Model dinosaurs are set to take over The Centre in Livingston for Easter - the Jurassic statues were built using around 500,000 toy bricks.
The creatures will be on exhibition from April 1 - April 18, visitor’s will be able to see dinosaurs like a seven foot tall Parasaurolophus made from over 100,000 bricks, or a 12 foot long Velociraptor, made with over 45,000 bricks.
The display is put on by BRICKLIVE - a company that specialises in building exhibitions made from toy bricks - this exhibition is called ‘Brickosaurs Trail’.
Guests will be able to learn facts about the dinos on display, as well as having a free ‘Brickosaurs Trail Hunt’ activity which challenges children to try and track down all the creatures around the shopping centre.
Interested shoppers can pick up a map for the trail hunt from the customer service desk, located next to New Look in The Centre.
Completed trails can be returned to the desk and entered into a competition to be in with a chance of winning a £50 Gift Card every day during the event.
It will also include two 6ft x 4ft interactive selfie zones, with one featuring a huge Megalosaur head to capture fun photos.
It took a team of 20 designers and ‘master builders’ over 3000 hours to build the dinosaurs, making use of a specialised 3D modelling software and then building the statues around stainless steel frames, glued together one brick at a time.
Ashley Bisland, Deputy Centre Director at The Centre, Livingston, said: “We are delighted to bring the spectacular BRICKLIVE ‘Brickosaurs Trail’ to The Centre, Livingston this Easter.
“The impressive exhibits will be located throughout the mall for families to seek out and learn some facts, which will make for a great day out for kids of all ages this Easter and also brick and dinosaur enthusiasts too.”
