If you're going to Half Moon Bay, this is a nice little place to stop by for a quick photo op. My boys love dinosaurs so they took pictures, ran around for a while but then there was nothing else To do. Nice little 15 minute stop before heading out to where we were really going to spend our day.

The fantastic iron sculptures catch your eyes, and there is the most amazing "wooly" mammoth but once you go into the shop area it is a bit of a disappoint. If I had kids with me, I would have wondered were are the small toy dinosaurs ?

Maybe I was expecting too much but the word "town" meant something bigger than a big farm house with multiple shops to me but this was exactly what it was. I'm not much of a knick knack shopper but if others are, they should drop by. There are shops with lamps,souvenirs, and of course lots of fountains and garden/yard theme... More

It was funny. We were driving around and saw this place by chance. Look a dinosaur we yelled out as we passed the side of a windy road. You don't see that everyday so we stopped by. WOW. There are many of them and then two giraffes. Funny. We took pictures of these creatures and then headed for the shops.... More

No idea this was an attraction! The dinos are great - love looking at them, but you definitely want to make sure you aren't going during peak tourist season, or you'll never get into or leave the parking lot! If you do go, take a walk through the rest of Spanishtown and Fabbri's statues.

Don't attempt to visit unless you're on that side of the road. Hwy 92 is one lane each way at that point, and if you try to turn left into the lot, you'll cause a wreck. When you're trying to leave, if you try to turn left to get back onto 92 heading towards HMB, you'll wait a long time.... More

About 1 mile from Hwy 1 toward San Mateo on 92 is Spanishtown. Here there is a huge collection of garden scuptures and other pottery items. Look for the huge Metal sculptures of Dinosaurs by the road and turn in. Walk around and take wonderful pictures. Great for Kids. Roger
