BRICKLIVE Ocean LEGO exhibition opens today at Edinburgh Zoo

Today sees a new LEGO exhibition, BRICKLIVE Ocean, open at Edinburgh Zoo.

Edinburgh Zoo, Edinburgh, UK is launching a new LEGO exhibition today, BRICKLIVE Ocean, that sees 30 new life-sized creatures brought to life with over a million LEGO bricks. A killer whale, a hammerhead shark and an octopus are just some of the sea creatures that will be on display for visitors to the zoological park.

Guests will be able to follow the LEGO trail around the zoo while learning facts about the various animals on display and getting hands on in the LEGO brick pit.

The penguin statue that is part of the trail recently received a curious reaction from the zoo’s real-life penguins.
