Nimravis Posted May 27, 2019 Share Posted May 27, 2019 If you love sharks and/or Legos, you’ll like this post. Today I want with my son and grandson to Brookfield zoo to see exhibit called “Brick Safari”. They have this temporary exhibit that consists of 40 full-size Lego animals. Here is my grandson standing next to a Mako shark. The last photo will tell how long it took to build this as well as how much it weighs and how many Legos were used to build it. They had animals there that were the size of baby penguins all the way up to a giraffe and an elephant. The whole exhibit was very impressive. And yes, my grandson’s face is painted up like a tiger.

Tidgy's Dad Posted May 27, 2019 Share Posted May 27, 2019 Very impressive! And what a lot of bricks. Are you sure that's a tiger face? Looks more like an atrypid to me. Life's Good! Tortoise Friend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My three boys would have loved this exhibit when they were younger. (They all probably still would, lol.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree- I think adults enjoyed it more. The below piece was one of my favorites, the tree is also LEGOs. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had to enlarge it to see the Lego aspect. I would say that company has done quite well with those products over the years. Not only as a creative toy, but as a painful torture device if ever you accidentally step on them barefoot. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
