Who doesn’t love playing with Lego’s? I mean you can sit down with… or without your kids and just create things for hours! Houses, cars, elaborate mansions, and all sorts of things. Seriously, they will occupy all of my of my kids from the oldest to the youngest and even my husband!
So what’s a mom to do on a cold fall day who’s looking for something new to do with her family?
Lego KidFest of course!
Lego KidsFest! October 12 – 14 in Novi, Michigan!
The LEGO KidsFest is a giant traveling LEGO expo coming to the Suburban Collection Showplace, a mere 30 minutes from downtown Detroit, October 12 – 14, 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.
I am looking forward to going and spending a few hours building all sorts of crazy creations! It’ll be a tie who gets the toddler & who gets to explore with the older kids though… maybe we’ll have to trade on and off! If you’re thinking of going you should probably get your tickets early because they tend to sell out pretty fast! There are 5 sessions that are all exactly the same.
Friday, October 12
4 pm – 8:30 pm
Saturday, October 13
Session I: 9 am – 1:30 pm
Session II: 3 pm – 7:30 pm
Sunday, October 14
Session I: 9 am – 1:30 pm
Session II: 3 pm – 7:30 pm
