Roadside Dinosaurs

OHIO

Prehistoric Forest
Marblehead, OH
2005
2009

This Prehistoric Forest was built around 1963 - the same year as the Prehistoric Forest in Onsted, MI. These 19 dinosaurs and other creatures were also created by James Sidwell. The Marblehead location also had a train ride and toy rifles for the kids to shoot at the monsters. In the 1980s, the place closed and the figures were vandalized over the years. When it reopened in the mid-1990s, it was scaled back to a walking tour. The current owner is actively restoring all the dinosaur figures. The dinosaur in front of the place (top row) has been restored. I'm not sure about the other statues inside. There is also a mini golf course and "Mystery Hill" - one of those gravity-gone-wrong places. For more, see their website.

Stegosaurus
Cleveland, OH

This Stegosaurus stands in front of the Cleveland Museum of Natural History. He is known as "Steggie II". The statue was created by Louis Paul Jonas in 1968. For more, see this website.

Dinosaurs
Cincinnati, OH

These two Cincinnati Dinosaurs were installed in front of the Cincinnati Museum Center (Union Terminal) in 2009. They are there for the duration of the Dinosaurs Unearthed and Dinosaurs Alive exhibits.
