"We LOVED it!"
Dinosaurs have most kids' fascinated and it's no different with ours! The dinosaur exhibit was pretty extensive with many, many different types of dinosaurs. Outside was a walking trail through gardens with many different dinosaur statues leading to the large over-sized T-Rex! The T-Rex had stairs inside that you climbed up and into it's mouth looking out over the parking lot way below!
The museum itself had great information if you believe in God creating the earth, which we do! The robotic dinosaurs looked a little scary, but realistic, and even scared my 3 year old a bit. My 6 year old loved riding on the dinosaur ride though!
Our other favorites were the dinosaur dig where you search through sand like an archeologist for rocks that have dinosaur names on them. If you find a rock, you get a prize from the prize basket- everyone wins! Also, there's a panning for gemstones station where we searched for probably an hour for different types of rocks and gemstones- it was a big hit! :) I would definitely recommend visiting this museum, it's fantastic and definitely worth the price! You get so much for so little! :)

"If they're on your route somewhere..."
I went to these as a kid, so naturally I had to take my kid! Don't make a special trip, though, or you'll be disappointed. Cabazon is a tiny town off the 10 freeway, so if you're on your way to or from Palm Springs, stop on by. If you want, you can also hit the outlets.
The 2 giant dinosaurs sit in a dirt lot in the desert. You can go inside them & there is a gift shop with dino-related items. Not much else to do here, but the kids seem to enjoy it.
You might remember this place from Pee Wee's Big Adventure. Take some pictures, let the kids climb around the dinosaurs, then head off. Plan to spend less than an hour.

"Quick side-trip off the 10 freeway"
We were enticed to see the dinos after viewing the freeway billboard sign on our way home from Palm Springs. It's located off the Cabazon exit on the 10 freeway. It was pretty windy, too (not too far from the windmills).
We got some great photos with the T-Rex and brontosaurus, the world's largest dinos. We spent a few minutes oohing and aahing over the dinosaurs outside before we went on our way. Due to time constraints, we were not able to go into the museum. Maybe another visit.
