Independence, Kansas - Dinosaurs, Nursery Rhyme scenes

In the middle of Riverside Park are these huge dinosaurs, at least two -- a stegosaurus and a brontosaurus -- surrounded by fences. Another interesting thing about the park is that it was where the first monkey sent into space was born. Also, part of the park has a lot of nursery rhyme stuff like three huge bears, a giant pumpkin that an adult can walk into, Miss Muffet in front of a large spiderweb, a huge hippo water drinking fountain, there is so much at this park!
