The website Atlas Obscura likes quirky roadside attractions nearly as much as I do. It’s a fun site to check out, but I was a little hurt recently that Alabama was left of its list of “14 Roadside Dinosaur Attractions Worth the Stop.”

If you have a dino-obsessed family member, Alabama has no shortage of attractions to see and learn about dinosaurs. I’ve listed eight ways to see dinosaurs in Alabama, from statues to real fossils.

Four dinos in the woods

Barber Marina, 26986 Fish Trap Rd, Elberta, AL

George Barber, owner of Barber Motorsports in Leeds and Barber Marina in Elberta, likes to surprise visitors. He commissioned artist Mark Cline to build four massive dinosaurs to hide in the woods by the road to the marina.

When you see the Dinosaur Crossing sign, pull over and walk around to find a Tyrannosaurus rex, a brontosaurus, a stegosaurus and a triceratops.

Dinosaur Adventure Land

488 Pearl Lane, Repton, AL

This small theme park features dinosaurs but it also comes with a bit of controversy. The park’s purpose is to teach creationism.

Junkosaurus Wrecks

Barnyard Antiques, 4616 Desoto Parkway NE, Fort Payne AL

This 21-foot-tall replica of a tyrannosaurus rex was built by local engineer and artist Mike Goggans from found objects. The 1.5-ton sculpture known as Junkosaurus Wrecks can be seen near Barnyard Antiques.

Dinosaur Statue

Fairhopers Community Park, 105 South Church Street, Fairhope, AL

This community park managed by the City of Fairhope features a splash pad and playground. One of its most popular attractions is an oversized statue of a brontosaurus alongside a smaller brontosaurus.

Jurassic Golf

3800 Gulf Shores Parkway, Suite 142, Gulf Shores, AL

This indoor blacklight attraction features glow-in-the-dark dinosaur replicas displayed over a 5,000-square-foot miniature golf course.

You can see the fossils and models of several dinosaurs found in Alabama at:

Anniston Museum of Natural History

800 Museum Drive, Anniston AL

This museum has an exhibit called “Dynamic Earth” that features “life-sized casts of dinosaurs and aquatic reptiles, as well as life-sized Pteranodon and Albertosaurus models,” according to its website.

McWane Science Center

200 19th Street Noth, Birmingham, AL

McWane Science Center has “hundreds of cataloged Late Cretaceous mosasaurs and dinosaurs,” according to its website. The exhibit includes dinosaur fossils discovered in Alabama, but the most impressive is the Appalachiosaurus.

“A relative of T. rex, Appalachiosaurus was the dominant predator in Alabama during the Late Cretaceous Period,” the website says. “The bones on display in this exhibit come from the most complete Appalachiosaurus ever discovered and represent the most complete tyrannosaur ever found in the eastern half of the United States.”

Alabama Museum of Natural History

Smith Hall, 427 Sixth Avenue, University of Alabama, Tuscaloosa, AL

Exhibits in this museum operated by the University of Alabama include “dinosaurs such as a skull of the famous Tyrannosaurus rex and multiple bones of Cretaceous dinosaurs found in Alabama,” the website said. “One of the most complete skeletons of mosasaurs in the world, nicknamed Artemis, is a true gem of the museum.”
