About
Roar into the past with mammoth Extinction event at Marwell Zoo!
A fearsome sabre-toothed tiger and giant woolly mammoth will come roaring into Marwell Zoo this summer.
A jaw-dropping Extinction event will bring visitors face-to-fang with lost legends and prehistoric creatures in a world-first collection of extinct animals crafted from over two million toy bricks.
Extinction will shine a spotlight on lost species including dinosaurs, an incredible six-metre-long woolly mammoth, a hissing titanoboa and a giant ground sloth.
Visiting explorers will collect a map and journey across the zoo's 140 acres of parkland to meet more than 20 life-sized recreations of the animals that once roamed the Earth.
There will be plenty of photo opportunities, including the chance to pose with a giant dinosaur egg and dodo photo op – and visitors to Extinction Basecamp can help build a massive sabre-toothed tiger and craft their own mini mammoth or dodo to take home.
Enthusiasts will also be able to test their knowledge along the Extinction trail, with a host of fascinating facts and build stats at every turn. With more than 20 stunning models to discover, fun activities and surprises along the way, there's something to amaze adventurers of all ages.
Extinction will be on display alongside our hundreds of rare and endangered animals, making Marwell the perfect place to learn about the past, celebrate the present, and inspire everyone to protect our planet's most precious species for the future.
Extinction is included with general admission to the zoo and will be on display from July 19 until September 7, 2025.
