Best for ages 4 and up

Enjoyed viewing the artwork and experiencing the installations. We went with our toddler, which made things a tad difficult as the walk wasn't pram-friendly. It rained the day before which made the ground muddy and slightly slippery. They did say to bring good walking shoes and an umbrella. Would still definitely go back.

Brick Bay

Cute Boutique winery that promotes mostly outdoor sculpture art. Brilliant in summer or when it's not soggy wet weather... not that we let that put us off. Great bottle store, coffee bar and restaurant onsite. Dog friendly (on leash at all times).

Great activity for the whole family!

The sculpture trail was great to wander around and toddler our had a fun time exploring the trail leading to sculptures and seeing the ducks as well. It took about an hour and there's no rush. A great family activity and the cafe was perfect for a drink afterwards (the food also looked great).
