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

Unleash the inner dinosaur fanatic!

To celebrate the 25th Anniversary of the Establishment of The Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, 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 meet these two giants at no fee, take photos 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” on 7 June to 17 July, while Times Square showcases famous Thagomizer tall bearing Stegosaurus that is 3.7M high x 9M long at “Open Piazza” on 7 June 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.

Visitors can take pictures 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. Apart from, the two shopping malls also organize an array of dinosaur-themed activities, allowing you to experience the dinosaur world in an all-round way. All proceeds of the activities will be donated to First Initiative Foundation (FIF).
