Museum of Science and Industry After Hours: Brick Bash

Enjoy drinks, food and music inside one of the world’s largest science museums, after it closes to the public! The Museum of Science and Industry, Chicago, is hosting its first-ever adults-only event on Saturday, July 16, and everyone is encouraged to tap into their inner LEGO® builder.

MSI and WBEZ Chicago have partnered up to throw the ultimate grown-up kids’ soiree, filled with LEGO-themed festivities. MSI After Hours: Brick Bash will feature build-your-own sliders as well DIY cocktails with the help from an experienced mixologist. Guests can also sample craft beer from BrickStone Brewery, based in Bourbonnais. Admission includes free on-site parking, snacks, a complimentary cocktail, and exclusive access to MSI’s temporary exhibit Brick by Brick and other popular Museum exhibits.

Brick by Brick features 13 spectacular LEGO-built structures, including a 60-foot-long Golden Gate Bridge, the International Space Station, St. Louis Gateway Arch, Frank Lloyd Wright’s Fallingwater, the Roman Colosseum, and many more. MSI After Hours: Brick Bash guests will also be able to listen in to a live taping of the “General Admission” WBEZ podcast featuring the creator behind these brick marvels, LEGO® Certified Professional and Chicago native Adam Reed Tucker.

Tickets cost $30 and are available online. A cash bar will also be available.
