LEGO® Trains Member Event

Discover imaginative landscapes and city scenes built of LEGO® bricks.

Content Detail

Arboretum members can explore a sprawling scene built of LEGO® bricks and watch the trains run along bustling avenues, between towering skyscrapers, and past colorful city gardens. Kids and adults alike will enjoy spotting Chicago landmarks and discovering the secrets held within this miniature world.

In partnership with the Northern Illinois LEGO Train Club, LEGO Trains will be on display from Saturday, January 24, and Sunday, January 25 in the Sycamore Room, near the Visitor Center on the Arboretum’s East Side.

Although the LEGO Trains Member Event is exclusive to Arboretum members, guests who are not members are encouraged to visit Juniper Junction, a large-scale model railroad display that is included with Arboretum admission and open to all.
