LEGOLAND® Florida Resort’s Junior Galaxy Explorers search stopped at the Museum of Discovery & Science in Fort Lauderdale, bringing a hands-on LEGO® spacecraft build challenge to children ages 6–12.
During a day filled with creativity and hands-on play, participants designed and built their own original LEGO® spacecraft - either in advance or on-site and presented their creations as part of an imagination-driven STEM exercise. Beyond the build challenge, families explored interactive exhibits throughout the Museum of Discovery & Science, reinforcing the program’s emphasis on curiosity, innovation, and hands-on discovery.
In addition to the LEGO® build challenge, families also engaged with Blue Origin’s ‘Postcards from Space’ activation, which invited kids to imagine and share messages inspired by space exploration and the future of STEM.
Entries are now being reviewed as part of the nationwide Junior Galaxy Explorers contest by LEGOLAND Florida Resort Master Model Builders alongside ambassadors from Blue Origin’s Club for the Future. Winners will be selected by Feb. 5, 2026, and announced by LEGOLAND Florida Resort.
The Junior Galaxy Explorers contest invites children across the country to design their own LEGO® spacecraft and submit a short video entry online or participate through in-person events at children’s museums across Florida and California.
Selected winners will receive an exclusive prize package, including:
· A chance to be among the first-ever guests to ride the all-new Galacticoaster at LEGOLAND Florida Resort, opening Feb. 27, 2026
· An opening weekend stay at LEGOLAND® Hotel
· Annual passes for their family
· Themed on-camera apparel
· A one-of-a-kind commemorative LEGO® build
Galacticoaster is part of Merlin Entertainments’ largest investment to date – LEGO® Galaxy – and introduces a first-of-its-kind indoor, space-themed family coaster to LEGOLAND Florida and California Resorts. On Galacticoaster, riders customize their own spacecraft using interactive touchscreens and RFID wristbands across four build phases – nose, tail, wings, and a special element – before launching into a journey through space. With up to 625 possible ride combinations, no two missions are ever the same!
The Fort Lauderdale stop marks the second in-person contest location in the Junior Galaxy Explorers search, ahead of its final Florida appearance on Saturday, Jan. 17, 2026, at Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex in Merritt Island.
