Grounds For Sculpture

2 kez gittim, yine giderim. Tüm gününüzü, çocuklarınız ile birlikte, keyifle geçirebileceğiniz bir park. Harika düzenlenmiş bahçe peyzajını arasında dolaşırken ansızın önünüze bir heykel çıkıveriyor. Eserlerin kimi özgün kimi ise klasik eserlerin muzip bir yorumlaması olarak sunulmuş. Oldukça geniş bir park ve içinde bir restoran ve bir kafesi var. Her ikisinin de yanında küçük göller var. Göller içinde ise koi balıkları yaşıyor. Çok keyifli. Bir de büyük göl var ki harika. Çok güzel yerlere dinlene bilmeniz ve bahçenin keyfini çıkarta bilmeniz için bankalar yerleştirilmiş. Göl kenarında da bu banklardan, masa sandalyelerden bulabilirsiniz. Tamamen gönüllüler çalışıyor. Lütfen onlardan heykelleri anlatmalarını isteyin. Biz bu gittiğimizde orada gönüllü olarak çalışan 91 yaşındaki bir delikanlı olan Mr. Mitchel ile tanıştık ve park daha anlamlı hale geldi. Kendisine çok teşekkür ederiz. Eğer gittiğinizde onu bulursanız lütfen sevgilerimizi gönderin. Çocuklara ve tekerlekli sandalyeye uygun.

This place is super cool. Picture don’t do it justice, a lot of the sculptures here are huge. It was hot, we only got half way through. Which leads me to the next thing. It’s a pretty long walk, so be prepared.

Absolutely incredible experience. From the moment you walk in, you’re surrounded by beautiful landscapes and stunning sculptures that make you feel like you’ve stepped into a different world. The grounds are very well maintained, and every turn offers something unique and creative to look at. It’s the perfect place to just walk around, relax, and take everything in at your own pace. The mix of art and nature is done so perfectly it’s peaceful but also inspiring. What I really loved was how interactive and immersive some of the exhibits felt. It’s not just a place to look at art, it’s a place to experience it. Great for couples, families, or even just a solo visit. I highly recommend planning ahead and giving yourself a few hours to fully explore. Definitely a place I’d come back to again.

Grounds For Sculpture is a truly inspiring place to visit. The landscape, the collection, and the variety of works create a beautiful experience for artists, families, and anyone looking for inspiration. I had a wonderful visit and was especially grateful for the warm welcome from Gary Garrido Schneider, the Executive Director. He was generous with his time, thoughtful, and deeply welcoming. It was clear how much care goes into the way this place is managed and shared with the public. We also had the chance to meet a lovely curator and attend Salvador Jimenez-Flores’s talk, which made the experience even more meaningful. The combination of art, nature, conversation, and hospitality made the visit memorable. I highly recommend Grounds For Sculpture. It is a beautiful destination for contemporary art and community.

The sculptures in this park were impressive. However, the customer services and organizational management are issues. I visited this park yesterday, Saturday, May 16th, 2026 and found that it was members only. We could not get in unless we purchase a membership. We drove over an hour to get to thus park. There was no point to detour to other Art Museum at that point. Issuse: 1. Why do they choose a Sat for a member's event? Most museums do it on a special Friday night. Weekend admission should be reserved for the public and people who cannot afford a membership. 2. Senior admission is $18 per person. But the individual membership is $95, with no senior discount. Why wouldn't they give seniors a discount on the membership fee? This museum is supposed to be non-profit. But their practices are aiming to get profit, instead of aiming to make the exhibitions available and affordable to the public. These are the reasons I can only give this place a 4 and not a 5 star rating.

There are not many places like this. Strolling through the beautifully landscaped grounds, there is a surprise at every turn. A new and fascinating piece of sculpture, plant life or even bird life awaits. Go on a nice day, bring a bottle of water and take your time enjoying the experience. Do yourself a favor and SKIP Rats Restaurant which is beautiful but serves AWFUL, overpriced food.

Grounds For Sculpture is truly a hidden gem. The entire place is beautifully designed, with stunning sculptures around every corner and peaceful walking paths that make it feel like you’ve stepped into another world. The scenery is absolutely breathtaking—perfect for a relaxing day, taking photos, or just enjoying nature and art together. Everything is well maintained, and you can really take your time exploring at your own pace. Whether you go with family, friends, or even solo, it’s such a unique and calming experience. Definitely worth visiting and I highly recommend it!

Very nice visit to see all the sculptures and learn about the history behind the grounds. I look forward to visiting during the different seasons and hope to see it in the evening as well. Don't forget to make a reservation at Rats restaurant, inspired by the book "The Wind in the Willows". You will not be disappointed!
