Quite possibly the most beloved toy of all time, the rainbow-coloured, interlocking plastic bricks known as LEGO have become a staple in the homes of families across the world – and it’s not just the kids who are obsessing over the pint-sized stackables!

This Fall, LEGO lovers won’t want to miss out on the first-ever LEGO Imagine Nation Tour, scheduled to stop in Vancouver from September 30th – October 2nd at the Vancouver Convention Centre.  This epic, awe-inpsiring LEGO extravaganza will allow families to immerse themselves in interactive games, snap photos with life-sized LEGO models, and bond over brick-building challenges as they explore over 2.5 acres of LEGO fun! Here are just 5 reasons to check out this event next weekend.
