A little strange, but a great place to stop and take a photo. Go to the liquor store and get a token for the dragon to breathe out fire.

Great roadside attraction. Get your tokens at the liquor store or hardware store to see the dragon breathe fire.

Super cool! Make sure you read your coins before putting them in the box, they have a special message you can easily miss! Totally worth the stop if you're in the area. Little kids and adults will all love it!

Very cool attraction. Looks bigger in photos but was still a cool little stop on our path back to Alabama. The dragon shoots fire out of his mouth as you make a wish and watch.
