  • Browse TRG’s unique storefront
The Robot Garage offers camps, classes, birthday parties, field trips, and shopping for LEGO and robotics enthusiasts of all ages. 
While we were there my daughters worked on building their own parks in the drop-in area. My older daughter made a dog and fountain on hers. My youngest built one with turtles and fountains. 
A couple of boys made shields & weapons. 
Many of the girls loved making bracelets out of the brightly colored LaQ® pieces. 
Preschool aged kids have their own table of DUPLO® bricks to play at. My son played with every type of block and robot. He can't wait to go back again. There is a robot you can race around a track. He got the high score. There is also a robotic arm, much like the one he built during Science Olympiad earlier this year. It was nice to just sit and talk with another mom while the kids played. They also have free Wi-Fi to keep you busy. 
We spent awhile checking out every cool detail of the huge theme park built by the summer campers. 
Then we went shopping. My kids added plenty of items to their wishlists.
