Brings Out the Kid
The sculpture garden brings the Dr. Suess characters to life because they are life size. My wife really enjoyed being among the sculpture because it took her back to a time when our children were small. This is a nice little park where the kids can run free for a few minutes.

Tribute to an Educational and Literary Genius
Quite enjoyable. The museum itself is mostly interactive stations for kids to get into but if you have a family then you'll dig this for sure. I always enjoyed Dr. Seuss' work, he made learning to read so much fun and his stories have a good moral relevence that kids need to have instilled in them, more than the robotic '3 R's'. The sculpture garden itself is basically a brief 'hi and bye' walk-thru. It's pretty much 'take a few pictures here and get going', which is alright because parking totally is pathetic on these streets - money-grabbing meters and finding a good place to park can be a real drag. Nonetheless, even though my time there was a bit short it's still a nice tranquil place to visit. It brings out the kid in you and you'll get good vibes and revisiting from when you learned how to read and how much FUN it was to learn it. That itself has stayed with me my whole life and for that Dr. Seuss gets a lot of credit and thanks from me. I highly recommend giving this place at least a stroll, the garden is free and it's worth the effort to relive some childhood fun and pay a tribute to one of the greatest literary and educational geniuses of the 20th century. He revolutionized child education and it's all been for the better.
