Reading Dino Trail
25 July – 23 August
Get ready for a ROAR-some summer adventure in Reading! From 25 July – 23 August, stomp your way around Reading as incredible brick-built dinosaurs take over the town centre.
Join us for the Reading Dino Trail – a fun, FREE family-friendly trail that transforms a day out into an exciting hunt for 19 amazing dinosaur models. Built entirely from toy bricks, these impressive creations range from towering, larger-than-life dinosaurs to adorable baby dinos waiting to be spotted. Prepare to be seriously impressed...some of these HUGE dinosaurs are built from over 180,000 bricks!
Whether you’re planning a school holiday adventure, meeting friends, or just need a reason to swap screen time for sunshine, this trail is a brilliant way to explore Reading together. It’s buggy-friendly, easy to follow and completely FREE, making it ideal for both little explorers and big kids.
How to Join the Adventure:
To take part, pick up a free trail map from:
- The Oracle, Lower and Upper Levels
