Be still my Lego loving heart! It’s been a fun year around our house with Alivia starting to really show an interest in creating with all this Lego I’ve been stockpiling since she was born. Growing up, Lego was hands down my favourite activity and I remember having a Rubbermaid full of bricks and building everything from cities, roads, full houses (including furniture) and so much more! To finally see Alivia creating and joining in my love for Lego is amazing!
This year, the first ever LEGO® Imagine Nation Tour was announced and excitement is building all across the country. With this 2.5 acre interactive experience visiting five major cities across the nation from now until October, this brick-building extravaganza is the largest LEGO building event to ever hit Canada! Whether you house a master builder or a novice, The LEGO Imagination Tour is sure to ignite a passion to create, and bring out the kid in you!
This Tour combines all of the hands-on fun of LEGO building with exclusive interactive digital experiences and rare Master Builder meet-and-greets, offering something for builders of all ages, interests, and building ability.
Each LEGO Imagine Nation Tour is just three days long and stops in the following cities:
- August 12-14: Montréal | Palais des Congrѐs de Montréal
- September 9-11: Calgary | BMO Centre
- September 30-October 2: Vancouver | Vancouver Convention Centre
- October 14-16: Toronto | Metro Toronto Convention Centre
“The LEGO Imagine Nation Tour is an exciting chance for families across Canada to immerse themselves in a newly designed LEGO experience that combines everything that today’s kids love about physical play and digital entertainment,” said Michael McNally, senior director, brand relations for LEGO Systems. “From one-of-a-kind life-sized LEGO models to the rare opportunity to build with and learn from a LEGO Master Builder, wrapped in an interactive digital experience that guides the fun, our event offers Canadian families a chance to experience the LEGO brand like never before.”
Families can explore 13 different pavilions and 20 stunning life-sized LEGO models at each tour stop. Age-appropriate brick building, digital fun and other activities will keep even the youngest builders entertained.
Activities include:
- Master Builder Lab: learn building tips and tricks from one of only eight Master Builders in the world
- Creation Nation: add a custom LEGO creation to help create a 40-foot maple leaf mosaic
