Amazing! We had a great time meandering the grounds. The place does a superb job of using the land to showcase the sculptures/artwork. The works are spaced throughout the area, and we had fun wandering around and getting lost in all that there is to see! There is also a great little restaurant, Rats, on site if you wanted to grab a bite to eat. Currently, there is a charity drive going on until December 7th, 2016. If you bring in a coat to donate, the entrance to the grounds is completely free! The coats go to Jersey Cares - what a great deal! The website mentions that new sculptures are continuously put in place and structures are moved around (either inside or outside) allowing for different motifs and interpretations of the work. They also have a holiday light show for some holiday flare! Would definitely recommend and will be planning a repeat adventure soon!

One of the few places left in NJ that makes you feel like your not! Great place to go on mild days, 90% outdoors so rain & high heat will be an issue to some. Holidays can be very busy also. But if you love art, specifically sculpture iys a very great place to go. I highly recommend this. Edit to staff: I forgot to mention the peacocks which were beautiful and roaming free. Children were often chasing and feeding them only to be scolded by the staff - rather harshly. If they are that important to the staff there should be better care, signs or a designated area for them. Kids will be kids, this seems an obvious issue that was neglected and handled poorly.

What a gem...beautiful grounds with surprises around every corner. Fantastic works of art at each turn. Rats restaurant is not to be missed. Tours are offered twice a day and are very informative. There are several cafes to get a bite, although when busy there can be a long line for service. I love this place so much I became a member.

Beautiful grounds, peacocks are funny and cute to watch. So many places to walk around the grounds to see sculptures and smaller modeled items. Inside main welcoming building has two larger rooms often open for viewing, they have added new buildings as well. Love going to this place! So fun and always something new or changed to see.

1st time here and boy was it fun. Everything from the simple statues to the real complicated ones. I became a different actor for every single one of them. The artist who did these wonderful master piece did an incredible job and it shows. I appreciate the whole experience. Me and my family had a great time. I highly recommend this place to anyone who appreciates art and just want to have a great time exploring. Loved it and I will definitely come back.
