1. No outside food or drink is allowed (we were not searched but just keep that in mind)
2. Kids meals are around $4 at the Black Angus place - hot dog or chix strips w/ veggies/dip or fries and millk or soft drink. There are Larosas booths and Skyline Chili booths as well as candy/nuts/lemonade/pretzels/nachos, etc. Soft drinks are $3.50 - $4.00.
3. We started in the back and worked our way back to the front. It makes somewhat of a loop so that would be a good way to head through as well. The store is in the back so if you don't have a bag for 'swag' you can shop and get one. Today they did have some of last year's LEGO KidsFest t shirts they were giving away for free.
4. Grab swag! There are LEGO KidsClub Magazines and the LEGO Club JR magazines at the front on the right - be sure to sign up to get these delivered to your home for free!!! They have free posters there as well.
6. Grab Heroica and Friends comic books at their booths. Grab a DUPLO paper hat. My older son LOVED wearing his around all day (and all night after we left! He got soooo much attention at the hotel!)
7. T shirts are $15 - $25, the store has pretty regular prices on everything but some items are on sale, keychains are $5, and they have lots of the new mini figure series for $3.
8. It is CROWDED. Dress your child in something unique if you can.
9. The Theater or Reading Area is a good spot to just relax for a few.
10. In the construction zone if you build something cool find a LEGO worker and they will display it in the special cases around the area.
11. There is a lost child area so teach your kids to identify LEGO workers so those are the folks they go to for help.
12. Be sure to stop by the 'outside vendors' areas (Cincinnati had reps from the zoo, Reds, aquarium, a local blog, and more) Many had their own giveaways and freebies.
13. Jump in on the challenges - a friend's son won a Spongebob LEGO set for building a crabby patty!!
I hope this helps!! Feel free to message me on Facebook with any more questions!!!
Have fun guys!!!
We are going this afternoon but can only spend about 2 hrs. What are must things that must sees/activities. Also, will they let people in early?
ReplyDeleteSorry for the late notice in seeing this!! I hope you had a great time! For those of you with limited time be sure to preview the map and talk with your kids about what their favorites are. The big brick pile and racers were something we can't do at home. We also liked getting the free Ninjago so stopping by the Ninjago build was a must! If you have younger ones the DUPLO pile was really fun! Take a few pics with the statues and skip the local vendors - you're there for the LEGOs!!!
