Children aged 9-12 can participate in basketball activities with friends, accompanied by an adult, and explore their creativity with LEGO basketball modules. Entry to the Play Arena is free on a first-come, first-served basis, with no booking required.
The LEGO and Nike Play Arena will then move to the LEGO Lado Bluewater on September 27th from 9 AM to 6 PM and September 28th from 11 AM to 5 PM, offering the same exciting activities.
currently, it's unconfirmed whether the UK LEGO and Nike Play Arenas will include features seen at similar US events this summer, such as designing custom LEGO athlete cards, building and displaying LEGO mini basketball jerseys, and completing the LEGO 3-point challenge.
