    Such a nice walk through the woods with many amazing sculptures. Most of the installations are right on the trail and there's a handy information sign with included QR code for each exhibit. By using the QR code you can find out more about the art and the artists behind the works. A few of the installations were up in the branches, or a little offer trail in between the trees. The kids had plenty of fun looking for those (especially 'Pegasus' & Gorilla). There's also an Augmented Reality exhibit that requires no hiking at all. This was interesting and reminded me a little of William Gibson's 'Blue Ant' trilogy. The software was very easy to use and extremely fast.

    Went on the recommendation of the owners of the Anchorage Inn and were thankful they suggested it. The park was a wonderful walk in the woods and the artwork amazed and surprised us with each turn of the trail. It was a warm August afternoon but being in the shade of the trees made it a pleasant experience. The lower trail does wind downhill which means you have to walk back up. My wife said the effort was totally worth it and I agree. Thank you to all of the staff and volunteers for maintaining the artwork for our enjoyment.

    Handicap parking right by the archway. Easy level trail for my mom (94 yrs old!) to navigate with her walker. Interesting sculptures and a beautiful forest loop. There are two loops. The level loop is only 0.6 miles. A pleasant stroll.

    Found this place on Google while planning a trip to Canada. Pretty easy to find not fast from the hwy. It was a nice stroll and it was great to see some amazing sculptures. I'm always amazed of people's talents. It was great to see the different types of art and learn about the artists. Such a great area and it was free. I also enjoyed the sign book at the end. Although I'm by no means artistic I felt compelled to contribute. I definitely stop by again if I'm ever in the area.

    This place is magical. It was such a wonderful experience walking through well-maintained trails and breathtaking forest listening to gorgeous birdsongs surrounding us, enjoying all of the unique sculptures they had, many of them felt like a tribute to the beautiful forest backdrop. I highly recommend anyone in the area to check this out, and I will definitely be making this a stop each time I visit Whidbey.

    Great free park. Not too long and not too short. It has some cute sculptures. Even some were hidden in the trees and fun to look for. They've got about 8 parking spots and it was full when we were there at 8am on a Saturday.

    Absolutely great experience. Small hike in the woods along the art. The art is so creative, and sometimes it takes a lot to find where is a sculpture.

    We found this wonderful place by accident this week, and WOW! It really exceeded our expectations. I'm so glad we got out of the car and checked it out. What a wonderful experience. I compare it to Big Rock Park in Bellingham, but even better! Thank you to everyone who made this happen and keeps it happening.

    Price Sculpture Forest is a treasure. Beautiful sculptures nestled in a forest, just beautiful. We made a donation at the end of the trails. I highly recommend this place.

    Delightfully impressive park! Saw it on the map while road tripping and stopped in and was a highlight of the trip. Placing the works amongst the forest provides a very striking and contrastive backdrop. The walk is easy to moderate and not long. Felt very safe and quiet. Great place for walks with kids or to get away for a moment.

    Beautiful sculptures tucked within nature. Easy trail through the woods will take you to each sculpture. A guided virtual tour is available. Perfect jaunt out for the entire family!

    What a fun little forest walk! Easy enough for kids and everyone, with fun sculptures every minute or two. The option to go down Whimsy Way was so fun... my favorite sculpture was probably the deconstructed tree trunk, and the Cloud Heron floating between the trees was a big hit with the kids. I would recommend this to anyone who wants to get out into nature for a bit, but isn't one for long or arduous hikes. We'll definitely be going back next time we're in the area.

    This is nature and art rolled into a really cool nature walk. We had a great time seeing the different art sculptures both on the ground and suspended in the trees. I'm not much of an art kinda guy but there were some REALLY cool pieces in here. Each sculpture has a small plaque on the ground near it with the name and the artist, as well as a QR code you can scan that will take you to their website and explain more about the artist and their creations. It was a beautiful day out so even though there were trees shading the whole trail, it was nice and warm the whole time. Some pieces were hard to find due to them being made from things like chicken wire and suspended from trees but most sculptures were displayed front and center and I was able to get really good pictures of them. There's also a really cool VR display area at the front and after downloading their special app (there's free wifi provided by the park that covers at least the entry area) you are able to scan several different QR codes and then view virtual sculptures in a special roped area using your phone's camera. You can walk around these virtual sculptures to view them from any angle and take pictures of them straight from the in-app camera! It's a very short "hike" and is easy going the whole time so it's a great place to take kids as well. We will be coming back the next time we're in the area.

    I had no expectations from this park but it turned out to be a very well presented exhibit of contemporary art. And it is a nice walk in the woods. Currently (September 2023) there is an augmented reality exhibit that worked very well with some very cool pieces.
