Extinction at Marwell Zoo

Roar into the past with mammoth Extinction event at Marwell Zoo in Hampshire this summer.

Look out for a fearsome sabre-toothed tiger and giant woolly mammoth! The jaw-dropping Extinction event will bring visitors face-to-fang with lost legends and prehistoric creatures in a world-first collection of extinct animals crafted from over two million toy bricks.

Extinction will shine a spotlight on lost species including dinosaurs, an incredible six-metre-long woolly mammoth, a hissing titanoboa and a giant ground sloth. Visiting explorers will collect a map and journey across the zoo’s 140 acres of parkland to meet more than 20 life-sized recreations of the animals that once roamed the Earth.

There will be plenty of photo opportunities, including the chance to pose with a giant dinosaur egg and a dodo photo op. In addition, visitors to Extinction Basecamp can help build a massive sabre-toothed tiger and craft their own mini mammoth or dodo to take home.

Enthusiasts will also be able to test their knowledge along the Extinction trail, with a host of fascinating facts and build stats at every turn.

The Extinction event will be on display alongside all the rare and endangered animals at Marwell Zoo.
