It is adorable and endearing (and, let’s be honest, the tiniest bit annoying) when our kids become really interested in a topic. Often, not only can we read the books (over and over), watch the movies, listen to the fun facts (over and over), but we can also take them to experience their obsession in real life. We can take them to a planetarium if they’re into space, a zoo if they’re into animals, an aquarium if it’s fish, or a train yard to visit trains. But what to do if your child is a lover of all things dinosaur? Where to take them to walk among these huge, prehistoric creatures? Well, Field Station: Dinosaurs at Overpeck Park in Leonia, New Jersey, of course!
Field Station: Dinosaurs is a world-class family attraction that combines cutting-edge science with the creative minds of great artists to create a one-of-a-kind experience that’s thrilling, educational and fun. The Field Station is a wild scientific expedition with over 30 life-sized, moving, realistic dinosaurs come to life. At the center of it all is the fun, the joy and the wonder of the dinosaurs your kid knows and loves.
Wander along the scenic trails, and come face to face with dinosaurs along the way, even the Mighty T-Rex. Then, discover more with hands-on activities, live shows, and games throughout the day and all included in your Day Pass admission. Your expedition will take your family on a shared adventure – full of mystery, surprise and a sense of awe. Plus, check out the Events page – Field Station: Dinosaurs is hosting Super Stars of Science on select Saturdays this summer and you won’t want to miss their engaging shows and presentations.
