The LEGO® KidsFest national tour stop at the Greater Richmond Convention Center has now entirely sold out. Covering over 165,000 sq. ft., this national tour brings all of the fun that LEGO has to offer together under one roof.
This is the first stop for the 2013 tour. Tickets, priced at $18 for children and $20 for adults, sold out on Thursday, February 7th just eight days prior to the show. Ticket purchasers are coming from all over the mid-Atlantic; some traveling over ten hours to attend according to ticket reports.
“We’re delighted by the early sell out” said Aaron Wartner, spokesperson for the LEGO KidsFest tour, “and really excited to bring all the interactive hand-on, minds-on fun of the LEGO KidsFest to the greater Richmond area for the very first time!”
Please note there are no tickets available at the door. Next (and closest) 2013 tour stop: Louisville, Kentucky April 5 – 7.
The LEGO KidsFest offers family fun for children of all ages and builders of all skills and interests. Among the many LEGO attractions the event features:
• LEGO Model Gallery: dozens of life-sized models made
entirely from LEGO bricks
