LEGO Pokémon is headlining the Play Zone for this year’s LEGO Festival, bringing hands-on building and interactive adventures inspired by the beloved gaming franchise. You can explore a hands-on LEGO Pokémon world powered by the all-new LEGO SMART Play system, experience LEGO Pokémon in action before it launches this August, build a tasty snack for your Pokémon, add a SMART tag to see how it reacts, create a LEGO Poké Ball in the Nurture Area, train and battle your Pokémon at the LEGO Pokémon: Trainer Center, and snap a photo with a giant LEGO Pikachu model!

LEGO F1 is the headline experience in the brand-new Thrill Zone. In the LEGO F1 Brick Stop Challenge, families will work together to complete a pit stop tire change against the clock. You can test your speed, communication, and teamwork as you race to complete the challenge around a LEGO F1 car! Or you can experience the pulse of race weekend during the Pit Lane Hype Show, a live entertainment experience inspired by the sounds and energy of Formula 1, where performers use tools, percussion, and snapping bricks to create a rhythm-filled show that transforms the pit lane into an interactive dance party. And in classic LEGO fashion, you can build your own LEGO F1 brick vehicle!
