When you're out in the Hamptons your usual radius of events is within the Hamptons. Boy am I glad I ventured out of my comfort zone!!! When Dino Safari contacted Macaroni Kid Hamptons and offered a media pass I jumped on the chance! Me and my three kids hopped in the car and drove a little over an hour. When pulling into the Tanger Outlet Center in Deer Park, NY and actually seeing the Dino Safari set up, we were blown away. Note to everyone, if you have a long drive like we did to attend this event, FEAR NOT, there are bathrooms set up in the parking lot BEFORE you enter. You can easily park, go, and then pull up to the greeting station.
Upon arrival we were greeted by the friendliest people who were dressed to the nines in safari gear. They asked for my name and how many children I had in the car. All the kids received a passport to mark off as they went through the safari, as well as crayons and a plastic egg...more to come on the egg. Then the greeters asked a very important question "did you download the free app?" "What? No" I said. So we had to pull over. Note to everyone ---download the app before you go!!! DinoSafari in the app store. It's free and you need it while you drive thru the park. There's tons of really awesome facts and it really makes your drive thru experience come alive. The best part of all this is you can stay in your car UNMASKED the whole time!! It's especially awesome if you have a sun roof.
All the names of the dinosaurs were clearly marked and easy to read, there was no rush, we drove at a steady 5 mph and were able to take pictures. The dinosaurs move and roar as if they were real. It was incredible. Worried this may be scary for your little one? It wasn't scary at all! The roars aren't over whelmingly loud and the dinosaurs move slowly. The entire adventure takes around 20 minutes. Just before the end there is a display you can look at with all the merchandise items and prices so as you finish your safari you and your child/children can decide what you would like. We opted for slime and a growing dino egg. There's also plushies and t-shirts! Bring your credit card because cash payments are not an option!
Bet you are wondering about the egg. At the end of the safari there is the mighty T-REX, her baby, and her nest! You throw the egg from your car into the nest
