Create Your State!

Unlock the stories that have shaped the past by exploring a giant LEGO re-creation of Colorado history. The pro builders from the Colorado and Wyoming LEGO Users Group have created this sprawling concoction of Colorado scenes - both factful and fanciful.

And, they've left room for you to build too! While you're here, grab some bricks, construct your own take on Colorado's most iconic structures, and discover your inner builder.

Free with admission to the History Colorado Center.

Members can get a preview on May 25!

Event Time: 9:30am-10:30am

Birds are everywhere - in the trees, in the sky, in the ponds, and in your backyard! Join Boulder County Parks and Open Space Volunteer Naturalists as they introduce children and their families to some of our flying neighbors. Using hands-on resources, we will learn "what is a bird?", and how different birds find the food, water, shelter, and space they need to live. You can also see how you measure-up to life-size silhouettes of a great blue heron, eagle, and great-horned owl (photo-op!). And, we will observe and touch real bird nests and wonder at the many ways that birds make homes to raise their babies. Included with Museum admission!
