Dinosaurs and Trains, two things kids love!!!  

I don’t know about you, but my kids adore the television series “Dinosaur Train”.  It has made available to them all kinds of scientific information that they would otherwise not understand at their ages.  They also discuss dinosaurs in a way that isn’t scary, but interesting.  I will never forget the day I came home and my 3 year old son explained why he was an omnivore!  So when we saw this we HAD to go and review for you.  What’s even better?!  We have a GIVEAWAY!!! 

Well, now you can experience both!!! Explore the world of Dinosaurs and Steam Trains in a day filled with family fun. Learn about Dinosaurs with world famous  field paleontologists Mike and Roberta Straka. Enjoy Scott Wagstaff -Ventriloquist and his Zany animals for an entertaining and fun family show!  Then, relax and play in their 40′ bouncy obstacle course, take pictures with a Giant T-Rex Dinosaur and meet and greet with Davey The Dinosaur.

Travel back in time on areal Steam Train to the Ol’ Susquehanna Mine located on the Snyder Farm in Carpentersville NJ. The Snyder Farm’s archaeological treasures are registered with the New Jersey State Museum  and has been studied for many years by archaeologists from Temple University.  Once at the Ol’ Susquehanna each guest takes the mine tour and learns about the unique history of the Ol’ Susquehanna Mine. After witnessing the exploding mine shaft and history tour guests learn how to pan for fossils! Each guest receives a bag of fossil bearing ore. There are over 20 different fossils along with a beautiful identifying card!

INCLUDED:

Steam train ride to the The Ol’ Susquehanna Mine – Panning for real fossils you can take home!
Temporary Tattoos – Dinosaur Train themed temporary tattoos to children’s faces, arms or hands at the Activity Area.
Spin Art Area – Make some wild creations with the spin art machine!
Dinosaur Show – Field Paleontologists Mike and Roberta Straka will take you on a scientific exploration highlighting the world of dinosaurs, fossils and rocks/minerals. Each summer, the team explores the Badlands of North and South Dakota excavating dinosaurs. This fun-filled wow-factor show will cover the formation of fossils and herbivores vs. carnivores. We will discuss our work as field paleontologist and our background in geology in a relatable way with entertainment, humor, magic and real fossils. The presentation will feature:

  • “Mr. Nixon”, a real eight foot Triceratops skull discovered by our team in 1996 and is 67 million years old
  • A real Albertosaurus skull will highlight the features of a carnivore.
  • Original music
  • Songs
  • Show & tell with rare fossils
  • A touch of magic which includes a special “egg magic trick” which segues to *presentation of a real dinosaur egg fossil
  • “Dinosaur Game Show” will round out the show.
