The boys and I conquered the 3 acres of LEGOS and kids last night at Lego KidsFest in Richmond. The last time the kids went, a babysitter took them so this was my first hands on experience. According to the kids, this was a 100% improvement . There were no lines to get in, it was much nicer and larger facility and there were no LEGO prizes for the activities. I must agree, the boys were in LEGO Heaven. I thought I would share some tips for visiting LegoKidsFest.
- I recommend getting there on the early side. Not only are your parking choices better, but there will be shorter lines for the activities.
- Hit the back of the room first as people tend to hover at the attractions closer to the entrance
- Pack a reusable shopping bag in your purse to hold the amazing LEGO prizes the kids collected
- If you don’t plan on bringing home any LEGO Sets, avoid the LEGO Store. It is amazing and you probably won’t leave without buying something
- There is some food concessions, we just played hard then went out to dinner.
- Don’t get wrapped up in the LEGO pit (according to my 8-year-old) this is very tempting and a great place for mom and dad to rest but there are many other amazing stations to see.
- Need a rest, hit the LEGO movie too.
- Visit the LEGO Club tent to sign up for the free magazine and a scavenger hunt.
- Take advantage of the photo booth in LEGO Friends and the Spiderman exhibit.
- HAVE FUN.
LegoKidsFest is not only for boys and girls as well as Adults that love LEGOS. I must admit I enjoyed getting involved in some of the LEGO challenges. There is plenty of places to be creative at your own pace as well as get competitive with other Master Builders.
