Did you know there is a gift shop in the long dinosaur? Yup! Great photo stop and some memories of Pee-Wee's Big Adventure for the '80s movie lovers.

The dinosaur from Pee Wee's Big Adventure!

For years, the Cabazon Dinosaurs could be seen from I-10 in both directions. Now you must get off the 10 to have a good view.

Robotic dinos work well and everything seems to be maintained. Definitely a cool place to bring kids. Sitting where Pee-Wee Herman did in the mouth of the T-Rex was a bonus. Worth the price of admission. Oh, and the Creationist signs? Easy to ignore and didn't spoil the visit.
[Drumbabe, 10/16/2010]The Dinosaurs are a blast to visit. Although there are Creationist posters, I just chose to ignore them. No one tried to force feed it.Entry fee has increased to $6.95 but it is worth it. I also found a 3-D Dinosaur coloring book that is real cool, jumps right out of the page.
