Man, I wish you could take pictures with these -- so much fun.
[Nina G~, 03/20/2022]George Boedecker, founder of the Crocs shoe company, has amassed a collection of sculptures in his front yard, mostly dinosaurs. The downside of this attraction is that his home is on a small two-lane road without a place to pull off or stop.
His gate is often open to provide a better view, but don't enter, it's private property. We just kept turning around and driving by again. Not a place to get out and wander, but definitely something to drive by and say, "Did i just see what I think I saw?"
[garrett parker, 11/18/2020]Boedecker's "front yard" is the size of a small town. Most of the land is behind a gated fence, but Boedecker has said that he hopes to build a parking area by his driveway entrance so that people can stop.
