  • Found this place after visiting Mt. Equinox. Pics online looked cool so decided to check it out. There's a long driveway up to the parking lot, with around 20-30 sculpture's scattered throughout fields and trees along the driveway. It's about a mile long or so. At the top near the parking lot there are a couple different grassy areas with sculpture's along with a big field. The art museum building is on the smaller side, with a few exhibits throughout. They close around 4:30, we got there almost at closing, so we were able to quickly look around for free. All in all, it was a good stop to pass some time.
  • An interesting choice in winter, but the galleries were nice. It is more difficult to enjoy the outdoor sculptures. Some can be seen, while others would require trek through the snow. But the surrounding views are amazing!
  • There are multiple galleries and massive grounds with outdoor sculptures. We only had time to explore the outdoor art, next time we'll plan to spend more time here.
  • I truly loved it here. What a unique and wonderful experience. Amazing for all wondrous souls. Parking available on site. Great open outdoor area with so much beauty(nature and art). Indoor museums(exhibit halls) inside park as well. Interesting sculptures throughout park, story telling trails that I truly loved ( especially the " already a butterfly - a meditation story") that takes you into the forest, and shows you what type of plants/ trees your amongst while reading the story as a puzzle. There's gift shops as well. I highly recommend this beautiful location that truly is a journey and an adventure. Ps: I loved that book so much that my partner went and bought it for me in the Northshire bookstore ( which I highly recommend as well). Ig: zarinazzzgab for more
  • The sculpture park, landscape, walking the trails, are just the tip of this incredible iceberg. The galleries are packed with unique art. Topped off my trip with a visit to the restaurant curATE. It was so fun!
