My boys get LEGO® Club Magazine. They received a postcard in the mail about LEGO® KIDSFEST coming to Pittburgh in June. I ready myself for the “Mommy can we go PLLLEEAASSEE!” Predictably I hear those very words. My boys are big LEGO fans. In fact at Christmas my 7 year old’s list was basically a LEGO wishlist.
My thought was, “What is there to do at LEGO® KIDSFEST?” As I found out, the answer is, plenty.
–Explore the LEGO Model Gallery where there will be 40 life size models made up completely of LEGO bricks.
–LEGO master builders (yea the guys who get paid to play with LEGOs) will be sharing tips, tricks, and giving live demonstrations
–Help build a piece of a giant mystery mural to help reveal the image
–build your own LEGO car and race it down a ramp. Race against friends and family
–Play LEGO board games in the LEGO games arena
–Build whatever you like in the LEGO Construction Zone
–Don’t worry the littlest LEGO fans aren’t left out (thank goodness for my soon to be 2 yr old) there’s a “LEGO DUPLO Jams” area for toddlers to explore and build all while listening to fun playroom tunes.
LEGO® KIDSFEST will cover over 175,000 sq feet of fun. LEGO® KIDSFEST usually sells out so it’s best to get your tickets soon. Adult tickets are $20 and kids are $18. Kids under 2 years old are free.
