Initially, I could not make a direct connection between the great outdoors and dinosaurs, but I was glad we included Dinosaur State Park in our Outdoor Enthusiast series. The park has more than just dinosaur tracks. It is place where visitors can see and touch pieces of Connecticut's natural history. The park has an arboretum with samples of trees that may have existed in Connecticut when dinosaurs inhabited the area as well as a Discovery Room where visitors can touch real fossils and see a few modern-day ancestors of dinosaur-era animals. I got the chance to interview, Meg Enkler, the Park Supervisor. She explained the history of the park, guided us through the museum's gallery, and showed us the different activities at the park. Meg said that a popular activity at the park was dinosaur track casting. Visitors who bring their own materials can make a plaster casting of a real dinosaur print with the help of park employees. Luckily, the Media Lab Staffers were able to join the Mullen family as they made a casting. We were also able to go to the park's butterfly garden and explore a portion of the nature trail. We also stopped by the Discovery Room where we got to see fossils and a tank full of Hissing Cockroaches. These roaches were around since the age of dinosaurs and, apparently, make wonderful low-maintenance pets. I was pleasantly surprised by the variety of activities and resources at Dinosaur State Park. I hope more people visit the park and take advantage of all the activities available there. -Julia Kwon
