1:1 Robotic T-rex and Stegosaurus Come Alive at Hong Kong's Harbour City and Times Square
HONG KONG, June 9, 2022 /PRNewswire-AsiaNet/ --

Wharf Malls and First Initiative Foundation jointly present "Flash Pop-up: 
Robotic Dinos"


Unleash the inner dinosaur fanatic in Hong Kong. First Initiative Foundation 
(FIF) joined hands with the Leisure and Cultural Services Department in 
presenting a large-scale exhibition "The Hong Kong Jockey Club Series: The Big 
Eight – Dinosaur Revelation" from July 2022, showcasing original specimens of 
the most iconic fossil skeletons. What's more, Wharf malls are also working 
with FIF to present "Flash Pop-up: Robotic Dinos" to display two 1:1 robotic 
dinosaur installations — the Tyrannosaurus rex (T-rex) and Stegosaurus, 
respectively at the Group's flagship retail properties Harbour City and Times 
Square. As Hong Kong's first large-scale outdoor exhibitions after the fifth 
wave of COVID-19, the public are invited to take photos with the fascinating 
creatures for free, with the iconic Hong Kong backdrop — Victoria Harbour from 
Tsim Sha Tsui and the bustling city in Causeway Bay, and participate in a 
series of dinosaurs-themed activities.

Harbour City showcases the fearsome 4.6M high x 12M long T-rex at "Ocean 
Terminal Deck" from now on to 17 July, while Times Square showcases famous 
Thagomizer tall bearing Stegosaurus that is 3.7M high x 9M long at "Open 
Piazza" from now on to 10 July. These pre-historic animals are scientific 
accurate and custom built, which were reconstructed under the supervision of 
paleontologists and with the latest scientific knowledge about these animals. 
They do not only look alive – they breathe and roar just like real living 
animals.

Dinosaur Academy

Kids can enroll Dinosaur Academy in weekends upon donation. They can learn 
about the history and knowledge of dinosaurs in Cretaceous and Jurassic, get up 
close with paleontological fossils, use their creativity and imagination to 
draw their own dinosaur, and finally become "Little Dinosaur Experts".

Other dinosaurs-themed activities

Kids love treasure hunt. Participants can receive a dinosaur folder and 
"Dinosaur Hunting Passport" upon donation to explore the dinosaur stamps 
scattered in Harbour City. They can also redeem a set of eight dinosaur flash 
cards and Dinosaur Hunter Certificate upon completion of tasks. During the 
exhibition period, participants can receive a Dinos Fiesta Hat and enjoy the 
fiesta and the shopping coupons at Times Square.
