Fort Greene-Clinton Hill: If Your Kids Love LEGOs, Brick Fest is a Must This Weekend

DOWNTOWN BROOKLYN, BROOKLYN — For anyone who's ever wanted to swim in a giant pool of green legos, Brick Fest Live in Brooklyn is for you.

A LEGO Holiday Experience presented by Brick Fest Live stretches through this whole weekend and ends Sunday, so hurry and get your tickets before they sell out. It's the best way to get your kids to love you... well, for a few hours, at least.

The three-day event features a Brick Fest Derby, where you can build and race LEGO cars you build yourself on derby ramps they provide, as well as a large-scale mystery floor mosaic that everyone builds together out of LEGOs. LEGO life-size cities are there for kids to imagine custom LEGO creations and add them to the bustling LEGO societies. There's also a video game arena where kids and their families can play LEGO video games together.

BKLYNER took some fantastic pics of the lego pool, if you need a preview of the excitement.

Purchase tickets here for $12 on Friday and Sunday and $15 on Saturday. Children under 2 are free.

The Brick Fest Live takes place this weekend at City Point Downtown Brooklyn, 445 Albee Square West

Hours are Friday, Dec. 16 5 p.m. - 9 p.m.; Saturday, Dec. 17, 10 a.m.-9 p.m.; and Sunday, Dec. 18, 10 a.m.-6 p.m.
