Chris Kastner's back yard -- which covers six acres -- is populated with dozens of life-size dinosaurs and "The Funhouse," a haunt attraction only open a few days a year. Both are impressive.

Great little stop; make sure to bring cash. It's free to get in, but they accept donations and have items for purchase at the gift shop.

Don't let the fact that this park is homemade prevent you from visiting. The owner has put a lot of work into this place. Many dinosaurs from various periods are represented. The tiny gift shop operates on the honor system.

Fun stop for the family to get out and stretch our legs. New additions were obvious, and we could hear more construction happening.

The owner is lovely! We found him in the shop and he took us on a behind-the-scenes tour of the carnival!
