Calling all dino enthusiasts! Meet and interact with Terry the T-Rex and his other realistic animatronic dinosaur and puppet friends, learn something new, and dig for fossils!

Join us for a fun and educational afternoon with the experts from DinosaursArise! They will teach kids and their families about dinosaurs and help everyone try out their paleontology skills as we dig for fossils.

The highlight of the afternoon will surely be meeting the stars of the show – Terry the 8-foot-tall T-Rex, Ruby the baby raptor puppet, and animatronic twin triceratops Kota and Lota. You won’t want to miss this amazing event! Please register as space is limited. 

This program is generously funded by the Ocean County Library Foundation and Friends of the Pt. Pleasant Borough Branch.
