Do you have an NLSO (non-Lego significant other)? Do you have kids that need more to do than look at Lego over a warm summer weekend?

Do you want to attend Brickworld, but are afraid you might be trapped at a hotel, stuck with the hotel restaurants and nothing for your family to do?

We have good news for you!! We have gathered together information on surrounding attractions and nearby eating establishments. We want to share this information with you.
