Dino Kinetics Big metal dinosaurs! It's only 3-5 minutes from I-26. Learn the artists story and it's even better. [Rebekah, 08/19/2010][RA: Not a tourist attraction. But if you don't mind seeing scrap metal dinosaurs in a gallery...]
Dino Kinetics Not really a roadside oddity. Not worth the detour. [Stephanie, 07/01/2010]
Dino Kinetics Museum showcasing the life work of now deceased local sculptor John Payne: 15 massive kinetic dinosaur and bird marionettes built from scrap steel. Hauntingly beautiful hand-built sculptures set in motion via complicated systems of winches, pulleys and steel cables. Inspiring feat of unschooled intuitive engineering. Visitors can operate the machines using video game controllers. 45 foot Tyrannosaurus Rex!
Set up by the artist's apprentices and run by the family. [Chas Llewellyn, 06/19/2010]
