Hang onto your hats! An amazing new kind of LEGO experience is coming our way, and it's not one you'd find in a box at your local toy store. Kids who are happiest knee-deep in LEGOs will rejoice that LEGO LIVE NYC, a first-of-its-kind interactive event, will be coming to our very own lovely city.
Filled with various eye-popping play zones, LEGO LIVE NYC will offer a main stage where families can meet LEGO master builders and learn from super cool live demos, enjoy opportunities to help with communal projects like building iconic NYC skyscrapers, partake in a LEGO Minecraft-inspired building zone and even learn to code with LEGO Boost and heritage LEGO MINDSTORMS toolkits to create a robot. Last but not least, you'll be able to browse a large array of sets for builders of all ages and skill levels.

P.S. From the looks of the promotional materials, it looks like visitors *might* even be able to wade through a sea of blocks. We hope that's the case!
The event will take place February 16–18 at Manhattan's Pier 36. $30, Very Important Guest $45, Very Important Kid $75. Get access here.
