Backyard Terrors and Dinosaur Park

Backyard Terrors and Dinosaur Park is a non-profit attraction started by a local man to share his love of dinosaurs with kids of all ages. There are over 20 prehistoric animals all life-size ( though not always adult specimens ) with more on the way. It has a small picnic area and a gift shop. Admission is free; just make a donation if you want; it all goes back into helping the park grow.
