Kids love dinosaurs. Don’t buy them expensive video games. Treat ‘em to a big bag of comically colorful rubber t-rexes and triceratops, and let them turn your coffee table into the big herbivore meets carnivore battle!

To help them discover their love for dinosaur, take them to the Academy of Natural Sciences to see the brand new exhibit celebrating Hadrosaurus Folkii, our first dinosaur superstar. He (or she) is a local legend, found exactly 150 years ago near Hopkin’s Pond in Haddonfield, and the first completed dinosaur skeleton ever exhibited.

The creative folks at the Academy have created a delightful, charming exhibit that transports you back to the Mid 19th Century, and reintroduces important characters from that era who really deserve be part of our collective consciousness, even today.

The Academy has created all sorts of kooky events to tie in with the run of this cool exhibit. Take the kids, then clear the coffee table!
