The Center for Science will be hosting an end-of-the-year Dinosaur Carnival at its Dinosaurs! Exhibit in Rockville Centre. Children and families will enjoy games, face painting, dino activities, giveaways and prizes. The Carnival will be open on Monday, Dec. 26, 27, 29, 30 and 31 (Closed on Wednesday, Dec. 28).
Tickets are $12 for children ages 2-13, $15 for children and adults ages 14 and up and $12 for seniors over 65. The carnival is free for anyone who has paid admission into the exhibit. Refreshments such as cotton candy and more will be available for purchase. Tickets can be purchased at the door.
“As we approach the end of the year, families are looking for activities to do during the holiday break. The Center for Science has created a fun and interactive educational experience for our families here on Long Island. Through the exhibit’s Dinosaur displays, children and their parents can engage in various activities while learning about the adaptation and evolution of dinosaurs and animals that live right around us today,” said Dr. Ray Ann Havasy, executive director of The Center for Science.
The Dinosaurs! and Live Animals Exhibit is the only family tourist and educational attraction of its kind on Long Island. The exhibit gives visitors a unique and up-close-and-personal experience where they can learn how animals adapt and survive, which is demonstrated through a unique intermixing of dinosaur models and live animals together.
Families and children can also enjoy floor-to-ceiling hand-painted prehistoric dinosaur murals and an assortment of live wild animals, including owls, emus, golden pheasants, goats, alligators, lizards, turtles, frogs and more.
