We have received a lot for requests for information about the opening of Field Station Dinosaurs. You heard it here:
31 life-sized animatronic dinosaurs at Field Station: Dinosaurs, a 20-acre pre-historic outdoor expedition created to teach and delight enthusiasts about dinosaurs and the surrounding ecosystem of the New Jersey’s Meadowlands.
Field Station: Dinosaurs is a world-class family attraction that combines cutting-edge
science with the creative minds of great artists and teachers to create a one-of-kind experience that’s thrilling, educational and fun.
Set against the breathtaking natural backdrop of the New Jersey Meadowlands and nestled at the base of a 150 million year old rock formation, the Field Station is an oasis of natural wonder just nine minutes from New York City. Over thirty life-sized, realistic dinosaurs (including the ninety foot long Argentinosaurus, the largest animatronic dinosaur ever made) come to life thanks to the brilliant engineering of the world’s leading roboticists and the imagination of our artists.
The story of the dinosaurs is vividly presented on twenty acres of wild, unpredictable woods, mysterious pathways, and mountain trails. Scientists from the New Jersey State Museum have worked to ensure that the exhibition encompasses the latest theories and discoveries in the fields of paleontology, geology, and environmental studies. Workshops, games and activities connect the story of the dinosaurs to our world today, giving new relevance to their lives and power to the tale of their extinction.
And at the center of it all is the fun, the joy and the wonder of dinosaurs. Our expedition takes every family on a shared adventure – full of mystery, surprise and a sense of awe.
Field Station: Dinosaurs opens Memorial Day weekend, May 26 and is open through mid-November. Hours are 10am-5pm weekends only until June 19. Hours June 20-September 4 are 10am-6pm daily.
