This weekend only, you don't want to miss the first ever Lego Live NYC! event at Pier 36 on the Lower East Side. With over 4.66 million lego bricks there, you can experience hours and hours of building, creating, learning, and more. There is even a "lego pit" where you can wade knee-deep in thousands of bricks. Check it out in this video from our friends at Time Out New York.

Filled with various eye-popping play zones, LEGO LIVE NYC will offer a main stage where families can meet LEGO master builders and learn from super cool live demos, enjoy opportunities to help with communal projects like building iconic NYC skyscrapers, partake in a LEGO Minecraft-inspired building zone and even learn to code with LEGO Boost and heritage LEGO MINDSTORMS toolkits to create a robot.
