Grounds For Sculpture, Hamilton

Worth the trip! Located in Hamilton, NJ with plenty of parking and beautiful grounds to explore. Of course the main attraction is the various sculptures of various sizes. The grounds are mostly flat and easy to navigate. Several restaurants on site but two were completely closed when we visited and the other was closed for a wedding. A small cafe with ice cream, water, and limited snacks was open but they ran out of most choices by 4pm. The large sculptures are sturdy and mostly touchable so supervised children can enjoy the art without being constantly told not to touch. There are a few air-conditioned galleries with restrooms so if you visit on a hot day, find them for a break from the sun.

What a lovely and interesting place to visit! The grounds are beautiful and sculptures of various kinds adorn the landscape. Some are tucked away and appear as a scene from a story. Others are large and bold, making statements. The human figures were so realistic. On occasion, my husband and I had to do a double take. It was unanimous that we would return and spend a little more time on the premises since there were quiet places in which we could sit and take in the scenery. There were various other buildings on the grounds containing art and instruction. Informational videos and various works of art were also present in the entrance hall. We came on a weekday and it was not crowded. The entrance fee was reasonable. A gift shop, small café, and restrooms were available, as well as ample parking. Overall, it was an excellent experience.

They have timed tickets that need to be purchased online only. We were able to order them online while we had lunch at Rat's Restaurant. There was a wedding reception at Rat's which was beautifully decorated. Honestly we thought it would be a nice walk after eating but couldn't believe how huge the grounds actually were. We didn't have nearly enough time to spend exploring it. Will definitely go back when we have more time to spend and see the other 1/2 if not more we didn't see.

I went as a group so the price was a little cheaper than normal. Once inside the premise of the area, it felt like I was in a different world. The sculptures ranged from abstract to portraits to a room that was functional but everything was painted. The exhibits and pathways are all very nice, and the views of the lake and the sculptures all Sum for a great experience. There's even a place where you can try using sculpting techniques to make your own sculptures, and once done you can have lunch which is surrounded by beautiful scenery, a waterfall and a pond.

What a great place for a beautiful day. Very welcoming with multiple types of scenery and both indoor and outdoor exhibitions. From the lake side Sculptures and walk way yo the gardens filled with trees, flowers and hidden gems. A delight for the whole family with kids of all ages. Would come over again for sure!
