For a real adventure, travel back in time on our real Steam Train to the Ol’ Susquehanna Mine located on the Snyder Farm in Carpentersville NJ. The Snyder Farm’s archaeological treasures are registered with the New Jersey State Museum and have been studied for many years by archaeologists from Temple University. Once at the Ol’ Susquehanna each guest takes the mine tour and learns about the unique history of the Ol’ Susquehanna Mine. After witnessing the exploding mine shaft and history tour the guests learn how to pan for fossils! Each guest receives a bag of fossil-bearing ore. There are over 20 different fossils along with a beautiful identifying card!

Dinosaur Show – Field Paleontologists Mike and Roberta Straka will take you on a scientific exploration highlighting the world of dinosaurs, fossils and rocks/minerals. Each summer, the team explores the Badlands of North and South Dakota excavating dinosaurs. This fun-filled wow-factor show will cover the formation of fossils and herbivores vs. carnivores. We will discuss our work as field paleontologist and our background in geology in a relatable way with entertainment, humor, magic and real fossils. The presentation will feature:
- “Mr. Nixon”, a real eight-foot Triceratops skull discovered by our team in 1996 and is 67 million years old
- A real Albertosaurus skull will highlight the features of a carnivore.
- Original music
- Songs
- Show & tell with rare fossils
- A touch of magic which includes a special “egg magic trick” which segues to *presentation of a real dinosaur egg fossil
- “Dinosaur Game Show” will round out the show.
