    I can't for the life of me figure out why people kept honking at us, but we totally enjoyed this roadside attraction. A word of advice: park in front of the sculptures. There's a large area right in front that is pretty far away from passing traffic. Also keep in mind the grass may not be cut and this isn't somewhere you're going to spend an extended amount of time. We were there about 15 to 20 minutes. The sculptures were very cool and creepy.

    This is such a unique place to visit! The creators of these sculptures are incredibly talented and creative. The only problem we had was that there isn’t a parking lot or anywhere you can pull in and park. We just stopped alongside the road and hoped our car wouldn’t get hit. It’s definitely a cool experience and I would recommend it. It’s a quick visit and worth stopping for.

    It’s not exactly a park. But they have huge sculptures which are beautiful. Parking is also a problem as you need to stop it on the frontage road. There is no proper entrance to the park as it’s an open field and the ground is little mushy so definitely shoes are must. Also we couldn’t get proper pictures because it was too sunny so couldn’t capture the sculptures well!

    Very cool roadside attraction, great for photos and stop by. No parking but with precautions you can stop by the side of the road to take some pics.

    A unique place to walk around for a few minutes. Directly off-highway and easy to park and get to. I'd say most people send about 30 minutes there. Going at sunset added an excellent photo opportunity.

    Interesting sculptures on the freeway onramp

    No place to park really, so you feel kinda weird and the grass is tall, unsure what wildlife you might encounter. If you can get by that, then the rest is a solid hour of pure joy. These works of art are amazing. It's the best Free thing to see in Houston! JR

    Pull off the side of the road, park your car in the cutout with the flashers on and walk around this "park" that is open 24 hours for some great photo ops. It really is all very impressive and unique. If you are questioning if everything truly is bigger in Texas than check out the fishing pole here. Enjoy!

    Great place located just on the side of the highway. You can take really nice pictures in all the different iron sculptures, I visited with my family on the sunset, so we took advantage of it to get great memories. Sculptures are really creative and entertaining, so you will spend some time viewing them closed up.

    Great quick 15-30min stop. No parking because this is just a true roadside attraction. Park on the side of the road and enjoy the art.

    A great place to stop, stretch your legs, and take some photos. A nice point of interest to visit when passing by, entering, or leaving Houston, especially if you appreciate anything art. Parking isn't straightforward, being on the side of the South Fwy entrance ramp, but if you look at it on Google Maps satellite view it's very understandable.

    A fun stop with numerous metal sculptures. You don't have access to drive into the "park". It is really part of a metal yard by the highway. You need to park on the side of the business and walk into the sculpture area. And the parking area is really just the side of the road. But you get to see a jet launching a missle at a giant spider, so worth it. Spend 10 minutes and see it all.

    Very unique art form with a creative mind. This can be viewed by pulling off onto the shoulder and viewing from your vehicle. It’s a quick visit, maybe 5-10 mins but worth a stop if you’re in the area.

    Pretty cool, but there is nowhere to park and it's right next to the highway. There's not trails just grass so not exactly accessible to people using certain mobility aids. The pictures made it seem like a large area but all the sculptures are in a row, it would probably be like a 15 min stop max if you're with any impatient people that aren't that into art. This is more of a photo op type place than a park.

    Very cool and interesting roadside attraction!! Nice place to photograph

  • 3/5 Christopher R. 1 year ago on Google
    Interesting artwork of various things made from scrap metal! If you like art of all kinds check it out. Know that this place is literally right next to the onramp and not really anywhere to park other than the onramp shoulder. If you do stop you'll get some cool pictures 👌

  • 4/5 Marty G. 1 year ago on Google
    Worth a quick stop for selfies and a good laugh. Free and it took about 20 minutes to check out all the statues. I would love to return with my own welder and do some work.

  • 5/5 Ashley C. 8 months ago on Google
    Very nice place for the children to visit.

    This isnt a park. This is metal on the side of the road.
