This place has everything. Rocks, crystal, human daisies, a star dungeon. Your kids can play in a life size replica of an LSD trip. There's even a koi dinner bath. What's that? That's when you take a bath in a pond and the mutant koi that live there eat you for dinner.
(h/t to Bill Hader and Saturday Night Live for those last two paragraphs)
But seriously, this place really was amazing. Fantastic sculptures in a unique setting. The guidebooks were not wrong. The autumn colors lent a added element of beauty to the location.
What got me the most about this place was its playfulness. I wasn't kidding about a place to bring the kids. If I had been here as a child it would have been my favorite spot in the world.
A number of works of art have been designed for kids to play in (adults can only watch). This includes a 20 foot high gigantic crystalline structure where kids can crawl from cube to cube and a gigantic multi colored cargo net that kids can climb on. Everyone can enjoy the hidden koi pond, a sunken stone maze and a foot bath. You can see why I would like it. There's even a small Picasso museum on site although that is not nearly as interesting as the outdoor sculptures.
I took the same railway as yesterday to get back up to the museum and spent about two hours here. Time definitely well spent.
