Points of Interest
1. Art Museum
The Art Museum is home to some of the finest paintings and sculptures in the world—but you’re going to be more interested in getting to the rooftop than going on a tour. The Art Museum serves as the starting point to reaching the roofs of both the Museum of Natural History (POI 2) and the library (POI 6).
Head to the side of the Art Museum, where you’ll see some flower pots. If you’ve finished Story mode, then some vines will already be here. If not, you can use the farmer to water the plants. Climb the vine and make your way along the handholds on the ceiling and along the wall.
Once you can pull yourself up, slide under the small entryway. Every color swapper you could ever want is here. Head into the elevator.
The elevator takes you to a higher level. Even though there’s a lot of space outside the museum, there’s really nothing to see here. Hop on the two flowers to get onto this awning.
Head to the left across the awnings until you reach a giant fan. Leap into the gust and rise up.
Race up a long series of slopes, then climb a LEGO patch on the far wall. You’ll then be enjoying the view from the top of the Art Museum!
2. Museum of Natural History
The Museum of Natural History is the most notable building in Uptown. It has an enormous and expansive rooftop and two large towers, and offers access to the library even though it’s all the way across town.
To access this museum’s roof, you must first reach the roof of the Art Museum (POI 1). Once there, look for this chicken symbol.
Activate the symbol and then make a long chicken-glide down to the roof of the Museum of Natural History.
3. Docks
Though uptown is full of hustle and bustle, you can usually find a quiet moment to yourself at the docks. And then, when you want to cause a ruckus, check for a dynamite dispenser at the dock house!
4. Apartments
This quiet set of brownstones are located in the middle of uptown. You’ll, of course, want to get onto the roof.
On the south side of the apartments is this blue and white LEGO wall. Climb it and use the handhold above to get a little higher.
There’s another LEGO wall ahead. Bounce off it to reach a high flagpole, then swing to the roof.
Make your way north up the rooftop and hop across some thin poles to reach this catapult pad at the end of the roof. Launch yourself across the street, over to another set of apartments.
Walk the tightrope after you land, and keep heading left.
Hop across a few more thin poles, and before you know it, you’ll reach the end of the apartment rooftops. Nice run.
5. Toy Store
Across from the apartments is a sweet-looking toy store that happens to hold the most important red brick in all of LEGO City. But how to get up to the roof?
Check out the rockets. Those are actually platforms. Use the color swapper at the Art Museum to load up some green paint. Shoot the two lights below the rockets to activate them.
Grab the handhold attached to the toy block and make your way onto the moving rockets.
Jump onto a rocket platform, then ride up to the catwalk above. Now you’re king of the toy store!
6. Library
To reach the library roof, you’ll need to make your way onto the roof of the Museum of Natural History (POI 2). Once there, head toward the west tower.
Climb a drainpipe to find a transporter pad. Use it and you’re teleported to the top of the tower, right onto a chicken symbol.
Activate the chicken symbol and glide over the docks and to the library. It’s a long flight, so don’t look down!
The lengthy chicken-glide doesn’t quite get you to the roof. You land by some statues of LEGO folks reaching up to grasp knowledge. Well, you should reach up too—and get to the handhold above you. Climb the wall and you’ll step right onto a catapult pad, which will launch you to the very top of the library.
