Dive into a pile of museum-supplied bricks and build a boat using only your imagination! 

Prizes are awarded by age level – all ages and abilities welcome

Frequently Asked Questions:

Do I have to reserve a time?  No,  this is a drop-in event

What’s new this year?  This year, due to space restrictions, the kit models will not be available to assemble.

Can I build a ship at home and bring it in to be judged?  No, all guests must work with bricks supplied by the museum

What if more than one person works on the same boat?  That’s OK!  But the boat will be judged according to the age of the eldest builder.

Do I have to be there to win a prize?  No, you do not need to be present to win.  All winners will be informed by email.
