Minneapolis Sculpture Garden

Minneapolis has a lot to see; even though the weather was a little gloomy today, we visited the Minneapolis Sculpture Garden. It is a huge garden with more than 45 sculptures in it. The kids and I grabbed a WAC Garden Pack, which is a bag full of activities and scavenger hunt type games in it put together by the Walker Arts Center (aka WAC). It was a lot of fun hunting for the different sculptures and learning little facts about them. The kids weren't too sure they'd like this kind of park, but in the end they had a fun time! They each picked their favorite sculpture and drew a picture of it. Max loved the bunny jumping over the bell and Abi loved the giant glass fish surrounded by real palm trees. I had a great time telling the kids to pose like the sculptures and got a laugh at Max's interpretation of "posing". Super fun day!


This is the famous Giant Cherry on a Spoon Sculpture!

This is a two way mirror sculpture. It was actually pretty cool!


Max's favorite sculpture.
