We happened upon this place on our way to horse riding and knew we had to stop. All the giant metal sculptures and color out front drew us in. This place is a huge 3 acre lot with too much to look through in a day. We met some really nice employees who told us that it started as a little stand that sold this yard art on the side and then it became so big to what it is today. It's a treasure mine of this one of a kind art. They have an education video that explains how the art is made from smashed oil cans, so it's super unique. This is a one of a kind place! So definitely stop in!

I've been looking for a large brontosaurus to represent Sinclair Oil Company for almost a year. My search ended at Barberville Yard Art Emporium. In addition to dinosaurs they have numerous animals, fountains, patio furniture, windmills, mailboxes, pottery, local chainsaw art and much more. There are about three acres of merchandise to walk through. They offer flat rate shipping and will paint your large purchase item any color that you request...free of charge.

This place is huge, and it's absolutely amazing how much yard art they have at Barberville! Staff will help you find anything you're looking for. Great selection of items (just check out the pics). Prices are good and they offer a military discount. A bit of a drive from Ocala, but worth it if you can't find what you want at the smaller shops. Highly recommended!

September 2023 update:We made another trip to Barberville Yard Art Emporium in September 2023. Nothing has changed with our opinion for the most part. This time we did purchase a couple of items. There are lots of amazing items there. But I will point out that this is not an inexpensive place to shop. Most things will cost you a bit. But some of the items can be pricey. But it is unique merchandise that you do not see everywhere. So like I said, nothing has really changed in my opinion. There's some nice quality items. But bring your wallet. :)(January 2023)We made a trip out to visit this interesting place. I learned of it from a video I watched from another platform. This is a cool place with all sorts of interesting, and normally bright colored items.We didn't buy anything because the mission was to get ideas then return for procurement of items at a later date.We walked around for quite a while. One could spend a lot of time and money here. Yes, it's not for everyone. But most folks will probably find it interesting.

I have been coming to this hidden gem for over 30 years. I could spend hours here. Always so much fun. Great employees also. The statues and other gifts are great and bring so much enjoyment. You can also get fresh local honey and some beautiful wind chimes here.

I’ve driven by for over 6 years. We are moving out of state so we decided to check it out. It did not disappoint! Although we didn’t find exactly what we are looking for, we found plenty of things we didn’t know we needed.I would recommend taking a look for yourself.You can spend less than $10 on a gift or over $2K. There’s something for everyone.

Finally made it to the Yard Art Emporium after hearing about it for the last couple of years! It's just off the beaten path, and a short distance from DeLeon Springs State Park. Went in looking for a bird bath, but also wanted to price their amazing one-of-a-kind mailboxes. They have so much stuff, that it was a truly overwhelming experience! Anything and everything that you can imagine is here - and more!Had a lot of fun looking, but didn't buy anything. Most everything we looked at was very expensive, and simply out of our price range. Still, we had a fun time, and may come back again. Definitely worth stopping in - just know that it is a $$$$$ kind of place. Enjoy!

This place!!!! Recommend if you want to gift a little something to someone that was handmade and has tons of beautiful colors. Some, if not all, things are made in mexico.... at least that's what most of the vases and clay things appear to be. Orrre, an amazing gift for your home or yourself.

Interesting place with unique hand made art. Prices are high but I expect that for the unique yard sculptures you'll find here.

This place is absolutely stunning! We honestly did not plan on stopping during this road trip back home, but I should of already known that the potty dance never fails. Upon entering barberville yard art emporium I remember stating -- " No matter what son, we're making this quick, I want to get home already !!" First red flag, b/c I can't even walk into a 7 eleven and "make it quick" . So .. even before officially walking in this place your awe struck by the ginormous statues and "yard art" that is lined up circling the place. 2nd red flag , any place that has that much over flow in the front, most likely has me canceling the rest of my plans for that day. Now every single art piece is just perfection. And what makes all the art so special is that every art piece is individually unique. This place made it a point to have all pieces different. I could not believe how huge this place really was and how much this place really had!!!!! My eyes exploded!! I couldn't help myself walking around ..... ok running around through here and realizing how many hours of hard work was all around that place. They have every kind of piece you can imagine... wood, steel, shells, tables, chairs , benches , lighthouses, ponds, wishing fountains and so much more!!! Definitely make sure you have hydration ready and with you , and make sure you prepare your mind for stimulation overload . Great place !!!

This place is HUGE. They have so many different options and types of yard and home decor. We drove about an hour to come see what they had to offer. The prices are actually pretty good for the value of the items, and even though everything is stored outdoors, they are still kept in amazon condition.

I passed this place on the way to go scuba diving and it caught my eye immediately. Checked it out on the way back, I’m glad I did not miss out. It’s free to walk around this outdoor museum. All of the artwork here is so fun and unique, I loved walking through the isles of sculptures made of all sorts of different material. I didn’t get to stay long but my experience here was beautiful. ? ??♀️
