Field Station Dinosaurs Now Open In #NEW New Jersey Location! @Jerseysaurus

 

Our family loves dinosaurs and has enjoyed visiting Field Station Dinosaurs over the past few years. If you have not heard, Field Station Dinosaurs has changed its location to a different part of New Jersey. It’s not too far from the original location or NYC and easy to get to. We took the kids and headed to the new location to check it out last weekend.

Now located at Overpeck County Park, Bergen County, NJ, Field Station: Dinosaurs is back with a new home and pre-summer ticket prices starting at $15.00 for the 2016 season!  Dinosaur fans have until June 30 to take advantage of Field Station: Dinosaurs’ new low price ticket packages before summer ticket pricing begins on July 1.  Remember, you can Buy Now, Explore Later! Summer ticket pricing will be $17.50 for Day Pass, $22.50 for Explorer’s Pass and $42.50 for Commander’s Pass.  All other pricing, including the new 3D movie ($5.00), the Paleo Lab ($10.00) and Season Pass ($60.00) will remain the same.  Group discounts are available on select passes.

 So, if you are wondering what is different about the new location, I have some news. There are a few changes. The park is not as big as it was in the last location. It’s still the same amount of fun and all of your favorite dinosaurs are there, but the park goes in a complete circle now, minus the hills. Everything is super easy to find and it’s not as tiring on little legs in the hot sun. There is also a dinosaur fossil station that is available for an extra fee. You child can uncover a fossil and take it home. It’s a great activity. There are fun shows that also teach kids (and parents_ important facts about dinosaurs, and they take you out of the sun for a little bit. Please remember that this is an outdoor park so you may want to remember sunscreen and an umbrella to shade the family. If you do want a break there is a great snack station where you can dine out of the sun on burgers, hot dogs, pretzels and more. There are also a lot of ice cold choices frozen treats!

After an exhaustive search for a new home from one end of New Jersey to the other, and reviewing potential locations in other states, the incredibly popular Field Station: Dinosaurs will pitch its Commander’s tent and their assemblage of dinosaurs at Bergen County’s Overpeck County Park.  The park was found to be the most suitable location and the perfect setting for continuing the Field Station’s mission of both educating and entertaining families.  The 2016 season will be the beginning of an expansive overall plan that will make the park bigger and better than ever before.

So grab your family and get outside. This is definitely a trip where your kids will never even know they are learning and just think they are having tons of fun. My daughter’s first stop is always the dig site. It’s a fun place where you can grab some shovels and brushes and uncover some dino bones! 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. Over thirty life-sized, realistic dinosaurs  come to life thanks to the brilliant engineering of the world’s leading roboticists and the imagination of our artists. 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 but at the center of it all is the fun, the joy and the wonder of dinosaurs.

Tickets are available online at www.FieldStationDinosaurs.com and by phone at 855-999-9010.  The park is open from 10:00 AM – 6:00 PM through June 26 on Saturdays and Sundays, and from June 28 through September 4 from Tuesdays through Sundays and Labor Day.  Season passes and add-ons for access to all of the park’s programming and activities are also available.

Disney’s Finding Dory Is Amazing- In Theaters Now. See it in Dolby Cinema at AMC For the Ultimate Movie Experience

If there is one thing our family loves, it’s going to the movies. We love all kinds of movies and all kinds of theaters. Until today I thought we had experienced them all. But, today our family had the first time experience of viewing Finding Dory in the Dolby Cinema at AMC Theaters. We had the pleasure of enjoying it at the AMC Empire- 42nd Street- NYC.  The Dolby Cinema at AMC Theaters is a movie-goer’s dream come true. From the extra roomy seats that are reserved just for you to the back and front reclining chair action. You are set for whatever movie you plan on seeing.

For our family it was Disney’s Finding Dory. If you are a fan of Disney’s Finding Nemo you will definitely love this lovely sequel. In Finding Dory, Dory has a flashback and actually remembers that she does have a family. Family is the most important part of life, so watching Dory remember parts of her past and take a journey to find her parents was amazing. Seeing the movie in Dolby Cinema at AMC made our own family feel like we were actually in the movie. The screen was huge and crystal clear for dramatic imaging. The moving audio surrounded us throughout the movie. That was especially incredible to our experience. Some of the audio almost made us duck as if a huge wave was about to crash on us! As for the innovative seating, it cannot be beat. With a press of the light up button it was back down into your own comfy position and your feet up as high as you would like them. Did I mention that the seats pulsate? We were already making a list of upcoming movies that will be showing at Dolby Cinema at AMC! Since Disney’s Finding Dory will only be showing at Dolby Cinema at AMC for one week only, you really need to hurry and grab your tickets! You will not want to miss this experience! It was a first for our family, but not a last for sure. I think the only thing that will change is that we will be bringing more family and friends along to enjoy the experience with us.

I’m beyond happy that we had the chance to see Finding Dory in Dolby Cinema at AMC. Please check out our video all about our Dolby Cinema experience!  By the way, you will find some of the most adorable new characters that have been added to Finding Dory and some of your very favorites that still get a little screen time from Finding Nemo! “Finding Dory” features an all-star voice cast, welcoming Ellen DeGeneres from the Ellen DeGeneres Show and Albert Brooks from This is 40 back to the sea as Dory and Marlin. Ed O’Neill from Modern Family lends his voice to Septopus- who definitely was one of our family’s favorite characters! Hank, Kaitlin Olson voices the beautiful Destiny- childhood friend of Dory and Ty Burrell from Modern Family voices Bailey the beluga whale. Dory’s parents Charlie and Jenny are Eugene Levy and Diane Keaton. See you at the movies! See you at Dolby Cinema at AMC. For more information on Dolby Cinema at AMC click here.
