I received free tickets for my family to attend.
Charlie loves playing with LEGOs. Did you know that’s actually not the correct thing to say? LEGO is the name brand. Kids (and adults) play with LEGO bricks not Legos. Learn something new every day, right? Charlie builds “inventions” with his LEGO bricks, but we wish someone would make an invention that would make them hurt less when we step on them! You know the pain I’m talking about!
Children around the world spend five billion hours a year playing with LEGO bricks! LEGO KidsFest is a hands-on, educational, all-ages LEGO extravaganza features millions of LEGO bricks, not to mention lots of construction zones, dozens of life-sized LEGO models and displays, LEGO Friends, LEGO Chima, LEGO Star Wars, live LEGO Master Builders, and so much more covering three acres of space.

Those who attended the previous show can once again expect hands-on building, creative experiences and one-of-a-kind activities. Children of all ages and builders of all skills and levels are welcome. The show only makes seven North American appearances each year.
“Any family who likes to be inspired, get hands-on and have fun together won’t want to miss LEGO KidsFest,” said Vince Rubino, LEGO events manager. “We’re bringing so many activities for Richmond-area families to showcase their creativity and building skills in what is sure to be a family event to remember.”

August 27, 2014 at 8:36 AMOh this looks like so much fun!! I always loved going into the Toys R Us in Times Square in NYC partly because of the Lego display.
