You may be able to access it, but you should know that it has been closed for about a year now. Nothing is being maintained.

Curious after reading about Monarch Sculpture Park, we decided to drive out before leaving Olympia for home. You just have to keep driving and eventually you'll find it, on the property behind a house along a paved bike path. Some of the sculptures were very interesting and we were looking forward to the maze. Unfortunately much of the park is... More

I had a bunch of fun here. The price was extremely reasonable and the sculptures were fantastic. It was fun for my whole family. Kids especially likes the prayer flag tree. A bit out of the way but worth it.

My friend since second grade and I chose Olympia as a meeting place because it's midway between our current residences. As we looked through trip advisor to plan our day, this unusual park sparked our interest. From the center of town, we drove about 15 miles into an increasingly rural area. The entry to the park looks like the driveway... More

Heard about this place from friends who had visited while bicycling on the Chehalis Western Trail. This is one of those rare places that nobody really hears about. I guess it was in the news last year because the owner couldn't afford to care for it anymore. It's a pay what you can kind of place and sadly, it doesn't... More

They have a mentor ship program so you see non US artists work. Worth a visit is you're the museum art gallery type. The have soda machine and coffee shop during the summer in the... More

We enjoy a bike ride on the Western Chehalis trail out to the sculpture park. You can ride from Lacey or drive out to the park and ride a few miles. Or just drive out to the park. The sculpture garden is full of wonderful finds. My favorite is the music garden consisting of hands on sculptures that can produce... More
