Highly Recommend
We came for the nighforms show, which is, as the name implies, only at night. I loved it. This is something that even if you aren't big into art, can still enjoy. There were several groups there with kids that were enjoying the experience too. It's art meets light show. Some of the exhibits you can go into and be part of the experience. It's well marked, you just follow the arrows and each is marked with the number exhibit it is. You can spend as little or as much time at each one. I would have loved to walk through a second time, but it was a little too cold. I hope they do this again. We also stopped in the Van Gogh Cafe, just got sodas and cupcakes, but the cupcakes were very good and just sitting under the Starry Night ceiling is very pleasant. We definitely plan on coming back in warmer weather so we can spend the day seeing all the regular exhibits.

Great Sculpture. Badly needs direction signs.
If you like sculpture or just a walk in the woods with sculpture, this is the place. Note there are NO printed maps though, for the price of admission, printed maps SHOULD be available. They are proud of their navigation by smart phone...come with your phone fully charged. Clever app. But still tricky to find your way. Absence of directional signs. We had a great deal of trouble find our may back to the Visitors' center. They emphasize the need to arrive with a timed ticket purchased on line. They limit the number of visitors and there is just enough parking space for the timed tickets. Not impossible to buy a ticket at the Visitors' Center when you arrive......if there is capacity. Would give Grounds an "Excellent" rating if there were some directional signs.
