The Cabazon Dinosaurs are a set of giant dinosaur sculptures located in Cabazon, California, USA. The sculptures were built in the 1960s and 1970s by Claude K. Bell, a local artist and sculptor. The two main sculptures are a Tyrannosaurus rex, known as "Rex", and an Apatosaurus, known as "Dinny". | |
The dinosaurs are made of steel and concrete and stand at over 65 feet (20 meters) tall. Rex is posed in a menacing stance with his jaws open, while Dinny is more relaxed, with a saddle on his back that visitors can climb up to. The Cabazon Dinosaurs have become a popular roadside attraction and have been featured in several movies, including "Pee-wee's Big Adventure" and "The Wizard". The dinosaurs also serve as a museum, with a small gift shop and displays of fossils and other dinosaur-related items. In recent years, the Cabazon Dinosaurs have been renovated and updated, with new exhibits and activities added for visitors. Today, they remain a popular destination for families and dinosaur enthusiasts alike. |
