BACK BY POPULAR DEMAND: Foundation offers another D15 Family Day at LEGOLAND

Once again, if your kids love to build with LEGO bricks, the District Fifteen Educational Foundation has a deal you can’t afford to miss.

Earlier this fall, the District Fifteen Educational Foundation sponsored a wildly successful District 15 Family Day at the LEGOLAND Discover Center. More than 100 families enjoyed an afternoon of LEGO fun by taking advantage of the discounted admission prices offered through the Foundation.

In fact, the event proved so popular that the Foundation is repeating it later this winter.

The Foundation will sponsor its second District 15 Family Day on Sunday, February 13, from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. at the LEGOLAND Discovery Center located at 601 N. Martingale Road in Schaumburg’s Streets of Woodfield shopping center.

For District 15 Family Day, families can purchase LEGOLAND tickets for just $12 per person. Tickets normally cost $15 for children and $19 for adults.

With these discounted tickets, families can take the self-guided tour of the LEGOLAND Discovery Center, which takes approximately two and a half hours. Families can take all the time they need, though, to take photographs and thoroughly enjoy all of LEGOLAND’s attractions, which are geared toward children ages 2 to 12. Highlights of those attractions include:

  • LEGO Factory, where families can see how real LEGO bricks are made;
  • LEGO Studios, where 3D cinema brings LEGO bricks to life;
  • DUPLO Village, where younger builders can play with DUPLO bricks or larger, soft bricks found only at LEGOLAND Discovery Centers;
  • MINILAND, where families can wander through the Chicago Skyline, built to scale with LEGO bricks;
  • Technicycle, where children find out how high they can pedal as they cycle as fast as they can on this fun, new ride;
    • Dragon Quest, where children will climb aboard a friendly dragon for a perilous ride into the depths of the LEGOLAND Discovery Center Castle;
    • Hall of Fame, where families can stroll the red carpet and snap photos with life-size LEGO models of their favorite heroes and villains;
    • Jungle Adventure, where children will encounter all kinds of LEGO creatures on an expedition deep into the heart of the LEGOLAND jungle;
    • Master Model Builder’s Workshop, where children will receive hands-on lessons from the builders responsible for all of the Discovery Center’s creations; and
    • Build & Test Zone, where children can create and play with mountains of LEGO bricks and test them on the Center’s speed ramps and earthquake tables.

A ticket order form can be downloaded from the District 15 website, www.ccsd15.net, (Quick Links > Foundation) and must be submitted with payment by Wednesday, February 9, to the District Fifteen Educational Foundation office located at the Joseph M. Kiszka Educational Service Center, 580 N. 1st Bank Drive in Palatine.
