Though Daniella was born in New York and has lived in a couple of other states, Mississippi has been her home for more than 30 years. After graduating from the University of Southern Mississippi, Daniella began to hone her writing skills through various internships. In the years since, she’s had the privilege of having her articles appear in several publications, such as the Mississippi-based Parents & Kids Magazine. She’s also had the honor of interviewing actress Sela Ward for The Mississippi Arts and Entertainment Experience.
If you thought all parks were created equal, you haven’t been to Jurustic Park. Quirky to say the least, the park is home to an array of welded creations. Completely unique and wonderfully weird, the one-of-a-kind sculpture garden is sure to be unlike anything you’ve ever seen before. Take a look:
Located in Marshfield, Jurustic Park is part museum, part sculpture garden, and all parts fun.
The brain child of Clyde Wynia, the park is full of incredible welded creations. However, if you ask Clyde, who gives tours to visitors, he’ll tell you something a bit different.
Jurustic Park opened in 1993, which is fittingly the same year the movie Jurassic Park hit theaters. And just like the park in the movie, this park is home to dinosaurs, but that’s not all.
The sizes of the sculptures are just as varied as the species. Look around and you’ll find everything from knee-high creations to towering 20-foot giants.
Over the years, the park has grown to include hundreds of Clyde’s creations. Each piece includes signage, explaining the story behind it. And a few of them even move.
There’s more to see than Clyde’s sculptures, though. Jurustic Park also includes a Hobbit House, where you can peruse hand-blown glass jewelry created by Nancy Wynia, Clyde’s wife.
Unlike most attractions, a visit to Jurustic Park won’t break the bank. In fact, it won’t cost you a thing since admission is free (except for tour buses).
