If you could design your city of the future, what would it look like?  LEGOLAND® Discovery Center Dallas/Fort Worth is asking children to help design the future city of Dallas-Fort Worth with their new project, DFW of The Future.

The new exhibit aims to inspire the next generation of builders by giving them an opportunity to see their designs come to life out of LEGO® brick.  The project asks children to imagine what their city of the future might look like and what could be done better.

Children can submit their ideas for a chance to have them created out of LEGO brick in a special addition to the attraction’s signature MINILAND exhibit, which features replicas of North Texas landmarks.  The Master Model Builder will select designs and build them to scale for the new DFW of The Future model display, set to be unveiled early 2017. 

To enter, download and complete this form by August 31.  Entries can be submitted by email to contest.dfw@legolanddiscoverycenter.com, dropped in the LEGO Mailbox inside the attraction or mailed to LEGOLAND Discovery Center Attn: Master Model Builder 3000 Grapevine Mills Parkway Ste. 519 Grapevine, TX 76051.
