(press release)

Field Station: Dinosaurs kicks off its 2017 season with everything families have come to know and love about the park, plus some exciting new programming.  The Field Station is ready to welcome dinosaur fans back to the park beginning Saturday, May 27. Ticket prices begin at only $15.00.  In addition to the over 30 life-size, realistic animatronic dinosaurs, there are 40 live shows, games, workshops and special guests that will simultaneously entertain and educate kids.

 

Named as one of the “World’s Best Spots for Dinosaur Fans,” by Fodor’s Travel, Field Station: Dinosaurs is situated in Bergen County’s scenic Overpeck Park.  This season, the Field Station has created an exciting “Temporary Base of Operations” on the banks of Overpeck Creek in Leonia’s Henry Hoebel section of the park while paleontologists and designers work with the Bergen County Parks Department on a permanent site in Teaneck.

 

The 2017 season features a brand new 3D movie, Sea Rex: Journey To A Prehistoric World in an air-conditioned theater tent and the world premiere of “Dragons to Dinosaurs” a shadow puppet show designed by FSD’s lead puppeteer Chris Palmieri, performed by Chris and the famous Monkey Boys. The Monkey Boys’ Mighty T-Rex puppet is featured in a revamped, “T-Rex Feeding Frenzy!” with a close-up look at everyone’s favorite carnivore and cool opportunities for audience participation. In the new “dark tent”, guests will meet Gertie, the world’s first dinosaur movie star. In the new musical show “Hey Ho Haddy!” the Dinosaur Troubadour will take us on a musical exploration of New Jersey’s most famous dinosaur discovery.

 

The popular “Super Stars of Science” program is back featuring special guest experts in the fields of paleontology, geology, puppetry, paleo artistry and more each Saturday during July and August.  And a brand new dinosaur will soon be added!  Spinosaurus, winner of the Field Station’s 2016 dino election, will be added to the park this summer.  Also, the Field Station’s phenomenally fun birthday party packages will now take place in a beautiful air-conditioned yurt.  The season will extend into the fall and will include the return of the highly popular “Dinosaurs After Dark” in September and October.

 

“The tents are up, the dinosaurs are ready and our staff is looking forward to greeting dinosaur fans young and old alike as we open our park for the 2017 season,” said Guy Gsell, the Executive Producer of Field Station: Dinosaurs.  “While we look forward to moving into our permanent location on the other side of Overpeck County Park next year, we are committed to making this a spectacular season to remember for all our guests.”
