T-Rex Visits Princeton Library This Summer

PRINCETON, NJ — Field Station: Dinosaurs is bringing its world tour to the Princeton Public Library this summer. The Field Station’s talented Dinosaur Troubadour will have kids singing and dancing along to original songs about dinosaurs. The visit, scheduled for Friday, June 16, 4 p.m., will conclude with an appearance by a 15-foot Tyrannosaurus rex. The Princeton Public Library is located at 65 Witherspoon Street.

This is the sixth consecutive year Field Station: Dinosaurs has been involved with New Jersey’s summer reading program. It will visit a total of 13 libraries as part of this summer’s tour. This year, the reading program’s theme is “Build A Better World.” The program is free.

“My love of dinosaurs came from some great books about them that I read during summers as a youngster right here in New Jersey,” said Guy Gsell, Executive Producer of Field Station: Dinosaurs. “Our Dinosaur Troubadour and our incredible T-rex are on a mission to share that same excitement about reading that I felt as a child and that’s why we love being part of the summer reading program.”

Field Station: Dinosaurs is a world-class family attraction that combines cutting-edge science with the creative minds of great artists and teachers to create a one-of-kind experience that's thrilling, educational and fun.

The Field Station is an oasis of natural wonder just minutes from New York City. Over thirty life-sized, realistic dinosaurs come to life thanks to the brilliant engineering of the world's leading roboticists and the imagination of our artists.

Scientists from the Bighorn Basin Paleontological Institute work to ensure that the exhibition encompasses the latest theories and discoveries in the fields of paleontology, geology, and environmental studies but at the center of it all is the fun, the joy and the wonder of dinosaurs.
