Play Time at the Chicago Toy & Game Fair

Disclaimer: The Fandads were invited to this year's Chicago Toy & Game Fair. All thoughts, opinions, and fun times are our own. 

The Fandads are lucky to attend to many fun events throughout the year, but the one event that we always look forward to attending is the Chicago Toy & Game Fair. I mean, how can you not like going to an event where you can play with the toys and just be a kid again with your kids? Here is our recap of the event and some of the toys we played with at the event. 

Fandads and The Chicago Toy and Game Fair

The Fandads have been attending the Chicago Toy and Game Fair since 2012. Every year our children have a lot of fun playing with all of the cool toys that are available to play with. We always have fun seeing them enjoying themselves, and we have fun playing with the toys ourselves, too. Here is a quick rundown as to why you should attend the show and maybe there will be something for those of you that read until the end. Let's begin! 

Chicago Toy and Game Fair

Last year Fandads went to the Chicago Toy & Game Fair and we had a blast. (Read about our visit here). This year the Fair is heading to the bigger Hall H at Navy Pier on November 17-18 and Fandads has family passes to giveaway to two lucky readers on our Facebook page and our Blog.  Before we let you know how you can score passes let us tell you a little about the Toy and Game Fair.

Time to Play and have Fun!! Updated Again!

Next weekend Navy Pier is hosting the Chicago Toy & Game Fair and Fandads will be there to preview all the upcoming toys and report it back to you.  This will be a great opportunity for us to see what the hot toys will be this holiday season and also talk to the manufacturers/inventors of these new toys. 

Tickets for the show are: $5 for children (3-13) & $10 for adults. 
Show hours are:  Saturday, November 19 - 10:00 AM to 6:00 PM

Star Wars fans on Saturday there will be a Star Wars Breakfast with members of the Star Wars 501st Legion: Vader's Fist at 9am and there is still time to register for it.  Pricing for this is $30 for children (12 and under) and $36 Per adult.  These prices include one day admission to the Toy and Game Fair, giveaways from Hasbro and Top Trumps, breakfast and photo opportunities with the 501st.
