My 4-year-old is very into LEGO, and has in the past spent most of a couple of
days studying layouts by the NILTC and neighboring clubs. I’m planning to go to
BrickFest, so my question is: should I bring my 4-year-old?
I’m sure he’d enjoy looking at the layouts, but from reading the event schedule,
it sounds like a lot of stuff which would be interesting to me but boring to him
(talks from LEGO bigwigs, building competitions he can’t participate in, etc.).
I haven’t been to BrickFest before, but I gather that it’s really geared towards
ALEs – the schedule even mentions a special session for enthusiasts aged 12-17,
which rather implies that participants under 12 aren’t expected.
Should I leave my son at home? Bring him just to the Sunday general admission?
Or give him the full weekend?
Many thanks,
– Joe
