Castle Builder – Ontario Science Centre

This hands-on exhibit gives kids the chance to build their own toy castles, brick by brick. Models of real-world castles Blarney, Arundel, and Neuschwanstein offer insights about how castles were planned and built. Age-appropriate build areas for toddlers, ages 3–6, and ages 7 and older allow children to use their newfound knowledge to create their own unique structures.

And there’s lots more to see and do. Enter the kingdom’s royal castle to sit in their majesties’ thrones, view the royal decorations, including a suit of armour made out of LEGO^® bricks, and peek through the curtains to view the king’s secret treasure room, filled with jewels. Children and families are able to dress up as princes, princesses, knights or dragons, or climb a lookout tower. Meet the resident dragon, built entirely of LEGO^®, and practice your aim with a 3-D computer program and hands-on catapult.
