Plano families looking for a fun, educational weekend activity have a new option: the LEGO Pokémon SMART Play Experience will be held at The Shops at Legacy East, Suite E5, on Saturday, Oct. 10, and Sunday, Oct. 11, from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. each day. Admission is free, and the event invites children to become Pokémon Trainers, selecting Pikachu, Charmander or Eevee as a partner and then using LEGO’s innovative SMART Play sets to nurture, train and battle their creations.
What Makes SMART Play Different
Unlike traditional LEGO bricks, SMART Play incorporates responsive technology that lets the builds react to a child’s actions. The experience is completely screen‑free, blending physical construction with interactive features that encourage imaginative storytelling and problem‑solving. Kids can watch their LEGO Pokémon respond to commands, creating a dynamic play environment that goes beyond static models.
