Reading Dino Trail

About

This summer, visitors to Reading town centre will have the chance to get up close and personal with dinosaur models built from hundreds of thousands of toy bricks. The Reading Dino Trail will take place across the town centre, including The Oracle and Broad Street Mall, with 15 dinosaurs on display between 5 – 20 August.
Brought to Reading by Reading BID (Reading's Business Improvement District) and BRICKLIVE, the trail promises to be a fun and free day out in Reading. The brick dinosaurs will be located inside participating shops, stores and Broad Street Mall and the Oracle Shopping Centre around Reading town centre.
Among the dinosaurs immortalised in toy bricks will be a nearly 3 metre-long Tethyshadros made of 89,000 bricks; Velociraptors measuring 3.6m long and 2.2m high; a Pteradon with a wing span of almost 3 metres; as well as Diplocaulus (126cm long), Archaeoceratops (117cm long) and a Megalosaur head for selfies.
Alexa Volker, Reading BID Manager, said: "The Reading Dino Trail is a unique collection of dinosaur brick models that will provide an awe-inspiring spectacle for visitors. With amazing models including a large Velociraptor and Parasaurolophus, as well as smaller models like a Diplocaulus and Archaeoceratops the trail contains some of the most extraordinary toy brick builds ever created. Visitors can experience first-hand what it would have been like to come face-to-face with these incredible prehistoric reptiles."
The models are created by BRICKLIVE and is organised by Reading BID. This event is not associated with the LEGO Group.
