Atlanta friends, this one is just for you!! David and I spent the morning at the Mall Of Georgia where we checked out the FREE Play Nintendo Tour 2014! It was a blast! (I first heard about this event over at www.productreviewmom.com - check her blog out for great Atlanta area events and fun, too!)
If your kids enjoy video games, they will be thrilled with the chance to play some of their favorite games at the Play Nintendo Tour stop in Atlanta. Mario, Zelda, Yoshi and Pokemon are just a few of the fun characters they will be able to enjoy! Radio Disney is there providing fun, upbeat music while you play, too.
We got there right when they opened (10 am), so only a few other participants were there. We got a passport from Jessica, one of the super-friendly staff members. She explained that we would have the opportunity to visit all six game worlds, play the game there, then answer a trivia question and get a sticker on the passport for that world.
When David filled up his card, he would take it to the Nintendo Claw machine for a chance to win! Jessica also gave us a brochure with info about the Nintendo 2DS, plus five games that are priced at $29.99, and some coupons for 10% off at Target. The coupons are good through 10/31 so they are perfect for early holiday shopping!
We started out with Donkey Kong, one of D's favorites. They had the cutest banana-shaped bean bags there!
After playing for a while, and getting his sticker, we moved to The Legend of Zelda, A Link Between Worlds. It was a castle-themed land, and he enjoyed playing the game! He got another sticker here.
David had a great time in the other game worlds too, and picked up a sticker in each for his correct trivia answers.
He filled his passport with all six stickers, plus a bonus one. That got him three tries on the Claw Machine, but no luck. Oh well!
Two of David's favorite things today ~ He got to try out Tomodachi Life:
and he was one of the first people to try out Super Smash Bros, which doesn't come out til early October! He can't wait - he said it was his favorite game of the day! And because we got there so early in the day, he got lots of one-on-one instruction from staff members. (Meaning he got some great hints and tricks from them - he was able to learn a lot!)
The Play Nintendo Tour 2014 will be at the Mall of Georgia, lower level near Nordstrom, through Sunday, August 17th. (Regular mall hours) The Mall is located at:3333 Buford Dr., Buford, GA 30519-4913. Costumed Nintendo characters will be available for photos at 2 pm each day. It's SO much fun. If you can get there and spend a couple hours with your kid, y'all will have a great time! (If you have smaller kids, there is a Simon play place adjacent to the Play Nintendo space so all ages can have a good time.)
There are two more stops in the Play Nintendo Tour - Houston, TX and Irvine, CA. Click the link to find out those dates!

This is DEFINITELY on D's Christmas list! I love the new durable design - no clamshell hinge to break! David really enjoyed playing on it today.
