Reviews

This place was neat! Free, no tickets needed, but donations appreciated. When you start getting the creeps how far out you've driven from the freeway, you're almost there 🤣🤣 the sculptures were interesting and unique, which is exactly what we were looking for along Route 66! — Amanda Chambers

It’s definitely an interesting and unique stop. The bottle tree concept is fun to walk around for a few minutes and take some photos. We stopped on our way from LA to Las Vegas, and it was worth the short visit because it was right along our route. However, I probably wouldn’t recommend making a special trip just for this attraction if it’s not already on your way. — Dilara

Very cool Route 66 stop! A outdoor collection of antiques and bottles turned into art and displays. Easy to walk through and run by the family. It is free to see but they have a donation box. They are open until 10pm and if you arrive at night they turn on outdoor spotlights for you. Friendly dog on property . Must see on the route for cool pics. — Nicole Hood

Beautiful and unique. It was free and a good stop to look around and just admire. Finding how to go in was little tricky but easy, just pull up to the front of the area — Sabrina
