Visit the Trendy LEGOLAND® Discovery Center Dallas/Fort Worth for the Minifigure Birthday Bash!

If you have a little LEGO lover in your family, they will be over-the-moon when they learn about the celebrations that LEGOLAND® Discovery Center Dallas/Fort Worth has planned for the 40^th anniversary of the LEGO Minifigure!  

Let me share a little history. In 1978, LEGO® introduced its first Minifigure - the Police Officer - to its brick construction sets. Since then, LEGO has produced more than 1,000,000,000 Minifigures over the years.  The LEGO Minifigures have been an iconic part of  childhoods for many years!

LEGOLAND® Discovery Center Dallas/Fort Worth is celebrating the 40^th anniversary of the LEGO Minifigure by throwing a totally awesome party. Here are the most important details to paste into your calendar:

• What: The LEGO Bricktacular Two-Weekend Celebration 
• When: June 23–24 and June 30–July 1. 
• Where: LEGOLAND® Discovery Center Dallas/Fort Worth (Click here for a map. Phone: 469-444-3050) 

The bricktastic birthday bash will be filled to the brim with all things Minifigures – even all 17 of the brand-new exclusive LEGO® Party Series Minifigures will be making an appearance.

Kicking off the weekend on Thursday, June 21 is a super-sized Mini BrickFactor build-off competition.  (This is free and open to the public.) The build-off takes place in front of the attraction just inside Grapevine Mills.  Kids ages 5 to 15 can enter to show off their creative building skills for a chance to win a one-day apprenticeship with the LEGOLAND® Discovery Center Master Model Builder.  The competition takes place in two rounds ­– 

• Mini division (ages 5 to 9) from 9 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. and 
• Junior division (ages 10 to 15) from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. 

Pre-registration is required by June 15, to sign-up visit here.

The bricktacular two-weekend celebration will be bursting with activities that include*: 

• LEGO® costume character disco dance party (every two hours)
• Bring a Minifigure from home to participate in super-mega Minifigure trading
• Take on the supersized birthday scavenger hunt to find all 17 of the brand-new exclusive    LEGO® Party Series Minifigures hiding in MINILAND
