You wrote that you weren't sure that this place was worth the visit based on photos you saw online but we were just there last month and discovered that there are a lot of weird and interesting things. The weird stuff is hidden in bushes and so you have to roam around the park looking for secret pathways to find the treasures.

Grounds for Sculpture Grounds for Sculpture is a massive outdoor and indoor museum populated by dozens, if not hundreds of statues. Local businesses, and the town in general, have embraced the concept, and you'll find many sculptures throughout the town, including a 20 ft. molar tooth and a giant white knight on a horse. A great day trip.

Not sure about this place, based on photos we've seen. Nothing appeared to be very big, weird or amusing, so it may be more Art than Tourist Attraction. But we liked this "Bone Sculpture," which might just be a badly assembled Stonehenge.
