Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

I loved this place SO much. My kids did too! Beautiful nature place, inspiring pieces of art. We were even invoted to participate at making a new scupture by the artist Bently.
I loved how it doesn't feel like a commercialized place - as it can nowadays. I hope to see it growing and can visit again.

Sculpture in the midst of mountain nature. It's interesting and fun. The artists' imaginations move me.

This is a remarkable hidden gem that is worth a visit. The art, the setting, all gorgeous.

Area is very well kept up.

The only reason I did not put excellent is that this is laid out on quite a large expanse of land, and although I am in reasonably good shape for a 71 year old (can climb to 1,000 feet, ) on the hot, 90+ day we were there, the beautiful pines were not enough to dispel the heat for such a long walk. Otherwise this is a special interactive art experience in a pine woodland.
Be aware, this is not a normal attraction. There is no ticket booth, not even a place for donations that I remember. If there was, I missed it. There were primitive, but clean restrooms. Spread out in a woods, were massive, as well as smaller sculptures, most of wood. There was even a fun snail's life on storyboards done in the style of Burma Shave ads, only you walked along the trail, reading each one as you went, until the end of the story.
I found it a pleasant place to visit. There is some signage along the road, but it would be best to know it's there in advance.
also, further down the road from here is the small town of Lincoln, which itself is a fun tourist town.

Some of the sculptures were very good, but we were surprised that most of the artists were not local. The map of the pathways is not to scale, so we abandoned trying to follow it.
Overall, we enjoyed ourselves.

Awesome outdoor art installations! I’m so glad a local Montanan suggested I visit, or I Bc would’ve missed out.
The ponderosa pines provided enough shade that the temperature wasn’t too hot, plus the gorgeous piney aroma. I really enjoyed meandering through the woods, reading about each artist, and admiring their work. My favorite pieces were immersive, but I appreciated all of them.
Many couples, families, and singles out enjoying the art, but it never felt crowded.
Highly recommend!

It was a good day for a ride so I drove the 2 1/2 hours from Kalispell. It is a pretty ride down MT 83 through The Flathead National Forrest and along MT 200 through The Lolo National Forrest. The entrance is just east of town and marked by two large braided tree trunks. At the start of the path is an informative piece explaining about the exhibit, its formation and its mission statement. There are also some simple rules and regulations to follow. On this visit there was no staff and don't know if there ever is. The path takes you through the exhibits with concise information plaques about the artist and the development of the work you are seeing. The artists are from all over the world. The path is well marked for the most part but at times seems a bit convoluted. This time of year there is packed snow on the paths which is not prohibitive for the most part. These are gigantic works of art and very impressive as well as unusual. This was a great outing, the weather was fair, and the works of art were well worth the drive. I spent just under an hour and a half. Lincoln provides places to eat, shop and refuel. Go!!

We spent about an hour wandering around the sculptures, which was a lot of fun. Our 7yo loved it! The bathrooms (pit toilets) were locked, which was a bummer. We had brought snowshoes, just in case, but the path was well maintained (knee high snow if we stepped off the trail though!). Recommend the Lincoln Pit Stop for lunch afterward! We'll be back in the summer to compare and contrast :)

This park is amazing! Totally unique art in a very peaceful setting in the woods. It was great to be the only one there while exploring this special place!

Would this be appropriate for parents with limited mobility?

The trail is not paved. But it is fairly smooth but there is some rough spots. If they are in a wheelchair or scooter you might need to help them move some times,if they are using a walker would be a little easier. This is a place that is in the middle of the woods. The trail is flat so no hills or incline. I hope this helps. I hope you will enjoy this place.

Yes, ON LEASH ONLY. I would have walked my dog there. I did not see other people with dogs but it was a week day. I hope you and your four legged pal enjoy this place as much as I did.
