Why not combine your love of road trips and dinosaurs and set off across the U.S. to discover these fun dinosaur roadside attractions?
There's nothing we love more than a good road trip.
Except maybe the roadside attractions we see along the way.
Somewhere in the 1950s and 1960s when automobiles, and the family road trip, started gaining popularity, highway businesses challenged themselves to draw customers in with quirky attractions. This is where a lot of roadside attractions got their start, including a lot of the roadside dinosaurs.
Keep in mind, a lot of these roadside attractions were built before the Interstates, so they are more commonly found along two-lane highways, which we all know are way more fun anyway.
You especially see a lot of these out west, but if you are on the right road, you can find a roadside dinosaur in practically every region of the United States.
