A backyard set of impressive sculptures, and the only place where we've seen a full-sized T-Rex posed playing a mandolin.

One of the best home-based dinosaur collections I've ever seen! The vignettes are clever. Some of the dinosaurs could use a facelift.

What a fun place. You have to park across the street at the restaurant and walk.

Non-commercial display. Over 35 hand built dinosaur sculptures in a wooded garden setting, featuring a 40 foot T-Rex. Quiet and arty, family oriented. Nothing for sale.
