Help improve Atlas Obscura by expanding Jerrassic Park - Metal Dinosaur Park with additional information or photos.

Outside the gates of the Military Aviation Museum in Virginia Beach is a magnificent menagerie of metal dinosaurs.

All the usual suspects are present, raptors, stegosaurus, triceratops, ankylosaurus, brontosaurus, pterodactyl, apatosaurus, woolly mammoth, saber tooth tiger, and even baby dinosaurs emerging from eggs. The dinosaur sculptures are situated around paths that encircle a pond.

Know Before You Go

The park is free and open to the public. Parking can be found under the pines across the driveway from the park.
