Cabazon Dinosaurs, Roadside attraction in Cabazon, United States.
Two monumental concrete and steel dinosaurs stand along Interstate 10, featuring a 150-foot Brontosaurus and 65-foot Tyrannosaurus rex visible from the highway.
Artist Claude Bell initiated the construction of Dinny the Brontosaurus in 1964 to attract customers to his Wheel Inn restaurant, completing it in 1975.
The dinosaur sculptures gained national recognition through their appearance in the 1985 film Pee-wee's Big Adventure and numerous music videos.
The attraction operates daily from 9 AM to 6 PM Monday through Thursday and until 7 PM Friday through Sunday, with admission fees ranging from 11 to 15 dollars.
Inside the Brontosaurus structure, visitors discover a gift shop offering dinosaur merchandise, while the site includes a fossil panning station for educational experiences.
