The LEGO Friends Unicorn Café sets up on Monument Circle in downtown Indianapolis Sept. 19–20, and it’s free. Kids get about 30 minutes of hands-on building and play, then go home with a LEGO Friends mini-doll and a cake mini build.
One thing to know before you load up the car: advance reservations are full. Families without an existing reservation can still visit as walk-ins, subject to space.

Who can build and how to get in
The building activities are designed for ages 4–10. Kids under 4 can’t build because of the small pieces, but they can color alongside their group. Adults are welcome to help with the building. They just can’t come without a kid: every adult needs at least one child age 17 or younger to get in.
Walk-ins are welcome as space allows. Walk-in guests register when they arrive, and wait times vary. Guests with reservations receive priority. Last entry is 5:15 p.m. and the walk-in line can close before that if the café fills up. Arriving before the last-entry time leaves more room for a possible wait, but admission isn’t guaranteed.
