## About

Covering 40 pastoral acres of rolling parklands, mature trees, and tranquil ponds in River Hills, the Lynden Sculpture Garden offers a unique open-air art adventure for Thanksgiving weekend. More than 50 monumental sculptures by renowned international artists—including Alexander Liberman, Henry Moore, and Mark di Suvero—stand dotted across meadows and waterside banks. Families can take leisurely self-guided walks, discovering how monumental steel, bronze, and stone works interact with changing late-autumn light. Children love the open grassy spaces to wander freely, and families can pick up creative outdoor scavenger hunt prompts at the welcome center.

Family Experience & Accessibility:
• Stroller Accessibility: Wide mown grass lawns and gravel drive paths accommodate all-terrain strollers; standard lightweight umbrella strollers may bump on soft turf.
• Nursing & Rest Spots: The historic Bradley family residence welcome center offers clean restrooms, baby changing stations, and warm indoor seating.
• Age Suitability: All ages; kids enjoy encountering massive whimsical sculptures in an unconfined outdoor setting.
• Sensory Tips: Refreshingly open and tranquil environment with crisp country air; no loud gallery echoes or enclosed spaces.
