Our segment on Better Connecticut this week was all about Dinosaur State Park located right in Rocky Hill. We got a chance to check out the REAL dinosaur footprints that were discovered there in 1966 and share with Melissa Cole why we think this destination is such a great learning place for children (and adults too!).
There was still snow on the ground the day we taped at the park so we weren’t able to venture out onto the trails, but we also chatted about the trail system at the park and the variety of outdoor activities available there too.
For more information on Dinosaur State Park check out our post on the Dinosaur State Park Exhibit Center and the Dinosaur State Park Trails.
And tune back into Better Connecticut next Thursday (April 23rd) at 3:00 pm when we will be in studio. You could even come and see us live as part of their studio audience 🙂
