The Cabazon Dinosaurs are a roadside landmark just west of Palm Springs, California on Interstate I-10. Built in the 1960's to promote the nearby Wheel Inn diner on Seminole Drive in San Gorgonio Pass, Dinny the Dinosaur and Mr. Rex have been the most visible icons of Cabazon. 

Dinny the Dinosaur is also noted for being the first dinosaur in the world that was built to be used also as a building.

Today, Cabazon is mostly known for it's large complex of discount retail shopping outlets that draw thousands of people daily from all over southern California.
