The Edelman Fossil Park and Museum in Sewell, NJ, allows visitors to explore ancient history through exhibits and hands-on activities. With the world's first nearly complete dinosaur skeleton discovered nearby, Dr. Kenneth Lacovara emphasizes the region's significance in paleontology. Visitors can dig for fossils in a quarry, making real discoveries. The museum features life recreations of dinosaurs, including Dryptosaurus and Hadrosaurus, as well as a Monstrous Seas exhibit highlighting the region's prehistoric aquatic life. This unique educational experience combines science with interactive learning for all ages.
When you think of dinosaurs, you might think of Montana or Patagonia, but you should think of New Jersey because the world's first nearly complete dinosaur skeleton was found 11 miles from here in Haddonfield, New Jersey.
If they go into that quarry and they try just a little bit, they're going to find the 66 million year old fossil with their own hands and they get to take it home.
It's a legitimate discovery. It's an authentic piece of science that they are seeing with their own eyes for the first time.
The museum has full scale life recreations of dinosaurs and sea creatures as well as interactive exhibits.
