The outdoor sculptures are interesting and quirky, making it a great affordable attraction to bring the kids to let off steam. 

Bring your picnic blanket to enjoy your picnic by the beautiful lake and stare out at the ducks playing in the water or the different sculptures that surround you. Alternatively, visit the café that provides great lunch and coffee options. There’s also a gift shop available on-site, which only enhances your experience.
