A Giraffe made out of LEGO's!
We love the Bronx Zoo for their educational programs, mission for global conservation and their amazing collection of over 4,000 animals. This Zoo is also known for their fun activities and hands-on workshops and this summer you and your family can enjoy an interactive event that combines animal education with a LEGO display and building activity. The Great Summer Zoofari: A LEGO Wildlife Expedition includes life-size LEGO tigers, Chilean flamingos, gorillas, penguins, giraffes, and spray toads that can be viewed throughout the park. Kids can also learn about these animals by creating their own LEGO sculptures and contribute to a mural at designated areas in the zoo!
You can check out LEGO animals at the Zoo until September 30th and see LEGO brick sculptures throughout the zoo.
