Reptiland Rt 15, Allenwood Reptile Zoo & Animatronic Dinosaur Park   Adult 12 & Up - $20 Children 3-11 - $16 They offer a membership that is very reasonable if you plan to visit a few times each year.  We visit weekly, with our grandsons, who love this place.  In our experience, the shows are too long for an average preschooler, but watch for their story time events [fall and winter], and live animal encounter times, those are very popular with our 4 year old.
