Lego FAQs

This page has some additional information specifically for our Lego parties. If the information you were looking for isn't here you can try looking on our general FAQ page or contact our office with your questions.

Where are these parties held?

Lego are best held in indoor locations. They can be held at your home (lounge rooms and garages can make great party rooms) or a hired hall. If you need help finding a hall to hire in your area, we recommend trying Scouts Australia as your first step. You can find a link to their website on our Links page. If they can't help you can try calling the office and we might know of something in your area.

Can the Lego be outside?

We really do prefer indoor locations for the Lego parties. Because of Lego being what it is, indoor locations allow us to ensure that as few pieces are lost as possible. If an indoor space isn't possible we can use outdoor spaces that have solid floors (concrete, paved etc) but please do refer to our wet weather policy for this party below.

How much space is needed?

We can generally adapt ourselves to most locations but this party does require a bit of space. We provide 4-6 mats full of lego and will also need space to set up a short race track, plus a "demolition zone" for a number of the events. An open plan lounge/dining room with most furniture removed or a mostly empty double garage should provide enough space.

What do I need to provide?

Our host will need you to provide them with a table. Otherwise we will provide everything needed for the lego party.

It's also a good idea to have some napkins or sanitary hand wipes for the kids to use after eating and before they get stuck back into the lego.

Is there anything I should not provide?

Please don't bring out any of your lego, we would hate to accidentally steal it when we pack up at the end of the day.

We request that you don't hand out any noise making party favours or party poppers until after the disco has finished. While our hosts are very capable, competing with a large group of kids all blowing whistles and popping streamers to be heard is a big ask for anyone. 

Is there anything I need to tell you?

It is a good idea to inform your host if any of the guests have special needs. These can include ADHD, autism, aspergers, down syndrom and other behavioral conditions. While our events are designed to be inclusive for all, there are times when awareness of children with these conditions can allow the host to temper their performance sightly, particularly when interacting with those children, to ensure they feel safe and included.

Is there a limit to the number of children I can invite?

For our Lego parties there is a limit of 16 guests. If the party is for 5 year old children then the limit is reduced to 12 guests. This is for a number of reasons, including the number of children who can safely be supervised, the amount of equipment provided and the pace at which the games are played. In some cases we can cater for additional guests but this will need to be discussed with the office at time of booking as it often requires the booking of two full party kits and hosts. We do recommend keeping your guest list to the 16 limit if at all possible as our party has been structured to be at its best with these numbers.

Is there an age limit for this party?

There are no hard age limits for the Lego parties. We do recommend that the majority of children be aged between 5 and 10 years. If there are a few children outside those ages they are welcome to participate. It is worth keeping in mind that Lego requires a level of dexterity that may make it difficult for children under the age of 5yrs to participate. It can also be considered a bit daggy for kids over the age of 11yrs. When the majority of kids are inside the age bracket the sense of peer-group will generally overcome those obstacles for the small number of older or younger guests. When the majority of guests are older or younger, our experience is that the event won't be as successful with our format and another party format might be a better solution for your event.
