LEGO Discovery reveals 20-foot giraffe
as part of $12 million renovation

Boston, MA LEGO Discovery Center Boston revealed an all-new 20-foot giraffe as part of the attraction’s refurbishment. The giant creation took an entire day to assemble and features 22,000 LEGO DUPLO bricks. The LEGO Discovery Center, opening this spring, unveiled the new colorful giraffe as part of the $12 million renovation.

The new giraffe will be named Gio, after a local young boy who passed away six years ago after battling congenital heart disease. Gio’s family and friends were in attendance for the unveiling of the new giraffe. Speaking to what Gio the Giraffe means to the family, Gio’s mom, Maya Maggiore, said “He just loved giraffes. He was a big fan of colors. His favorite colors were primary colors. He just loved rainbows and everything beautiful about the world.”

Boston’s tallest giraffe will welcome guests to LEGO Discovery Center Boston once the attraction opens later this spring. The attraction will be a place where children’s imaginations and creativity know no bounds. An indoor adventure of 43,000 s/f where adults and children create and play together as they make their way through twelve zones including building adventures, an interactive ride and much more. 

The LEGO Discovery Center is home to every LEGO adventurer.
