Free Ghost Street Make & Take at LEGO Stores This Weekend

Got a free hour or two this weekend and a child who'll happily sit and build? LEGO Brand Stores are running a Ghost Street Make & Take event this weekend, and it costs nothing to join in. Most US and Canadian stores are hosting it from 12pm until 2pm local time. The listing gives the date as Saturday 25 October, but the 25th is a Sunday, so check your store's event page for the day. Turn up, build something spooky, take it home. First come, first served - so worth arriving early if you know your local store gets busy.

A few locations are doing things slightly differently. University Place and NorthPark Center moved theirs to Friday 23 October, 5pm until 8pm. Crocker Park runs on Saturday 24 October, 12pm until 3pm, and Garden State in Paramus, NJ goes Saturday 24 October, 12pm until 2pm. CF Toronto Eaton Centre isn't hosting the Make & Take at all - there's a grand opening on instead, which sounds like it might be worth a trip in its own right.

Alongside the Make & Take, there's a Scavenger Hunt running from 24 until 31 October. Hidden scary creature builds are dotted around the store, and finding them earns you a treat - though supplies won't stretch the full week at busier locations.

These Make & Take events are reliably good for kids. The build is always small and quick enough to hold younger attention spans. Worth checking the LEGO Store website to confirm your nearest location's timing before heading out.
