Has anyone here ever visited the Crystal Palace dinosaurs in London?

I was looking up information about the Crystal Palace because I first found out about it through the dinosaur statues. Sadly, the Crystal Palace is not there anymore (it burned down in 1936), but the dinosaur statues still exist. I remember reading about them as a kid and seeing pictures of them. I do realize that they're extremely inaccurate, but they're still very cool to look at because it shows the early history of paleontology and dinosaur research, and what the Victorian era imagined dinosaurs to look like. If I ever visit London, I'd definitely go visit them!

I'd also like to go there to look at the dinosaur models one day when I get to see London.
