Recently I was in Cambridge for a couple of days to visit some museum exhibitions but I didn’t have any plans for after my arrival late in the afternoon of my first day in the city. A chance mention of this trail on social media lead me to head out to the Grand Arcade Shopping Centre in the middle of Cambridge to see it for myself. There are 13 animals to find that are made from tiny bricks (they are part of BrickLive and therefore, as they are keen to point out, NOT Lego). The exhibition ends on 27th August.
You can find a free map on the ground floor of the arcade but you don’t really need it – just walk along each of the floors of the shopping centre and you’ll easily find them.
The animals were all really well done and attracting a fair amount of attention. The exhibition is in partnership with the nearby Museum of Zoology which has provided information boards about the animals and their habitats.
As well as the above some of my particular favourites include the green turtle, the snow leopard and the panda.
If you’re looking for a bit of air conditioning (Cambridge was the hottest place in the country while I was there) you can’t go wrong with this fun safari.
