LEGO® KidsFest Dallas Review Part 1 of 3

by Leave a Comment

This is a sponsored post from LEGO® LEGO KidsFest photo

We had an excellent time at LEGO®KidsFest Dallas!

Even though this is a sponsored post, if we had attended without any incentive, you would still be reading the SAME review.  

We showed up around 6pm Friday evening. The event started earlier but due to my husbands job we could not get there until 6pm . We wished we would have had the extra couple of hours, but we enjoyed every minute!

Kids woke up Saturday morning, and the first thing the youngest asked was, “Can we please go back to KidsFest!”

20140829_194012
He enjoyed the Challenge Area the most. This was his train w/out wheels! Don’t miss it if you get there, surprise award for meeting the challenge!

 

More posts to show you all the fun offered to come soon! If you have a chance, get on line now and see if there are any tickets left for Sunday, August 31, 2014 events!    

www. legokidsfest.com/dallas.

Will be a wonderful adventure in learning and creativity for the whole family!

FYI: Plan extra cash for food and drink as outside food and drink is not allowed.  Just an example:  bottle of brand name bottled water cost is $3.50. They have a wonderful variety of foods, treats, ice-cream for all tastes!  Just be prepared, it was about $30 for 4 drinks, and two large sandwiches for our family.
