A dinosaur sculpture

Dinosaur Gardens is perhaps best known for its seemingly out-of-place Christian imagery.[3] For example, visitors are greeted at the entrance by a statue of Jesus holding a globe in his left hand. The belly of a Brontosaurus sculpture on the property includes a display proclaiming Jesus as “The Greatest Heart”.[4]
