The epic adventure has been a hit with kids, parents and grandparents alike who have been awed by the largest LEGO® brick exhibition in Australian history, made from over 6 million LEGO® bricks.
Visitors have discovered more than 50 large-scale dinosaurs, props, scenes and activities inspired by the blockbusters Jurassic World franchise, including an enormous T.rex – a favourite of many explorers.
Jurassic World by Brickman® is brought to Melbourne thanks to TEG Live and Brickman®, in partnership with MCEC, and led by LEGO® Certified Professional Ryan McNaught. Ryan is the only LEGO® Certified Professional in the Southern Hemisphere and the star judge of the hit TV show LEGO® Masters Australia. Season 3 of LEGO® Masters Australia has premiered to rave reviews, putting an even greater spotlight on Ryan and his incredible LEGO® building creativity.
Ryan shared his thoughts on the success and thanked Victorians for embracing the exhibition.
“Seeing the overwhelming support and turn-out by Victorians has been so rewarding. I am so proud and excited to see the experience extended, and I’m appreciative of every single person who has already visited,” said McNaught.
“The whole team has worked on this for the last two years, it’s so great that finally, people have been able to enjoy our hard work and so happy that people have enjoyed it so much. I’m totally loving all the models that people have built and contributed to the exhibition,” continued McNaught.
Visitors to Jurassic World by Brickman® begin by walking through the iconic 4-metre-tall Jurassic World gates to experience the island itself, then the inner workings of the Jurassic World lab, where dinosaurs are genetically engineered.
Explorers then venture to the baby dinosaur enclosure, where a life-size LEGO® brick Brachiosaurus awaits that weighs well over 2 tons! Adventurers learn how to track dinosaurs across the island before encountering escaped Velociraptors Blue and Delta, and the infamous T.rex. In the Jurassic World by Brickman® experience, LEGO® fanatics also show off their own building skills.
The hands-on exhibition has a myriad of activities, from island-building, LEGO® palaeontology and discovery through mystery mosaics, hybrid dinosaur creation, learning to track a dinosaur by creating species footprints, and even building escape vehicles to get away from the T.rex. With 2.5 million bricks to play with, creativity is not in short supply!
Tickets are selling fast and on sale at the door, and through Ticketek. Book your weekend tickets now to avoid disappointment.

Jurassic World by Brickman® is supported by the City of Melbourne, the Victorian Government and the RISE Fund.
