An immersive dinosaur exhibition featuring giant LEGO creations at Paris Montreuil Expo — our photos

Dinosaurs in Montreuil? Yes, a LEGO Jurassic World exhibition is coming to Paris Montreuil Expo, with nearly fifteen dinosaurs created brick by brick and designed byRyan "The Brickman" McNaught, from December 20, 2025, to May 3, 2026. The famous franchise universe comes to life thanks to more than six million small LEGO bricks, taking visitors on a journey among these ferocious beasts, immersive settings, scenes, and life-size activities built from scratch.

Among the dinosaurs that LEGO enthusiasts and fans can explore is the Baryonyx. This impressive creature took 790 hours to design and used over 102,000 LEGO bricks. It measures an astonishing 4.8 meters long, more than 1.5 meters wide, and reaches a height of 2.5 meters—impressive indeed!

After passing through the 4-meter-tall gates of Jurassic World, visitors find themselves immersed in the heart of the island, stepping into the laboratory where dinosaurs are brought to life. They then explore the baby dinosaur enclosure, encounter a Brachiosaurus, and walk beneath soaring Pteranodons in flight — all meticulously crafted entirely in LEGO!

Throughout the exhibition, explorers will learn how to track dinosaurs, but they might also come face to face with the escaped Velociraptors Blue and Delta, not to mention the massive T-rex. Don't worry—they're all made out of bricks!

A perfect treat for kids, especially since they’ll find fun-filled activities waiting for them: building island landscapes, LEGO paleontology adventures, uncovering mysteries through mosaics, designing hybrid dinosaurs, learning tracking skills by studying footprints, and even crafting their own escape vehicles.

While we might have expected a few extra rooms, it's important to commend the technological feat achieved by this exhibit, featuring massive structures built entirely out of LEGO bricks—such as the enormous entrance gate that sets the tone. Each display showcases the constructions, highlighting not only their scale through weight and piece count but also providing educational insights about the various dinosaurs, for example!

This playful aspect is highlighted by the numerous building stations scattered throughout the exhibition, where children and their parents are invited to pick up LEGO bricks to recreate a dinosaur footprint or a vehicle. These hands-on activities encourage interaction with the set and can trigger engaging animations. Be sure to take your time and join in these mini-workshops to make the most of your visit!

Furthermore, while there are many options to prevent overcrowding at any one spot — which is definitely a positive — these places can still get crowded, especially during holidays or weekends. To enjoy a more peaceful experience, consider visiting at a different time, especially if your child enjoys building in a calm environment. 

Immerse yourself in a soundtrack reminiscent of blockbuster films as you gaze up at pterodactyls soaring overhead. Approach the enormous T. rex to marvel at the intricately assembled tiny bricks, then join in the fun by building your own creations. Don’t forget to peek into the LEGO Jeep’s rearview mirrors—you might just get a surprise!
