This attraction costs about nine dollars per adult and slightly less for a child. It lasts, if you stroll very slowly, about 30 minutes. The dinosaurs are either plastic or concrete, I am not certain, but they are feeling fake. If you need to get the kids out of the car for some stroll, and you are around there and out of alternatives, you might consider this place. Otherwise I recommend you skip it.
Never new this is a park. Been driving by for years just ignored t rex on the side of the freeway. If not for my 2 and 5 yr old grandkids who wants to see the more expensive dinosaur exhibit, which incidentally has a lot of negative reviews, I would not even search for an alternative place. Kids had a blast going inside 2 dinosaurs. One is a gift shop inside the other you get to climb all the way to it's mouth. There are robotic dinosaurs in the 2nd gift shop. For 2 dollars a ride on the Dino's back the kids had a blast. There is also a mineral mining and dig. Overall its worth to pay almost 9 bucks for adults and 7 for kids over 2. After the kids have their fun its the grownups turn at the outlet down the street.
The place is in need of a makeover. Had some cool dinos but the all needed some love as did the grounds. All in all I didn't leave feeling cheated but It could have been much much better.
I have no idea hoe it came to pass that these gigantic dinosaur replicas came to being in the desert just west of Palm Springs, but they are so cool. Ifyou have kids, they're a must.
For those who love Peewee Herman, you'll be well familiar with these dinosaurs. Have been there for many years and are in surprisingly good shape for the age. You can seem them driving by on the highway and are basically in an Burger King parking lot. There is a museum you can pay for that allows you to go in the dinosaurs but you can just snap a picture from the outside as well.
Was here when I was a kid one then two when I brought my sons. Now a whole adventure park. My grandson loved it got to get close and touch them and they had robotic one's as well.
It was just Okay. I like to take in a little more of the natural beauty of California. This is a desert area.
OK - we needed gas so we took this opportunity to get off at the Cabazon exit, where the gas station is next to the dinosaurs. Took our kids here about 15 yrs ago. The dinosaurs are looking a bit tired, but if I had little kids who needed a roadtrip break -- this would be a good place to stop. Not sure if it is worth the admission price (so you decide whether you want to drive by / or pay admission) but definitely an unusual sight.
It's supposed to be open from 9:00 am to 7:30pm but every time i come through it is closed! It's looking really run down these days. I'm a local so I pass by often.
If you have seen The Wizard or Pee Wee's Big Adventure, then you are familiar with the dinosaurs. My husband and I took a day trip out here because this odd roadside attraction has been on my bucket list for years. I was sad to see that the Wheel Inn Restaurant had closed. It was still cool to climb in both dinosaurs, although I agree that the Dino museum is quite cheesy. It's probably better if you have kids. Still, I hope that this attraction can survive the loss of the restaurant. Cool place with a fun tie to 80's/90's movies!
