Brickworld Tampa is Coming November 19th and 20th!

October 26, 2016
Brickworld® is excited to be bringing the premiere North American LEGO® display and exposition back to the Florida State Fairgrounds to fill 40,000 square feet with displays made of LEGO bricks, interactive activities and vendors selling LEGO kits, parts and compatible accessories. When asked how he would describe Brickworld events to someone that hasn’t attended, Executive Director and LEGO fan, Bryan Bonahoom, said “There is something amazing to see and fun to do for kids and adults. The imagination and engineering of these displays is always inspiring.” Brickworld displays include trains, robots, cityscapes, space stations, and much more. Bryan also added “Brickworld is different than LEGOLAND®. The LEGO creations are much more detailed because they don’t have to withstand the weather like the displays at LEGOLAND. Brickworld displays are all labors of love done by enthusiasts that spare no effort to include every possible detail.”




Brickworld showcases many local LEGO artists and engineers from the state of Florida through a partnership with the Greater Florida LEGO Train Club and the Orange County LEGO User Group. There are also displays coming from as far away as Toronto, Canada and Minneapolis, MN, including a 500,000 piece, 26 foot long model of the battleship USS Missouri. These displays are invited because they are crowd favorites and award winning creations from other Brickworld events.





Brickworld Tampa will be held on November 19 and 20, 2016 at the Special Events Building on the Florida State Fairgrounds (enter off of MLK). Hours are 10 AM to 6 PM on Saturday and 10 AM to 5 PM on Sunday.

Admission is $12, under 3 are free. We are also pleased to honor our active duty and reserve service men and women with a discounted $9 adult ticket (military ID required). Tickets available at the door (cash or credit) or online via the Brickworld web site at http://brickworld.com.
