Dinosaur Containment 

Dinosaurs, giant plants, carnivorous squirrels, and other awesome creatures have escaped containment and are hiding in libraries, state parks, and museums to keep cool this summer! 
We need your help to collect them all and get them safely home. 

How does it work? 
1. 
Pick up a free containment booklet from one of the participating libraries, the Dinosaur State Park, the Yale Peabody Museum, or the Joe Web Peoples Museum any time from ​June 15th until August 21st. 

2. For each location that you visit, you receive a special stamp in your containment booklet.

3.
To be entered in the Grand Prize Raffle, return your 5+ stamped booklet to one of the participating institutions and enter to win.

A full list of participating institutions can be found in the Kid's Place drop-down menu above.

To enter the Grand Prize Drawing, please see a participating library for next steps once you've visited at least 5 locations.
