What a georgeous interesting park to enjoy and visit. Educational interesting and just plain fun! The parking lot provides plenty of parking restrooms maps and information is provided inside the building. There is lots of photo opportunities here for those who are interested in photography! The park is clean as well as tranquil.

I was here on a solo road trip last week on a beautiful and warm day. Their website encourages you to register in advance. Although there is an entry fee, you can opt to make a donation at that time.

The visitor center is where you check in upon arrival. There are limited snacks during the week and more options on weekends. Bathrooms are here as well. At my visit, there was an indoor exhibit on barn raisings that I found interesting, and I am excited to come back for the outdoor piece of this during the summer.

The sculptures are placed varying distances apart in beautiful open meadows. I recommend wearing bug spray and comfortable walking shoes and bringing water.

I spent about an hour and would recommend at least 2 if you want to see everything.

What a magical place!!! Art Omi is a wonderland with stunning grounds and fantastic artwork strategically placed throughout 120 acres. This is the perfect place to take a hike, have a picnic and behold truly unique and wonderful contemporary sculptures and architectural works.

This place was so cool!!
Definitely a little dicey getting around in winter- everything was ice.. but the sculptures were so fun and thought provoking. Barely saw anyone, it was quiet and relaxing. Would love to come back in summer and finish the trails and see everything.

What a beautiful sculpture park exhibiting the work of artists over many decades. The paths through the fields and woods are very well kept and easy to follow. There are just so many amazing vistas and discoveries. Love the architectural section with interesting prototypes of small building concepts. Wonderful works by many artists. Allow at least two hours to do a full tour of the grounds and choose good weather. Great visitor center with friendly staff. My only wish: a coffee machine with hot coffee and gift shop. It would be great to snap up a catalog or maybe a one-of-a-kind print piece by a resident artist.

Combination of sculpture art and nature here is quite cool. I may not have liked or understood some exhibits but was quite impressed with others (wavy house, scapegoat, tree with basketball hoops, remnants of Europe and many others). Plan to spend at least couple of hours wondering over mowed paths in the fields or trails in the woods. Visitor center is modern and friendly with all amenities including cafe and restrooms. The place is well worth donation they ask for. Ample parking on busy summer weekend, highly recommend as a combination of hiking with art appreciation.

I love outdoor art parks - especially since COVID. I had not been here before and was very happy to find it. Great day, wandering along trails under sunny skies, or deep in the woods, with art and sculptures throughout. Very thought provoking. Staff was very helpful, there are restrooms and a lot with ample parking.

What a great way to spend some time outdoors! There are quite a bit of sculptures in the park and total walk takes about 2hours to complete. Bring water, a hat or umbrella, and shoes or sneakers you don’t mind getting muddy! Be prepared to be immersed with the bugs as well as they are flying all over. Beautiful sculptures and some are interactive making it fun and along the way. I would not say it’s suitable for small kids or strollers as there are some hills and very slim paths but if you think you can do it, you can! Had a very nice time despite the bugs/bees.

Art Omi is such a peaceful and inspiring place to wander solo. The open fields and forest paths are well maintained with incredible large-scale sculptures that feel both surreal and grounding at the same time. Every turn offers something new abstract shapes, bold colors, and pieces that make you stop and think.

I loved the mix of concrete, metal, and nature working together… it’s like walking through an outdoor dream. It’s quiet, easy to navigate, and perfect for anyone who loves art, photography, or just a calm escape surrounded by creativity. Definitely worth the visit! Definitely a gem!

A perfect outdoor sculpture museum/park to enjoy a nice walk in nature while contemplating very interesting and thought provoking sculptures. It is a large outdoor space that is well kept. It’s dog friendly so it’s a nice activity for the full family! They also have a small cafe available. A recommended place for a fun outdoor activity!

Best part of Art Omi are the grounds - open fields framed by wild flowers and forests- a beautiful way to frame the sculptures.

It's an open, active, low-pressure way to introduce children to art and it's worth the trip if all you do is enjoy the walk through the fields without stopping at a single installation. A beautiful way to spend an hour...or three hours...move at your own pace.

Very kid and leashed-dog friendly. Lots of rolling hills and even some steep inclines, no paved paths - I would not recommend for wheelchairs or those with balance or weak leg issues.

The kaleidoscope sculpture in the Green Field was my favorite- you need to look into the tunes from as low a point as you can manage to really "get" it.
