The world’s largest sports competition has been made mini! The world’s smallest sports scenes can be spotted using thousands of LEGO® bricks and hundreds of LEGO® minifigures at Merlin Entertainments’ LEGOLAND® Discovery Centers and LEGO® Discovery Centers around the globe. From archery to wrestling and everything in between, every sport has been built in LEGO® bricks by our team of talented Master Model Builders to celebrate!
The local attraction, LEGOLAND Discovery Center Bay Area, contributed to the global effort by creating Beach Volleyball and Marathon Swimming scene outs of LEGO bricks which took Master Model Builders Alison and CJ around a total of 3 hours to make. Families can be inspired by the sports scene and spot it in the attraction’s MINILAND, a replica of the Bay Area cityscape made up of more than a million LEGO bricks, now through August 11th.

He is encouraged by his grandmother, his Lola, and best friend, Yasmine, to dance. But, it isn’t until he meets an unlikely friend—a Martian—that he finds the courage to embrace his bold moves and discovers that creative expression knows no bounds.

About Reach Out WorldWide
Reach Out WorldWide (ROWW) was founded in 2010 by the late actor/producer, Paul Walker. After a massive earthquake devastated Haiti, Paul spontaneously organized a relief team that responded to the disaster. On the trip, Paul saw a gap between the availability of skilled resources and the requirement for such personnel in post-disaster situations. Upon returning from Haiti, Paul established ROWW with the purpose of fulfilling this unmet need. Since Paul’s passing, ROWW continues to be a platform for like-minded individuals to make a difference in other people’s lives. It started as an idea and has transformed into a culture equally benefiting the volunteers as much as the people they are assisting. It’s turning the “I generation” into a “goodwill generation.” It’s giving good people not just a voice but a chance to act.
