My family and I had the opportunity to attend the LEGO KidsFest last night at McCormick Place and we all had a fun time! If you like to play with LEGOs or have someone at home that does, you will truly enjoy the experience.
Right away when we came in, we were greeted with a program outlining the events and booths they have set up there. There is also a coupon for $5 off a $50 purchase at the LEGO stores in the Chicagoland area. There is also a coupon for a FREE Child Admission with Paid Adult Admission for LEGOLAND Discovery Center in Schaumburg, IL. There is a coupon for a FREE Child Ticket with Paid Adult Ticket to LEGOLAND California and your choice of LEGOLAND Water Park or SEA LIFE Aquarium (great to use if you are planning a trip out there). Plus, if you visit the LEGOLAND booth, you'll have a chance to win a trip to LEGOLAND California Resort.
There is a lot of activities at the LEGO KidsFest to keep you and your children busy during your time there. There's many different stations where you can build your own creations. At the LEGO Club booth, you can sign up for a FREE subscription to their magazine that they send out six times a year. My boys participated in a Tall Tower building competition at the LEGO Activity Theater. One of my sons was on the winning team and won a LEGO set and my other son won a LEGO key chain.
As you walk around, there are plenty of examples of what LEGO can be used for - from the intricate designs they have at the Model Museum to the LEGO Robotics that were designed by students, you will be awed. They also have LEGO hobbyists who are showcasing their talents there. In between all of those activities, your kids can play in some inflatable bouncers they have in different areas of the LEGO KidsFest.
Don't forget that if you attend the afternoon session tomorrow and your kids are dressed in their costumes, they will have treats and LEGO Halloween-themed activities. You can purchase your tickets in advance on the LEGO KidsFest website.

Thats awesome! I bet my boys would have liked it!
ReplyDeleteWe had a great time, too. Lots to do, well-organized, not too crowded. Expensive, but in the end worth the money. I read some very bad reviews of the Boston event, and sounds like they made improvements here in Chicago, including not charging extra for some of the individual activities. Recommend it for your little Lego friends!
