1. Lego Imagine Nation Tour

It?s going to be brick city for three days at the EY Centre, which is Ottawa?s stop on the Lego Imagine Nation Tour. It?s a Lego lover?s dream: Kids will be able to jump in and build whatever their hearts desire in the Brick Pit (which is filled with thousands of bricks), get some tips from a Master Model Builder in the Master Builder Lab, try out new Lego video games, take their pictures with 20 life-sized models built out of Lego (including an eight-foot-tall Avengers model) and build a pre-set model, scan it into a gaming experience and play with it! And that?s just a taste of what?s available for Lego fans. Tickets for each session (there are five times to visit over the tour stop) are $28.50. There will also be a lounge area to eat in if you?d like to bring your own meals and snacks.   When: June 10 to 12
