Attended the Van Gogh Immersive Experience at the Mid American Center, tickets are expensive ($50 each) but it was a very cool experience.

The Center was great. The lighting was very good and there was plenty of room in the big room where we played.

Mi America center was fun today. We decided to go to brick days which is a Lego convention of sorts. There was plenty to do and plenty to see for all ages. There are plenty of exhibits which were elaborate and amazing. There was also plenty of activities for all the children like myself and other adults I couldn’t resist. There were several vendors selling all kinds of Lego sets Lego memorabilia Lego accessories and then some. If there was something that you were needing or wanting from Lego most likely you could find it here. The best part was that everybody was having fun and there were something there for everybody. My favorite we’re all the Star Wars exhibits. My second favor we’re all the Star Wars Lego characters that were available. I couldn’t believe some of the figures I saw that I had no idea were made into Lego characters. I talk to some other exhibit traders and they were very knowledgeable and dedicated and the conversation was fun. I had talk to everyone for putting this convention together.

This is a great facility! Love seeing Trans-Siberian Orchestra here every year! The staff is friendly and it's a nice place. The only complaint that I have is the seats we sat in, the chairs were a bit "broken". It was like once you sat down, something inside the plastic seat of the chair collapsed a bit. Other than that, no issues!
