Come and see one man's life dream and accomplishment. This dinosaur park was built from 1935 to 1970 by a man called Paul Domke. The park itself is situated on 20 acres of mature forest, with a most unique trail leading you back in time...Time when the earth was ruled by dinosaurs. Stroll next to life-size replicas of a number of dinosaurs as well as cavemen and Ice Age animals. Some exhibits even provide a bird’s-eye view with steps and an entrance right into the replicas. Over 26 exhibits along the trail! Dinosaur Gardens also features a self-serve frozen yogurt bar, a mini golf course, snack bar, and souvenir shop. This is a property that has been featured in Life Magazine, multiple newspapers, on television, and in Hollywood travelogues. You will thoroughly enjoy a stroll with the life-size dinosaurs.
