Final chance to see the giant Lego Big Cats trail at Chester Zoo

There's less than a week for families to see the life-sized Lego animals at Chester Zoo.

A lion, a leopard, a tiger, a cheetah and a jaguar are among the 12 giant creations, in the Lego: Big Cats event , which arrived back in February.

Now visitors are being reminded they only have until Tuesday, April 30 before the trail finishes for good.

A mammoth 600,000 Lego bricks were used to make the masterpieces, which took a whopping 2,000 hours to build.

The 12 big cats are all in one place, close to the zoo's Dragons in Danger building, and don't take too long to see - apart from the typical queues for those all-important photo opportunities.

And there are 10 other smaller ones hidden around the zoo for families to find - using the board next to each one to answer questions in a leaflet along the way.

Families can also have a go at creating their own animal models, and join the Zoo Rangers to discover more about big cats.

The event is just one of many new attractions this year, including the Madagascar habitat which opened to the public this Easter.

The Big Cats exhibition is part of the usual admission fee. To find out more, or to book, visit the website here .
