From the
Interstate Highway, the uncommon view of two giant
dinosaurs, on an arid plain surrounded by mountains, is
an irresistible magnet. But tourists are not the only
ones compelled to stop. Well within a convenient day-drive
of the Los Angeles sphere, the Cabazon Dinosaurs are media darlings
appearing often in commercials, music
videos, film and print ads.
The dinosaurs were built over 30 years ago. The apatosaurus
(formely known as the brontosaurus) took eleven years to build and is the
biggest dinosaur in
the world. The belly of Dinny hosts an awesome
store with something for everyone. The
T-Rex, affectionately known as "Mr. Rex", took seven
years to build.
Over 12,000,000 people each year see the
giant dinos from Interstate 10.
