Something huge will be happening tomorrow, June 20, 2013, at over 40 locations in Manhattan, Brooklyn and Hoboken, New Jersey. You will get to see approximately 50 people sporting a very unique fashion trend. They will conspicuously be wearing a very distinctive accessory that ties into the Bronx Zoo’s newest adventure, Dinosaur Safari.
Look out for the Bronx Zoo members who will be distributing cards with a promotional code for 20% off the Total Experience tickets (including Dinosaur Safari), and information on how to win a pair of FREE tickets to the Bronx Zoo by posting a photo of the street team on Instagram and tagging it with #dinotail.
The Dinosaur Safari street team members will be out from 12-6 in some of these locations (see full location below for more details).

Bronx Zoo Dinosaur Safari at the Bronx Zoo
It’s an event 200 million years in the making! This summer, Bronx Zoo guests will be immersed in the wonders of the prehistoric world as they hop aboard a paleontologist’s wagon and take an exciting journey back to a time when dinosaurs ruled the world. Visitors will encounter 16 large-scale majestic animated creatures, as well as baby dinosaurs and nests, representing numerous species that once roamed various areas of the globe.
The limited engagement outdoor exhibit setting will evoke a primeval forest where visitors will ride through a prehistoric environment that showcases the brilliant colors, scales, and fins that latest scientific research reveals may have adorned these incredible beasts. By comparing these adaptations of dinosaurs with similar features found in modern animals, the visitor will get insight into why animals look the way they do across time and the fascinating adaptations that help them thrive and survive.
Guests will disembark at the Dinosaur Safari Field site and experience what it feels like to be at an archeological dig. Guests can uncover fossils at three fossil digs, explore real dinosaur artifacts, pose for a picture atop a mighty T. rex, and even control a robotic Stegosaurus! Within the park, visitors can create hands-on dinosaur crafts and fossil rubbings, take home a memory from the dinosaur merchandise cart, catch the 4-D experience; Ice Age; Dawn of the Dinosaurs and watch the magical new theatrical performance of Adaptations! A Dinosaur Musical. It will be a dino-mite summer at the Bronx Zoo!

The Bronx Zoo is such a valuable cultural institution for the borough of the Bronx. It is great to see that they are being more creative with the family friendly activities that they offer.
