(...) My 4-year-old may be unusual; at a NILTC show last year, he spent about 6 hours on Saturday (with a break for lunch) and another 3 hours on Sunday studying the layouts. So did I, for that matter – there was a lot to see. But your point may be (...) (19 years ago, 14-Jul-05, to lugnet.events.brickfest, FTX)

Joe, I've been to BrickFest several times. I wouldn't take my 4 1/2 yr old son, mostly because I know even though he loves LEGO, three days is too much for him.
