Things to do in Houston: LEGO pop
HOUSTON, Texas -- A new touring event coming to Houston mixes America's love for LEGOs and the growing popularity of soccer, especially with the Women's World Cup.
Play Unstoppablehits Houston promising a "play stadium experience" for fans from Friday, Aug. 18 through Sunday, Aug. 20 at the Heights-area Silver Street Studios at 2000 Edwards St. The free event boasts 6,500 square feet of play space, digital interactions, games, LEGO brick-building activities, and IG-worthy photo opps. Kids aged 6 and older are encouraged to attend, especially young girls, and traverse various play zones.
Based on high expected demand, those interested should pre-register and reserve time slots.
Participants will receive an RFID wristband that unlocks LEGO-themed surprises as they explore, build (of course), and play their way through the several play zones. Later, players can add a LEGO mini-figure likeness of themselves to the ranks of LEGO's Team Unstoppable.
A little about those interactive zones: here's what visitors can expect.
Sports Play Zone
Ready for some football? Here, players can step onto the turf and kick a soccer ball into a gigantic goal. Rock a perfect victory pose with the larger-than-life LEGO brick trophy for that IG story.
Icons of Play
In another nod to the Women's World Cup, players can meet some inspiring female soccer icons: Megan Rapinoe, Sam Kerr, Asisat Oshoala, and Yuki Nagasato.
Art Play Zone
Inspired artists can skip those standard LEGO instructions and instead create their own unique brick designs to a free-building room that promises to be a show stopper.
