With the news of the upcoming film JURASSIC WORLD (aka Jurassic Park 4), OC's Sean Risley and I couldn’t wait for the opportunity to visit a very similar type of park, Field Station: Dinosaurs. Located just outside New York City in Secaucus, NJ, FIELD STATION: DINOSAURS is the perfect adventure for dinophiles everywhere.
Armed only with our FUJIFILM INsTAX MINI 8 CAMERA, a map, and our good looks, we braved the perils of insanely real-looking dinos, as well as turbulent weather and the loneliness of being two of the few people left in the park. Not only did we take photos with dozens of reptiles, including the infamous T-Rex (#trexselfie), but also our trusty guides were full of interesting facts and other tidbits about Jurassic life.
Unfortunately, there was little time for activities such as “Digging for Fossils,” but we did experience a dramatic rainstorm (perhaps intentionally) reminiscent to the one in the original movie.
Worried that the release of Jurassic World is too far away to quench your dino thirst? (That would be next summer, btw.) Nowhere near New York City and unable to visit Field Station: Dinosaurs without a flight and extensive planning? Well, lucky for you, there’s a new documentary DINOSAUR 13 set to be released in theaters on August 13. The documentary follows Peter Larson and his team of paleontologists as they discover the world’s largest, most complete Tyrannosaurus Rex fossil ever found and, subsequently, their 10-year battle for their rights to keep it. We dig it.
