If you are looking for something fun to do with the whole family, hopefully you purchased your tickets for the 2016 Cleveland LEGO® Kidsfest early, because all sessions are completely sold out, and for good reason. The LEGO Kidsfest Cleveland has not been back in town since 2011. Therefore, we were due for a return of this family friendly event.

The LEGO Kidsfest is specifically designed for kid level builders. Throughout the entire show floor are tons of areas for kids of all ages to build various builds. There are specific areas to just build Ninjago, or LEGO Friends, or build in only purple blocks. Kids also have the chance to make custom builds that get displayed on walls or there is a complete outline of the United States where builds are displayed from throughout the event.

While we did not take part in them, be sure to take part in some of the zones where there are specific challenges, as kids get to take home LEGO sets for participating.

One of our favorite areas is looking at all the lifesize figures made entirely out of LEGO. The mastery is quite amazing!

Legoland California 5 Days for the Price of One

Avoid Disneyland Price Hike, Head to Legoland California

Our family loves Disney, and specifically Disneyland probably more than the average family. So while most people are disgusted by Disney’s recent price hike, we can understand why they do it. Lets be honest, if the parks were not packed everyday, supply and demand would keep the price in check. However, so long as they keep the turnstiles rotating, they will keep increasing the price of admission.

For those having a hard time swallowing an expensive trip to Disneyland, guests should consider hearing elsewhere, like to Knott’s Berry Farm or Legoland California.

Legoland California is currently offering a FANTASTIC sale on admission. Purchase a 1 day admission park hopper ticket, Adults (ages 13+): $109, Children (ages 3-12): $103, and get four (4) days FREE!

Your 5 day resort hopper ticket can be used at Legoland California, Sea Life Aquarium, and Legoland Water Park.

Link: Buy 1 Day, Get 4 Free
