While the weather is finally starting to cool, dinosaurs are always cool and Field Station: Dinosaurs is set to reopen for another “Awesome Autumn” season!
After a fantastic summer filled with exciting dinosaur activities, families can enjoy eight more weekends of entertaining and educational programming at the Field Station, including the return of the hugely popular, “Dinosaurs After Dark” experience. Located at Bergen County’s Overpeck Park in Leonia, New Jersey, the Field Station will be open on Saturdays and Sundays from September 22 through November 11, plus November 8 and 9. “Dinosaurs After Dark” takes place on Friday and Saturday evenings from September 28 through October 27.
One of the most popular activities of the Autumn season is, “Dinosaurs After Dark,” a spooky, funny adventure into a shadowy, prehistoric world. When the sun goes down, it’s discovered that there’s a T-Rex on the loose! A fearless Dinosaur Wrangler will lead a Tyrannosaurus Hunt along the Field Station’s darkened trails. The Dinosaur Troubadour hosts the Crazy Cretaceous Costume Party, a musical puppet show where staff paleontologists use the scientific method to determine the scariest Halloween costume of all. The experience concludes with a dinosaur sing-a-long around a campfire with s’mores and hot chocolate! Reservations are recommended as space is limited.
