Very educational along with tons of fun; the people working there know their stuff and have a passion for their work. [Mark, 08/13/2010]
Rusty Mammoth Statue A huge rusty mammoth statue! He's been standing on that hill for as long as I can remember. Clearly visible from the 60 freeway. [Kindra, 06/25/2009][RA: It is a mammoth, and it's made of now-rusted iron. It's also a cryptic billboard for the nearby Jurupa Cultural Center, which is surrounded by other rusty extinct animals.]
I have really only seen this place from the fwy and have not visited it yet. You apparently take a walking tour through the Jurupa Mountain Cutural Center; at the end of the tour you will find fossils. [Samantha Ramirez, 06/18/2002]
