We went as a family of 5, 2 adults and 3 children to see Extinct animals at Marwell Zoo . This was an amazing day out! The Lego lifesize statues are brilliant and we couldn't believe how detailed they looked; they are truly amazing. We loved the information board telling us how many man hours it took to build, the number of bricks it contained and then information about the extinct animal, it was so interesting. The children would try and guess how many bricks it contained before we got the information! The children even got to build part of the sabre-toothed tiger that will be completed over the summer by all visitors, and go on display in September. The children found this fascinating and can’t wait to go back and see it all finished. We managed to see lots of animals up and about and get very close which the children found so exciting and we all couldn’t believe how close we could get. The children even got to have their face painted as their favourite animal; Pasha the beautiful tiger. We all had a brilliant time and can’t wait to go back and see the completed sabre-toothed tiger.
