Cabazon Dinosaurs

Cute. They're about as accurate as the Flintstones, but the kids will love it. Save your money, though; just look from outside and take pictures.

Dinosaurs newly painted, but the Pee-Wee restaurant has been demolished... Bummer!

The Cabazon Dinosaurs still stand in 2016. This is where part of Pee Wee's Big Adventure was filmed.

Dino and kids.

Cabazon Dinosaurs

Great for kids! Can bring dogs and walk them around the outside part of the dinosaurs. Dogs can't go into the gift shop.

Inside the T-Rex.

Cabazon Dinosaurs

Think they've taken down lots of the creationist stuff. Only saw 3 little posters inside the T-Rex, so don't avoid just because of that.
