I am very excited to announce that LEGO® KidsFest is returning to Houston! My kids and I had the opportunity to go three years ago and we had an AMAZING time! There were truly activities for our entire family to enjoy!
What is LEGO KidsFest?
If you haven’t been before, the LEGO® KidsFest is a traveling LEGO® extravaganza featuring millions of LEGO® bricks and dozens of hands-on, educational, and fun building activities for all ages. It features dozens of life-sized LEGO® models and displays, LEGO® building areas, the Big Brick Pile, race ramps and more, all covering more than three acres of space. The brick pile and displays were favorites for my family when we went three years ago. My kids have grown a lot since then, so I can’t wait to see what their favorites are now!
When is LEGO® KidsFest?
The award-winning LEGO® KidsFest Texas returns to Houston’s NRG Center from Oct. 21 – 23, 2016. Once again, show-goers can enjoy the LEGO® Model Museum, Race Ramps, Creation Nation, Construction Zone, LEGO® DUPLO, LEGO® Retail store and LEGO® KidsFest Marketplace, the Big BrickPile, LEGO® Ninjago and more.
