If your kids love building with blocks, designing forts, or creating anything they can imagine, you'll want to mark your calendar for Kidstruction. This free family event returns to downtown Roanoke on Saturday, July 25, from 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. at the Taubman Museum of Art, offering a fun-filled day where creativity takes center stage.
Hosted by the American Institute of Architects (AIA) Blue Ridge Chapter, Kidstruction gives children the chance to think like architects and engineers through hands-on building activities that are as entertaining as they are educational.
What to Expect
Kids of all ages can spend the day designing, stacking, and creating with:
- More than 100,000 LEGO® bricks
- 300 oversized cardboard building bricks
- Interactive building challenges
- Hands-on activities and games
- Exciting prizes and giveaways
- Opportunities to explore architecture and design through play
Whether your child carefully plans every detail or simply enjoys seeing how tall they can build a tower before it tumbles over, Kidstruction encourages imagination, creativity, teamwork, and problem-solving in a fun, relaxed setting.
One of the best parts about Kidstruction is that it's completely free, making it an easy addition to your family's summer plans. Since it's hosted at the Taubman Museum of Art, families can also enjoy exploring the museum while they're there, turning the day into a creative adventure in downtown Roanoke.
It's the kind of event where kids can unplug from screens, get their hands busy, and create something entirely their own.
