A dinosaur park of hand-built concrete creatures and cavemen. Don't miss Jesus -- he's inside the brontosaurus. A giant folk art Jesus in the parking lot welcomes passers-by.

When you pull in to get pictures at Dinosaur Gardens there is Jesus. You can't miss him. Don't recall seeing him there before. Nice statue.

I've driven by Dinosaur Gardens several times, but finally stopped today. The dinosaurs are in good shape. I really loved seeing them up close and would recommend them to everyone. The sculptor put in a lot of work, and it shows.

"Jesus Holds The World" (or whatever his official title might be) has been a welcoming fixture at Dinosaur Gardens since 1957. When we first saw him in the early 1990s the paint was totally faded. Nice to see the current upkeep.
