A nice spot to step out and stretch your legs. There's a small tourist information shack with limited hours. They decorate the area around the statue seasonally. There was a photo opportunity where two people can be the faces of pinto bean bodies.

We encountered this giant pinto bean while driving from Medicine Hat, Alberta, to Lethbridge. Next to the bean is a tiny information office where you can pick up a Bow Island brochure.
