Edelman Fossil Park: What to Know About Visiting South Jersey's New Dinosaur Museum
Submitted by Kaylynn Chiarel... on

Rowan University's much-anticipated Edelman Fossil Park & Museum is officially open in Mantua, and it is well worth a visit. Perfect for dinosaur lovers of all ages, this spot is filled with cutting-edge exhibits that give visitors a unique glimpse into the Cretaceous period, when these reptilian giants ruled the earth.
With the mission of helping people discover the past and protect the future, museum visitors can see more than 100,000 fossils from 100 different species, plus walk by life-like dinosaur models. On a recent visit, my daughter especially enjoyed the huge dinosaur replicas, and we're looking forward to coming back for a fossil dig.
