New Jersey has a wide range of attractions that visitors of all ages will enjoy, but how many of those attractions can take you 90 million years back in time? That's right, folks: there's a dinosaur park in New Jersey that will take you back to the Mesozoic Era! Dinosaurs lived during three periods of geological time -- the Triassic period (which was 252-201 million years ago), the Jurassic period (about 201-145 million years ago), and the Cretaceous period (145-66 million years ago) --and Field Station: Dinosaurs in New Jersey will transport to back to this infamous time when dinosaurs roamed the planet. Let's take a little trip back in time, shall we?

Located in Leonia (40 Fort Lee Road), Field Station: Dinosaurs is an interactive experience that brings the Mesozoic Era to life. There are no visitors here; every guest is a scientist on an important expedition! Your purchase grants you credentials to access this epic dinosaur park in New Jersey.

Along your journey in the beautiful Overpeck County Park, you’ll come across 31 full-size animatronic dinosaurs, including this 90-foot Argentinosaurus. With a wide range of motion, they are incredibly realistic! From the daunting T-Rex to New Jersey’s own Hadrosaurus, you’ll be blown away by the detail. Perhaps most impressive is the Argentinosaurus, the largest creature to ever walk the earth and consequently, the largest animatronic dinosaur ever made!

In addition to your immersive stroll through the past, the park puts on two shows sure to delight. The first teaches the audience about different types of dinosaurs, including herbivores, carnivores, predators, and scavengers. While this is a fantastic learning experience, the second show offered is truly unforgettable. You’ll be given the opportunity to get up close with a baby T-Rex (!) that's so realistic, you'll have a hard time believing it isn't, in fact, real.

For a memorable add-on experience, guests can enjoy a giant screen 3D documentary or visit the Paleontologists Laboratory and dig for genuine fossils – an extraordinary souvenir.

Field Station's hours vary by season, and you can learn more at their website or official Facebook page before planning your trip to this dinosaur park in New Jersey.

This hidden gem also hosts some really fun events throughout the year, including Dinos After Dark, where guests are guided through the grounds by lantern, invited to play themed games, dine on roasted marshmallows, and view a special film. But beware – there’s a T-Rex on the loose! A fearless Dinosaur Wrangler will lead a Tyrannosaurus hunt along the Field Station’s darkened trails; stick by this leader, and you should be safe! Experience the thrill of discovery and make memories to last a lifetime. On select dates, guests can even enjoy a pre-show mac n’ cheese buffet with a baby Hadrosaurus on hand.
