Dinosaurs have been the subjects of movies since the art form began. We explore the cinema this weekend with an in-depth movie workshop, while the kids make claymation dinosaur movies! Stay the day and enjoy an evening showing of the biggest dinosaur movie of all time, Jurassic Park. The movie is free, but space is limited. Sponsored by the City of Secaucus.

Hollywood has been in love with dinosaurs since the silent film era. The Long Island Motion Picture Arts Center & Museum presents two interactive exhibits with drop-in activities all day. This exhibit will demonstrate the magic of stop-motion using dinosaur figures, just like Willis O'Brien created in The Lost World and King Kong. This hands-on presentation will give your child the opportunity to create their very own dinosaur stop-motion film. The Long Island Motion Picture Arts Center & Museum will also exhibit the magic of green screen movie special effects. Be part of the action in Jurassic Park, as you feed an apatosaurus and run from T-Rex and other dinosaurs. The green screen process is used in almost all of Hollywood films. In this exhibit, experience the magic of movie special effects as you see yourself on the movie screen in the world of dinosaurs.
