The 2015 tour stops include Phoenix, AZ (Feb. 27 – March 1 at the University of Phoenix Stadium), St. Louis, MO (March 20 – 22 at America’s Center and Edward Jones Dome), Nashville, TN (April 17 – 19 at the Music City Center) and Austin, TX (Sept. 4 – 6 at the Austin Convention Center).

LEGO KidsFest is visiting a few less markets this year to focus on its new LEGO Creativity Tour.

“With the pilot of the LEGO Creativity Tour in Biloxi, Mississippi this December, we expect to be sharing some news about new tour dates early next year,” said Vince Rubino, Events Manager for LEGO Systems, Inc.

“Right now through year’s end, our focus is on testing new concepts and continuing to deliver an amazing, fun-filled LEGO experience for families around the country.”

Covering three acres of space, the LEGO KidsFest extravaganza brings all of the hands-on, minds-on fun of LEGO building and experience together in an activity-filled event for all ages and builders of all skills.

Five sessions — all identical and 4½ half hours in length — are held at each tour stop. There’s more information at www.LEGOkidsfest.com.

On tour since 2009, previous LEGO KidsFest tour stops have included cities such as Chicago, Boston, Dallas, Atlanta, San Jose, Cleveland, Richmond, Phoenix and more. Tickets generally sell out and attendance averages visitors at each venue.
