When my kids found out about LEGO® KidsFest coming to Cincinnati, the excitement in our home hit a high note. We have LEGO bricks everywhere — I doubt there’s a single room in our home without a LEGO or two found somewhere in them. Christmas was a LEGO Christmas this past year: we got the Guggenheim and some Star Wars sets and I was given a LEGO Keychain of Chewbacca (what Mom doesn’t need one of these?)
This event is something you will definitely want to put on your calendar.
The LEGO KidsFest is a giant traveling LEGO expo coming to Cincinnati’s Duke Energy Convention Center March 23 – 25, 2012. This 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 Ninjago and LEGO Games, group builds such as Creation Nation, live LEGO Master Builders, and so much more covering three acres of space.
Five identical Sessions are available. Tickets are $18 for kids and $20 for adults. Here’s some information on what to expect:
• LEGO Model Gallery: 40 life-sized models made entirely from LEGO bricks
• LEGO Master Builders: live demonstrations and activities from the crew who get paid to play
• Creation Nation: build your own creation to add to a custom map of the U.S.
• Race Ramps: build your own custom car, then race it down the ramp against friends and family
• LEGO Games Arena: roll the dice to play LEGO board games
• Construction Zones: creative free build, play and display areas
• LEGO DUPLO®: younger visitors can explore imagination through building
• LEGO Retail and KidsFest Marketplace: purchase LEGO merchandise and official KidsFest tour goods
• Brick Pile: a gigantic pile full of LEGO bricks for creative play and enjoyment
• Monochromatic Builds: bricks of a single color to foster group creativity
• Brickscapes: fantastic displays that combine lots of LEGO and DUPLO sets
• And much more, covering over 150,000 square feet of space
Disclosure: In exchange for helping spread the word about LEGO KidsFest, organizers have offered me tickets to take my family. Even if they hadn’t, we would be going. Yes, it looks that COOL!
