Is Cabazon, California, really the home of the world’s biggest dinosaur? Probably not. But if you take the 10 Freeway west of Palm Springs, you’ll see a 150-foot-long steel-and-concrete Brontosaurus by the name of Dinny who has been claiming that title for almost 50 years. Dinny and the other dinosaurs on display at Cabazon Dinosaurs was the brainchild of a sculptor named Claude Bell, who wanted to attract customers to his roadside diner. The project took 11 years and $300,000 to finish in 1972. Since then, the diner has disappeared and Dinny has been joined by a Tyrannosaurus rex named Mr. Rex and more than 50 other smaller dinosaurs. They also helped draw tourists to what was briefly a creationist museum, but it was Pee-wee Herman who made them famous. So NBCLX storyteller Chase Cain took his 360-degree camera to have his own “Big Adventure” at this California curiosity.
