The dinosaurs could definitely use a new coat of paint, but they are still fun to see. Please note there are quite a few stairs to climb from the parking lot.
[Anne Christiansen, 06/26/2020]There are several overlook points on Skyline Drive - in addition to the breathtaking dinosaurs. It's a steep and curvy drive, but it's a quick trip from downtown and the views are worth it. Take a photo at the next overlook up, and you'll have a proud dinosaur on the crest of the hill in the distance.

This park is off the road and up a mountain. There is no parking for campers or large vehicles. It is a very steep road, not a good choice if you are towing something.

It's one of America's oldest dinosaur attractions, built on the crest of a hill overlooking Rapid City, apparently with no forethought that behemoths might again roam the Earth.
