The popular 1985 comedy film Pee Wee's Big Adventure filmed several scenes around the dinosaurs.
According to director Tim Burton in the film's DVD commentary, many people thought the dinosaurs were built for the movie and did not realize they were part of a real roadside attraction.
The Wheel Inn cafe was also the location of the infamous "Large Marge" scene.

The dinosaurs and Wheel Inn appear in the music video of Everybody Wants To Rule The World (1985) by the English pop group Tears for Fears.

The dinosaurs appear in a scene at the end of The Wizard (1989).

In 1994, Huell Howser Productions, in association with KCET/Los Angeles, featured the dinosaurs (along with the nearby Hadley's Fruit Orchards store) in Visiting...with Huell Howser; the 29-minute program is available on VHS.
A repeat visit by Howser was made in 1999.

The dinosaurs, particularly Mr. Rex, are referenced in Fallout: New Vegas.
The town of Novac is home to Dinky, a concrete T. rex that functions as both a gift shop and a sniper's nest.
