Brand new 'Bricktastic Beasts' trail opens at Edinburgh Zoo to thrill summer visitors
The new trail features impressive life-sized sculpture of animals such as penguins, lions and gorillas.
A new attraction is opening at Edinburgh Zoo that promises to ‘build’ on the zoo’s summer offering.
From June 27 until August 30, the Royal Zoological Society of Scotland’s Bricktastic Beasts trail will be open to the public.


The new trail will feature a number of animals built from more than 558,000 bricks.


Life-sized animal sculptures in the trail include those depicting rockhopper penguins, a lion, and a 158kg gorilla.


The interactive trail will be dotted around the zoo and the sculptures can be enjoyed for free as part of your regular entry admission fee.


However, for those wanting to follow the trail in full, a Bricktastic Beasts map will be available from £2.
Visitors can book their entrance to Edinburgh Zoo in advance to save money on admission.
Tickets can be bought on the Edinburgh Zoo website.
