Go back in time, all the way back to when dinosaurs roamed the earth for one DINO-mite time at the New York State Fair.

DINOSAUR EXPEDITION, an interactive, educational experience is coming back to the New York State Fair this summer for all 13 days. And it's all free with your admission ticket.

More than 60 life-size and life-like, prehistoric dinosaurs, ranging in size from 3 feet tall babies to full-grown 35-foot massive creatures spanning 80 feet long will roar into the Exposition Center on August 21, the fair's opening day.  Walk by a Tyrannosaurus Rex, Velociraptor, Brachiosaurus, and a Stegosaurus.

"The technology behind the movements and sounds that bring these dinosaurs to life is incredible and leaves you feeling as if you’ve been transported back in time," said Fair Director, Julie LaFave.
