Amazing Giants have arrived at the Arena

LIPTOVSKÝ MIKULÁŠ (7th July 2014) – From today, holidaymakers and local people can cool down at the tropical Tatralandia thanks to extinct but realistic Giants from the Ice Age. A unique exhibition of 17 animal models has come to the multipurpose Liptov Arena at Tatralandia again, after a year. From 7th July to the end of August, visitors will have a chance to learn something about the lives of the cave lion, gigantopithecus, giant moa bird or mammoth and see them in full size. There will also be a unique battle scene of 5-metre-tall and 2-metre-long one-horned rhinoceri.

An area of 4,000 m2 will introduce creatures that can´t be met anywhere else on our planet. The exposition was prepared in cooperation of scientists and artists and brings back traces of earthly life long forgotten. Each of 17 models is placed into scenery resembling the original natural environment. Learning the oldest and biggest inhabitants of our planet through this exposition will help students, lovers of prehistory, amateur researchers and also the wide public to see them in details and realize their astonishing size and power. The biggest model of a mammoth is 6 metres tall. All models are displayed in dynamic positions so that every visitor can create their own story about them. The exhibition does not only teach visitors how prehistoric animals looked like, but also what they lived on and how they coexisted with man. As part of the Giant exhibition, there will also be an exhibition of 18 oversized mirror and crystal brain teasers, optical illusions, 3D magic and endless labyrinths.

The multipurpose Liptov Arena is located only a few metres from Aquapark Tatralandia, with all tourist centres in the Low and Western Tatras easily accessible. For more information, please visit www.liptovarena.sk.
