Get ready for some DINO-mite fun, New Jersey! Grab your prehistoric passport and join more than 40 LIFE-SIZED moving dinosaurs including Triceratops, Parasaurolophus, Microraptor and of course, T. Rex to name a few, on the globetrotting expedition, Dino Safari. This drive-thru dino adventure is fun for the entire family and is coming to Freehold Raceway Mall from July 10th-August 8th, and Westfield Garden State Plaza in Paramus, NJ from Friday, July 16th through Sunday, August 8th.
Disclosure: the information in this post comes directly from the Dino Safari press release
Get up-close-and personal with the most fascinating prehistoric creatures from the mighty T. Rex of North America to the giant amphibious Spinosaurus of Africa. On your adventure, you will learn how dinosaurs evolved over time, where they called home, and the discoveries paleontologists have made about how they ate, moved, and behaved. Beware: along the journey, earthquakes might erupt, dinosaurs could battle, and your family might just have to help save a baby dinosaur’s life! So, buckle up for the adventure of a lifetime in this completely COVID-safe experience.
Dino Safari was created in consultation with paleontologist Dr. Gregory Erickson and features fact-based, educational content in addition to an exciting storyline. Kids and families are guided through the fictional “Pangea National Park” by an audio tour (available in both English and Spanish) that plays through each car’s audio system, featuring fun and friendly characters. Each vehicle is given a “Survival Pack” containing your passport to Pangea with a scavenger hunt and other fun surprises for a more interactive experience.
“We are thrilled to be bringing this safe and fun experience to families in northern New Jersey, particularly in light of the many challenges everyone has faced over the last year,” said Tom Zaller, President & CEO of Imagine Exhibitions, producer of Dino Safari. “Our animatronic dinosaurs transport visitors to a land of prehistoric proportions!”
Advance purchase is strongly recommended. Ticket prices begin at $49.95 per vehicle and are available through DinoSafari.com.
Jersey Momma Tips for Visiting
*If you plan to visit on a hot day, just know that you might have your windows open to hear/see the dinosaurs better and it can get hot in the car, too! So dress for the weather, even though you're in your car.
*If you're visiting Paramus, don't forget that Bergen county closes establishments on Sunday, so the mall will not be open on that day.
*Other than Sundays, the Garden State Plaza Mall is a great pit stop and has plenty of places to eat. So does the Freehold Raceway Mall.
*The dinosaurs move and make sounds but are not overly frightening. We give it the stamp of approval for ages 3-10.
