The highly anticipated Edelman Fossil Park & Museum of Rowan University is set to open its doors in March 2025. Located at 66 million Mosasaur Way in Mantua Township, NJ, this world-class museum will offer an immersive exploration of dinosaurs and other prehistoric species.

The museum will feature jaw-dropping exhibits, live animal encounters, and life-sized depictions of epic creatures that roamed the mid-Atlantic seaboard 66 million years ago. Visitors will have the unique opportunity to dig for real fossils at the only place in the world to see a preserved fossil ecosystem from the exact moment of the asteroid impact that marked the end of the dinosaurs.

The museum will also include immersive galleries, a hands-on Discovery Forest, live animals in Critter Cove, interactive exhibits, a thrilling free-roaming VR experience, a museum store, café, theater, scenic nature trails, and a paleontology-themed playground. The design team for the museum includes Ennead Architects (Design Architect), KSS Architects (Executive Architect), and G&A (Museum Planning & Experience Design)1.

The Edelman Fossil Park & Museum aims to inspire positive change by equipping visitors with the knowledge and tools to create a greener, more sustainable future for our planet. The museum is designed with sustainability at its core, featuring geothermal and electric systems that significantly reduce its carbon footprint1.

Stay tuned for upcoming ticket sales announcements and museum updates as we count down to the grand opening of this remarkable destination.
