Well that was it: had to return the next day with the grandkids and the grand nieces and nephews. We did everything: Chased the frogs and caught a... More

I'm a sculptor and painter and I love this place. The art is fun and some is interactive, the setting in the woods is beautiful and it feels really easy to access and enjoy a relaxing time in a beautiful place with whimsical sculptures. A great place for family. More

I've been to many museums that survive off Govt grants on the order of tens of millions of dollars.

Take your whole family and check this place out.  More

Friends and I came upon this place on our snowmobiles. There was a campfire already lit and free hot chocolate and snacks. We drove through the park and The sculptures were awesome! Wish I could have gone through during the daylight hours. Definitely worth the extra time to go through. More
