## About

Spread across 30 rolling wooded acres overlooking Flint's Pond in Lincoln, deCordova Sculpture Park is New England's premier outdoor museum. Over 60 monumental sculptures dot the lawns and forests, creating a visually striking contrast when dusted with fresh winter snow.

Families can wander paved and hard-packed gravel paths that are accessible for all-terrain strollers. Kids love searching for large-scale whimsical installations with interactive scavenger hunt sheets available at the welcome desk. An on-site cafe and visitor pavilion offer warm drinks and clean restrooms.
