I am writing this review as an artist. My sculpture was damaged by park staff and removed. When I was told about the damage, I was given 2 weeks to pick up the piece. When I arrived at FSP I was only given half of my sculpture. Recently I have learned that this is a common problem with the park. So if you are an artist that cares about the integrity and quality of your work, stay away. They do not care about you or your work.

It's a breath of fresh air to see original artwork on display on such a beautiful venue. I would highly recommend this for anybody who loves art, hiking or supporting artist having a venue to display their pieces.

If you are in the area and have the time, definitely stop by this place. Even if you're not into art, it's a nice place to get out and stretch and take a nice walk. Very unique displays and if you are adult enough to not get too bent out of shape about agendas behind some of the pieces, you will be just fine. If not, don't look at them. An overall nice addition to a day trip in the area.

My 11 year old granddaughter and I spent 1.5 hours here on a nice summer day. Huge area with eclectic large sculptures. We could have seen more but the two golf carts were already checked out. Fun memorable place!

Odd to say the least. This place is on a larger acreage size so a decent amount of walking. Some of the sculpture are very cool and some just looked like trash and not very complex.

Amazing experience. My parents, who are aged, and visiting from India were astounded by the sculptures , the arts foundations that support the artists. We visited during the summer solstice celebrations and they got to view the sun thanks to the Minnesota Astronautical Society. If not for their age, we could have toured the entire park. Well, that means I will return to savor the experience once again. I live in Eden Prairie, and the trip took us to Sweden sister cities ... So not only is the destination to look forward to, but so is the ride itself ! We are lucky to have this in our midst!

A terrific open area with whimsical art small to gigantic. Anything seems to work in this landscape. I am an engineer tinkerer myself and truly enjoyed the exhibits. Went there with family and friends. I went on my own for a long while... enjoying the weather, the place. Thought about offering to design an exhibit.Let's see.

There's no shade here. While some of the sculptures are super cool, it would help to have a path that makes more sense that hits all of them. Maybe modern art doesn't make sense to me, but a better description of what I'm looking at would be helpful. The map they gave us didn't seem to make sense either. On the other hand, it was free (well...donation based).

Perfect for Senior pictures! My daughter included her dog in her photos, and it was the perfect outdoor place first thing in the morning at 8 am. We were the only people there.

Free and open year round, definitely worth a visit to see some cool sculptures! Would also recommend some bug spray for the wooded portion

Have been coming to Franconia for years. It's a great place to walk around with your family and it's seems like there is always something new to peak your interest.

I've visited this place twice over the past few years and love it. There's so much space and so many cool things to look at. Dog friendly as well! There is also a little farmer's market on occasion. Always a great place to visit. The parking lot looks small but I never have a problem finding a spot. There's indoor bathrooms and a gift shop inside which I haven't seen myself but my husband said it was nice. Worth the drive!
