Kids enjoy visiting the Dinosaur Carnival

Parents and kids looking for a fun-filled way to spend their holiday break paid a visit to the Dinosaur Carnival at the Center for Science, Teaching, and Learning in Rockville Centre.

The five-day event provided families with the chance to witness these prehistoric marvels up close while enjoying several dinosaur-themed activities, games, face painting, refreshments, giveaways, and prizes.

“The Center for Science, Teaching, and Learning has created a fun and interactive educational experience for our families here on Long Island,” CSTL Executive Director Ray Ann Havasy said. “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.”

The only attraction of its kind on Long Island, the CSTL dinosaur exhibit provides visitors with the unique opportunity of learning more about these extinct creatures and the ways that these cold-blooded reptiles evolved. The live animals exhibit also provides families with the opportunity to interact with an assortment of wild critters face-to-face, including owls, emus, golden pheasants, goats, alligators, lizards, turtles, frogs, and more.

The CSTL is an education-based not-for-profit organization located in the center of the Tanglewood Preserve, an 11-acre park and nature center on Long Island, where people of all ages can learn bout science and the environment. To find out more, visit CSTL.org.
