My grandparents went there in the 1980s and I'll have to find their photos to compare the scenes. I think they've avoided NXT because of the need for batteries to keep exhibits running. They should, however, have an exhibit with staffers operating NXT-driven things, which of course includes keeping batteries fresh.

Well, one could run the bricks with the LEGO® accumulator connected to a power outlet, so no need for batteries, at least not for stationary robots.
I remember from my first visit to the new German LEGOLAND at Günzburg some three or four years ago that they had a exhibition of collaborating robots; still RCXs back then, but it was a most interesting showcase, nevertheless.

In my opinion LEGO is squandering a huge marketing opportunity here - imagine how many children (and adults) interested in LEGO® would get in contact with NXT MINDSTORMS that way!
