Hawks Greenhouse completely shuns North Pole's Christmas theme and instead displays enormous planters shaped as a dinosaur, bonnet-bearing pioneer ladies, and a horse. The ladies and horse symbolize Alaska's pioneer settlers and the dinosaur reminds us all that even large reptiles could not survive such harsh winters.
These sculptures are planted with flowers during the summer, so be sure to visit then to see their more colorful version.

Bamahenge at entrance, stay right to see T-rex and two others. Number four is across the road -- follow the small path.

It was a bit confusing where to go after the first dinosaur. Travel to the right of the dinosaur to see the rest. Don't waste your time going off to the left.

Dinosaurs look great. Repainted and standing tall. Had some work done to them since I saw them a few years ago.
[Richard Williams, 06/12/2019] - Elberta, Alabama - Dinosaurs in the Woods
The dinosaurs are all in great shape! There is a small dirt access road that connects the three on the right side of the road (going toward Barber Marina). The fourth dinosaur (a brontosaurus) is on the left, and a little harder to both spot and to get to. The combination of dinosaurs, Bamahenge, and Lady in the Lake make this area well worth the drive.

Bamahenge and the dinosaurs were far enough inland to be spared the wrath of September's Hurricane Sally.
