The Event

The Displays

On Sunday, September 1, 2013, I went to LEGO KidsFest. The LEGO KidsFest is a nationally-traveling giant LEGO expo held over 3 days and filled with interactive, creative and educational activities for the whole family. I went as a media reporter.

We went to the LEGO Art Gallery and made 3 Panels that said "Bay Area Gamers." I recommend doing that as your last event. There was also a large screen with the premiere of LEGO Star Wars: The Yoda Chronicles. I will definitely watch it and post any new activity on the website because it looks cool. I will also be looking out for the Game. Other Cool events were the Giant Pile, the Hero Factory and Master Builder Academy.

My Favorite was the Nation Builder Activity. They built a GIANT CITY MADE OF LEGOS!!! I made a "K" Landing pad. I liked building a piece of an actual city. My least favorite part of the day was the pictures my Mom made me take... Overall, I thought the presentations and the displays at Lego KidsFest were cool.

Here's my favorite Display. It's Darth Maul and looked so real, it looked like it was punching me!

The next LEGO KidsFest Events are in Portland Oregon and New England. I highly recommend going because its a lot of fun.

Sounds like a blast! Have you ever been to Legoland in Carlsbad, CA? I wonder if the LEGO KidsFest is a traveling version of that attraction . . . looks like you had a blast!

Since you are a media reporter, does that mean you can you get some HUGE discounts on lego packages. If Yes, I want to get one for my Godson in Mexico City. If No, Please make sure I get an invitation for next years event so I can go and buy some. --> Ever Forward
