all families are welcome. Cost: Free with museum admission, free for members and Museums for All (families receiving food assistance; thanks to our presenting sponsors UToledo Health and Toledo Refining Company). Registration required. Registration coming soon!
We tell the awe-inspiring stories of the Great Lakes. 500 breathtaking photographs, 250 artifacts, 45 interactive exhibits, and a 617-foot freighter.
