Cosmic Contact at the Grand Rapids Children's Museum

Cosmic Contact invites kids and families to dive into hands-on building experiences centered around space exploration using LEGO bricks. Children can design their own space stations, imagine alien worlds, engineer creative inventions, and work through fun challenges—all while discovering that there are many ways to build and problem-solve. The exhibit features a striking large-scale LEGO mural created by a local artist, making it as visually engaging as it is interactive. This exhibit was developed by the Grand Rapids Children's Museum in partnership with design studio Gyroscope and local fabrication company Meta4mat. It's a wonderful opportunity for families to work together, test ideas, and let imaginations run wild. Whether your child is a LEGO enthusiast or simply curious about space, this hands-on experience encourages creative thinking and collaborative play in a supportive environment.
