After leaving the National Eagle Center, we crossed back into Wisconsin to cross of some random places the hubby would never agree to stopping at. Our first stop was The Prairie Moon Sculpture Garden. This is another Kohler Foundation Preservation Site but it was not quite as scary as John Tellen Woodland Sculpture Garden Stacy and I visited in Sheboygan.
The Prairie Moon Sculpture Garden is right off US 35, the Great River Road. It is open 10-6 daily and admission is free. The parking lot is small but not many people seem to visit at one time. One other couple showed up while we were almost done walking around.
Like the John Tellen Sculpture Garden, many of the sculptures are made of large rocks. They all seemed to have a castle theme.
There were also animal sculptures. The dinosaurs I understood.
Some were a bit more graphic and I would have loved to understand the artist's thinking behind them.
Also on the same property was the Fountain City Rock Garden which was a smaller sculpture garden. It feature more mosaic pieces in the form of windmills and towers.
I will have to admit some of the sculptures in both gardens were interesting but others made us go huh.
If you ever find yourself driving down the Great River Road between Alma and Fountain City, check out the Prairie Moon Sculpture Garden. It is worth the stretch break. Besides where else can you stick your head in a snake's mouth?
