It was raining and gray but off we went to Griffi's Sculpture Park. It was okay and different for sure. Located in a field on a rise over looking some beautiful country. I'm not so sure we would go back, but if you are in the area for the first time it is a must.

What a great place to spend a day and explore. Since we found this place we tend to go a few times a year. There are at least a couple hundred sculptures and many trails to explore. We enjoy many beautiful walks in the warmer months and even snowshoe in the winter. This area is breath taking and well worth... More

Go there to walk or snowshoe. I love this place at all times of the year. Fall is beautiful. The sculptures are interesting for adults and kids. Admission is by donation. The sculptures are varied. There are several sections. You could spend 15 minutes driving thru or hours walking.

This place has been around a long time, and I'm sure it's overlooked by a lot of people. Take a few minutes to go out of your way and check this place out. Pack a little backpack lunch and make an afternoon of it. It's very creative and I've never seen anything else like it!

You never know what you might come across here. My kids and I have gone to the 2 different entrences and have had alot of fun. The sculptures are original and you are able to touch them, climb on them and discover them like no museum. You might be walking through some trees and come across a girafe or abstract... More

If you ever have the opportunity to come this way, put a few hours aside, get your best walking shoes on and get out in the fresh air and enjoy some of the most spectacular sights, art pieces that you will ever witness in the open air

I have been to this park several times this past year and each time I discover a few more sculptures. Go to hike, take your kids and your dog, enjoy the country and most of all the artwork along the paths. I was just there with my grandsons, age 6,3, 1 and they loved it! Can't wait to return. Be...

The sculptures were not really impressive to us except for the busts of the artist's family. This is quite a rigourous up hill walk if you complete the entire path. Worth seeing but be prepared for an uphill climb.
