A beautiful sculpture garden, totally worth the trip inland from our beach vacation!
I'm so glad that they are finally securing this very special area. Some foolish people have done horrible damage. I was unable to access the area yesterday unfortunately. Queen Califia is only open a few hours a week. When I retire I'm going to look into volunteering. I love this amazing spot.
Please if you love art and are anywhere near San Diego (Escondido), stop here. I think it's a little secret of theirs! ???? Also the surrounding park is pretty with some hiking and biking!
Simply Unbelievable. A must see. The detail if every sculpture is just simply art at its finest. Bring a good camera you will not stop taking pictures.
So worth the effort to visit - yes, limited hours - but very easy to get to. Make sure to check the Google Page to confirm hours. Give yourself about 30 minutes to an hour to take it in.
The garden can't really be seen from the park's parking lot - it's about 100 yards to the south on a wide trail. Handicap parking is available at the end of this trail.
After you pass through the fence, walk either way along the outside to look at the sculptures making up garden's wall. Then enter the garden itself and spend the rest of the time inside.
There are a few info signs to give the backstory of the garden and the artist.
Beautiful and creative, it's a cool sidetrip.
