LEGOs, LEGOs, Everywhere…BrickFair Comes to Washington, DC

What can you make out of a huge pile of LEGOs building bricks?  Just about anything!!

With 400 billion LEGO pieces created since the LEGO company opened in 1949, that’s roughly 70 LEGO pieces for every person on the planet. 

And if you thought the colorful little building bricks were for just for kids, check out BrickFair, the annual LEGO show that lets LEGO collectors, builders and AFOLs (Adult Fans Of LEGOs), showcase their biggest, best and most unique LEGO creations. 

Tour 12,000 square feet of original LEGO brick creations from tiny toys to a massively large LEGO structures and perhaps even a life-sized comic book superhero.

Kids can build their own creation in the “Stay-n-Play” room filled with huge piles of LEGO bricks. 

And you thought the kid’s play area at home was a mess!!
