Oakdale - Montville, Connecticut - The Dinosaur Place The Dinosaur Place has a really great T. Rex statue out in front. When I went by, he was wearing shades and holding a Coke can that kind of ruined the effect, but I suppose that's his summer attire.
There are 25 other dinosaur statues along the park's trails, including one that I could see through the fence that was at least 30 feet tall. Unfortunately, I was on my way to a meeting and couldn't take the time to see the rest of them. There's also a maze, a water park, and a place for kids to dig for gems and fossils.

Chesterfield, Connecticut - Life Size T-Rex As of about October 2000, there is a life size and very realistic
looking Tyrannosaurus Rex on Rt 85 in Montville/Chesterfield. The critter is in
the parking lot of Nature's Art," a combination Museum/Gem/Mineral/Gift Shop. It
even has lighted red eyes after dark. [Lance J., 02/04/2001]
