🦕 Backyard Terrors and Dinosaur Park
Backyard Terrors is a one-of-a-kind maker operation founded in 2007 by Chris Kastner, who began by hand-sculpting life-sized dinosaurs in his own backyard using chicken wire, foam, clay, and paint. What started as a single homemade dinosaur grew into a full outdoor dinosaur park through community donations and sheer creative passion.
Backyard Terrors Dinosaur Park is a non-profit, donation-only outdoor attraction open to all ages, featuring life-sized dinosaur sculptures displayed along graveled, educational trails. The park is open year-round, rain or shine.
What They Offer An outdoor dinosaur park open to the public on a donation basis, special events including Dinosaur Park in the Dark, birthday parties and field trips for schools and groups, the Fossil Findings Gift Shop, and a dinosaur sponsorship program.
