"If you happen to be driving by, this place is definitely worth a stop. It’s a really cool spot where they turned simple, everyday objects into unique art. Unexpected, creative, and fun to walk around — a great little roadside discovery."

"Its a small place with a lot of bottle sculptures. Very creative. At first you think they are allowed the same but they are different each on a unique way. I didn't see restrooms, nor would it be easy for a wheelchair to access all the areas but some are viewable. It's all dirt so wear appropriate shoes. Park outside the fence or in the lot next door. Its free to enter but you can scan the code to make a donation, please do even if its small. Its not often there is free artwork to view."

"Went out of my way to see this unique attraction along route 66. I have been to a similar rock garden, but obviously this place uses bottles. They had unique artifacts such as an antique fridge and typewriter. There is a donation bucket a little further into the attraction, so if you like it and want to keep it going I'd recommend making any donation. Spent about five minutes there, didn't see anyone other than a couple of visitors. Just stop here, it takes a few minutes and is uniquely weird."
