We went back to š¦ Dino Safari Festival by LuminoCity at Walt Whitman Shops with the fam and friends, and the kids had just as much fun as they did last year! We already knew they loved it, but there are a bunch of new and upgraded things for 2026, so it definitely felt different this time around.
There are 70+ animatronic and illuminated dinosaurs throughout the nearly 3-acre experience, plus lots of activities along the way.
The kids were especially excited about the Safari Train Ride, which is new to NY this year and takes you right through the glowing prehistoric landscape. šš¦ And of course, we spent plenty of time at the upgraded Bounce Zoneāthe new Volcano Bounce is HUGE and the Triceratops Bounce was another hit. The kids spent about an hour in the Bounce Zone.
Make sure you stay until it gets dark because thatās when everything really lights up! The new Neon Octo-Beats was so coolāa giant glowing octopus with music and lights. šš¶ Thereās also Dino Speedway (my kids fave), Safari Dig, a playground, LED seesaws, photo ops and more to keep the kids busy.
Definitely a fun fall night out with the kids, especially if you have little dinosaur fans! Thanks for having us š¦š Use code MINI for 15% off tickets šļø
