Start Heading to Phoenix – It’s LEGO KidsFest Time!! 15

My son is a LEGO fanatic – he builds all kinds of things and has loved these toys for many years.  We’ve never been able to go to a KidsFest before, have you?  If so, what was it like – leave a comment below.  I told him that we might be able to plan to go to the one in Phoenix in February and his eyes lit up and he said “start writing about it”.  He said his friends would love it, he would love it and he definitely wants to go!!

Here are some of the creations that he has made:

The LEGO® KidsFest kicks off its seventh year on the road with a stop in Phoenix in February, 2015.  The award-winning LEGO KidsFest will feature new activities, popular favorites featured in interactive event running from Feb. 27 – March 1, 2015 at Glendale’s University of Phoenix Stadium.

Those who attended the previous show can once again expect hands-on building, creative experiences and one-of-a-kind activities. Children of all ages and builders of all skills and levels are welcome.

LEGO KidsFest features dozens of new activities and popular favorites on the three-acre show floor.

New activities for this year’s visit include LEGO Mindstorms, LEGO Movie, LEGO Fusion, LEGO Disney Princess, the Mixels, a LEGO Superheroes area and more.

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 Brick Pile, LEGO Ninjago and more.

“We’re thrilled to be returning to the Phoenix area,” said Vince Rubino, LEGO Events Manager. “We’ve got a host of new activities as well as some areas we know are very popular with our fans. Not only will families create some new memories at the show, they’ll get another chance to flex and showcase their building skills.”

Five identical sessions are available for the three-day tour stop. LEGO KidsFest tickets are $22.50 for adults and $19.50 for children and can be purchased online at http://www.legokidsfest.com.

Tickets generally sell out and attendance averages 27,000 visitors at each venue. To date, more than 700,000 have enjoyed more than 35 LEGO KidsFest shows. In 2014, the tour made its first stop in Alberta, Canada, selling out a week before the show.

In 2013, LEGO KidsFest was awarded Best Proprietary Event by Event Marketer Magazine. LEGO KidsFest is managed by BuzzEngine, an event and marketing agency.

LEGO FUN FACTS:

 

Laid end to end, the number of LEGO® bricks sold in a year would reach more than five times around the world.

 

LEGO® is the contraction of two Danish words, “leg godt” which means “play well”.

 

By 2020, LEGO’s aim is to make sure that 100% of its energy will be balanced by renewable energy sources.

In its seventh year of touring, LEGO KidsFest is visiting a few less markets this year to focus on its new LEGO Creativity Tour.

“With the pilot of the LEGO Creativity Tour in Biloxi, Mississippi in December, we expect to be sharing some news about new tour dates early next year,” said Vince Rubino, Events Manager for LEGO Systems, Inc.

“Right now through year’s end, our focus is on testing new concepts and continuing to deliver an amazing and fun-filled LEGO experience for families around the country.”

Covering more than three acres of space, the LEGO KidsFest extravaganza brings all of the hands-on, minds-on fun of LEGO building and experience together in an activity-filled event for all ages and builders of all skills.
