Edelman Fossil Park & Museum
Edelman Fossil Park & Museum
Opening Soon: Rowan University is proud to announce the launch of Edelman Fossil Park & Museum of Rowan University in Mantua, NJ.
Edelman Fossil Park & Museum serves as both an extraordinary public resource and a vital part of the University’s institutional mission to educate and demonstrate research in critical areas, including plant and animal biodiversity, earth sciences and environmental responsibility, all through the gateway study of paleontology.
Supported generously by Rowan University alumni Jean ’81 and Ric ’80 Edelman, EFM is an immersive museum experience designed to transport visitors 66 million years back in time to discover the days of the dinosaurs, as well as teach about the present and future.
The museum features full-scale dinosaur sculptures, an interactive fossil scavenger hunt, free-roaming virtual reality and live animal exhibits. Outdoors, visitors can have a hands-on experience to find fossils in the quarry, observe paleontologists in active research and enjoy the dinosaur-themed playground with accessible features.
Discover the Past. Protect the Future.
