While the “Art of the Brick” LEGO expo is only open for a couple more days, there is a new, albeit much more traditional, expo of the world’s most popular toy in Ülemiste City by the airport. “Ülemiste BrickExpo” features more than a hundred sets consisting of well over a hundred thousand bricks. These are actual sets that are or have been available for purchase.

The sets on display consist of current and nostalgic sets. The cityscape format lets visitors see an entire city made of LEGOs, with a Disney theme, a haunted house, and even Indiana Jones-themed sets. Holidays houses covered in snow with Santa and his reindeer in the front yard, a hot-air balloon, life-size Mario figurines from Nintendo’s popular games, and even the famous Ecto-1 from “Ghostbusters”…this expo has it all. Well, maybe not all, but a lot of what LEGO has to offer.

If you’ve ever wondered how strange it would be to see a TIE fighter from “Star Wars” right next to the Great Pyramid of Giza, or a skyscraper overshadowing the Roman Colosseum, or a LEGO clock on the wall, go to Lõõtsa 2a, the Puusepp building, in Ülemiste City. The Ülemiste BrickExpo is open daily from 9:00 to 18:00, and is for children from three years old to a hundred and three years old.

This expo has been created by two CEOs: the developer of Ülemiste City, and the company responsible for its maintenance. Both want to share their love of building, and are avid LEGO enthusiasts. Some of the sets on display are their own originals as well, for example the Mario figurines.

Parents can also let their children play in the “creative area” while they relax in the lounge. Regular LEGOs, Duplo blocks, and giant rubber blocks are available for children to mess around with. Don’t forget to bring your phone as well, so you can take part in the mobile-based game that has you search for specific items at the expo, and compete for a special prize.

More information as well as tickets are available here.
