Field Station: Dinosaurs Lists Dozens of Animatronics on Facebook Marketplace Ahead of Nov. 9 Closure

The owner is prioritizing institutions that will keep the creatures on public display.

Overview

  • Park staff posted two-dozen to more than 35 life-size dinosaurs for sale this week, drawing inquiries from across the country.
  • Listings show prices roughly between $500 and $3,500, including a T. rex at $2,700 and a 75-foot Apatosaurus at $2,860.
  • No sales have been finalized as the park seeks offers from museums, zoos, and universities before private buyers.
  • Buyers are responsible for deinstallation and transport, with pickup permitted only after the park closes on Nov. 9.
  • The Leonia attraction will shut its gates after this season, while its educational programming continues off-site at partner venues.
