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.

Oh 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.
🙂 I will have to think on this. It’s a drive, but would be fun.
I would love to attend this. I missed the one that came to North Carolina last year. this is right up my 16 years old alley.
Wow, that looks like a super fun place!
What a fun event. My kids would have a blast here, such LEGO fans!
Now that looks likes some serious fun. Don’t take off your shoes! Nothin’ worse than stepping on Legos in bare feet!
This sounds like what we were expecting at Brickfair here in Northern Virginia several weeks ago.
This looks like fun.
This looks like a great time! i would love to be able to fit it in my schedule!
looks awesome. I would so be going if it were closer
I am putting this on our calender, hopefully it will come by us so the kids can experience it.
looks like so much fun!
