As a longtime dinophile and autodidact, the emergence of Jurassic World and its reborn dinosaurs has long held only the utmost of fascination as a field of academic inquiry for me. Without hesitation I purchased the Hammond Package to inspect these resurrected anachronistic animal anomalies. I was delighted through and through by their appearance, and the presence of Jurassic era vermiform plantlife only added to that acclaim. My only regret is that Hammond et al. had to cut corners with the amphibian DNA viz-a-viz hybridization. You don’t need to be a birder to know that dinosaurs were feathered.

My son Mason has always loved dinosaurs. More than trucks, more than soccer, more than video games. It was the dream of a lifetime to send him to the park walking in the footsteps of literal dinosaurs and giants in the field of paleontology. This was the perfect tour package for him—any other school trip is just a “paleo” imitation.
