After 14 years of offering an epic walk-through dinosaur experience, Field Station: Dinosaurs in Leonia will close its doors on November 9. But not before giving fans one last chance to bring home a piece of the prehistoric fun. The Bergen County attraction is selling its life-sized animatronic dinosaurs on Facebook Marketplace, from a 29-foot stegosaurus to a 39-foot-tall T. rex.
