Why you should go…

Two giant dinosaurs stand beside Interstate 10 west of Palm Springs: Dinny, a 150-foot-long brontosaurus, and Mr. Rex, a 65-foot-tall Tyrannosaurus. Sculptor Claude K. Bell started Dinny in 1964 to draw customers to his Wheel Inn restaurant, and the site became famous through the 1985 film Pee-wee's Big Adventure. Today the park adds more than 100 other dinosaurs, a dino dig, a fossil and gemstone panning sluice, and a gift shop inside the Apatosaurus.
