SUPER SCIENCE WEEKEND The New Jersey State Museum’s annual Super Science Weekend is a weekend-long festival intended to excite children of all ages about science with handson demonstrations and exhibits. This year’s festival will be particularly special, as we kick-off our celebration of the 150th Anniversary of the discovery of “Haddy”, the world’s first nearly complete dinosaur skeleton found anywhere in the world, excavated right here in New Jersey! Super Science Weekend 2008 will be held on Saturday and Sunday, May 17th – 18th, from 11am – 4pm each day, and is free and open to the public.
