Amazing experience! Get there with plenty of time to explore and immerse yourself. You'll never look at "junk" the same way again.

This place is really really great. Our friends wanted to lounge by the pool, and we wanted adventure. We thought we would stop by the NPOAM for an hour; we stayed the whole day, and brought our friends with us the next day. If you like strange art made out of trash, this place is for you.
