Smalls absolutely loves LEGO®. Maybe more than he loves me. And that’s saying a lot. The kid always picks LEGO brick sets as prizes when he visits Texas Children’s Hematology Clinic after his poke and Pentamidine. I’m pretty sure that we have enough LEGO bricks to build a replica of NYC….
At least he comes by it naturally! My brothers and I used to play with LEGO bricks for hours upon hours. We built entire cities in our rooms. It was a fun time, and I am excited for my boys to carry on that tradition.
So when I heard about LEGO KidsFest Austin this summer (which, admittedly, is a bit of a drive, but one of my favorite cities!), I knew that I had to take him. Last year, he wasn’t able to celebrate his birthday beyond a few cupcakes. I want this year to be special.
From September 4-6, 2015, LEGO KidsFest will bring all of the creative hands-on, minds-on fun of LEGO building and experiences together in one activity-and entertainment-packed family event for children of all ages, and builders of all skills and interests.
If you’ve never been to a LEGO exhibit, you’re seriously missing out. At LEGO KidsFest, there are quite literally three whole acres of LEGO themes:
- LEGO Mindstorms
- LEGO Movie
- LEGO Disney Princess
- The Mixels
- LEGO Superheros
As if that weren’t enough, there are lots of things to DO, as well:
- LEGO Model Museum (we got to see a version of this at the Henry Ford and it was AMAZING!)
- Race Ramps
- Creation Nation
- Construction Zone
- LEGO DUPLO®
- The Big Brick Pile
- LEGO Ninjago
LEGO KidsFest Austin is going to be hosted at the Austin Convention Center, which is a great space:
Austin Convention Center

LEGO KidsFest seems like it’s going to be awesome! I’m 23 and STILL love building LEGO sets (it’s so relaxing, especially when you’re stressed!) I’ve never been to a LEGO exhibit but I’ve been to LEGOland <3
I love LEGO, too!!
I would LOVE to visit LEGO WORLD as looks like it would be heaps of fun! I think this would appeals to children of all ages!
This sounds like it would be really fun to attend! I do not live near Texas (I’m in NY) and don’t plan on going there so I guess I will miss out. Maybe it will come to a place near me soon!
It travels, so quite possibly!
This is such a fun event! I would love to go, but am too far to get to this one. Still, I will keep an eye out (ahem, lego people you should come to the Buffalo area).
I will definitely let them know! 🙂
My kids are still in the Duplo stage, but we love them! Looks like such great time for the kiddos!
My son wasn’t too keen on DUPLO, but once he had a crack at “real” LEGO bricks, he was in love 🙂
My kids love Lego. Every time we buy them toys, Lego sets are definitely included. I would love to win this for them.
LEGO is awesome. My son plays for HOURS! 🙂
Lego Kidsfest sounds like such a great time for the family. That would be a really fun trip!
I think that it’s going to be a blast!
Whaaaat! This sounds so awesome. I would have had so much fun as a kid (or now :P).
Right?! I am not sure who is more excited….
Lego Kidfest are always awesome! I haven’t encountered a kid that doesn’t love Lego!
Or an adult! LOL
Omg Lego fest sounds like a total blast! My daughter would love to attend this. My sister lives in Austin too so we could totally go!
Enter the contest!! It should be an amazing experience!! We’re driving all the way from Houston!
I was at the Lego store in Downtown Disney years ago. This looks like fun, the Spiderman is neat!
I’ve always wanted to be a LEGO creator! Such a cool job!
I was never into lego’s when I when I was a kid but I did enjoy watching other people create different things with them still do.
It’s awesome to watch some of the talent that people have, isn’t it?
I went to one in Detroit once and it was pretty amazing. I would love to go back. It’s def. an all day event.
Detroit has some pretty awesome spots.
Wow this looks like it would be an amazing event to attend! If only we lived closer, I would totally be there!
It travels, so maybe it will be near you soon!
My other half loves Lego, our son is just getting into it. We’d love to go to an exhibition like this our Lego Land one day 🙂
That would be fun!
I’m a teacher, and many of my students absolutely love legos! I should tell them about this.
Yes!!
