Looking for something fun and unique things to do in Gulfport? Love LEGOs? TrainTastic’s Brick Builders Club is a community group for Adult LEGO Fans (AFOLs) in Gulfport. Members help design, build, and maintain seasonal and permanent LEGO displays throughout the museum. It’s a place for local hobbyists to connect over a shared love of building, and their work becomes part of exhibits that thousands of museum guests see and enjoy.
What the Brick Builders Club Is All About
Model railroading and LEGO building go hand in hand. That’s the idea behind TrainTastic’s Brick Builders Club. Members meet other LEGO fans, share ideas, and explore upcoming projects together. They also help shape the displays that greet visitors throughout the museum year-round.
There’s room for every kind of builder here. Trains, cities, architecture, Technic, custom MOCs (My Own Creations), it doesn’t matter what someone specializes in. There’s a place for those skills within the club.
