There's big, and then there's BIG. And when we're talking about Lego, we mean REALLY big. Have you and your kids always wanted to travel to LegoLand in San Diego? Does your child dream of the big Lego® store at Disney World?

No need to drop your hard-earned cash traveling to those places, because Lego KidsFest is coming BACK to Pittsburgh November 30-December 2, and you have GOT to see it to believe it! It's at the David L. Lawrence Convention Center, and all things Lego® (and more) will be covering 175,000 square feet of space. Five sessions are available throughout that weekend--and discounted tickets are available through Mac Kid right now! Keep reading!

The LEGO® KidsFest national tour stops at Pittsburgh’s David L. Lawrence Convention Center November 30 – December 2, 2012, bringing all of the creative hands-on, minds-on fun of LEGO building and experiences together in this three acre activity- and entertainment-packed family event for children of all ages and builders of all skills and interests. If you attended LEGO KidsFest last year, come back for more LEGO fun! They've added lots of all-new attractions!

Among the many LEGO attractions, families will find:

  • LEGO Model Gallery: dozens of life-sized models made entirely from LEGO bricks
  • LEGO Master Builders: live demonstrations and activities from the crew who get paid to play
  • Creation Nation: build your own creation to add to a custom map of the U.S.
  • Race Ramps: build your own custom car, then race it down the ramp against friends and family
  • LEGO Games Arena: roll the dice to play LEGO board games
  • Construction Zones: creative free build, play and display areas
  • LEGO DUPLO®: younger visitors can explore imagination through building
  • LEGO Retail and KidsFest Marketplace: purchase LEGO merchandise and official KidsFest tour goods
  • Brick Pile: a gigantic pile full of LEGO bricks for creative play and enjoyment
  • Monochromatic Builds: bricks of a single color to foster group creativity
  • Brickscapes: fantastic displays that combine lots of LEGO and DUPLO sets
  • And much more, covering over 150,000 square feet of space

“Any family who likes to be inspired, get hands-on and have fun together won’t want to miss LEGO KidsFest,” said Vince Rubino, LEGO events manager. “We’re bringing so many activities for Pittsburgh-area families to test and showcase their creativity and building skills in what is sure to be a family event to remember.”
