Check the weather forecast before you head to the sculpture garden. The Leo Mol Sculpture Garden is an outside art exhibit. You can see it in the snow in the winter if you like for something really different. The snow does change the character of the many outdoor sculptures and it is worth a winter visit. The best time to go is during warmer weather when all the statues are snow free and easy to see and enjoy.
Head to Assiniboine Park and go to the Leo Mol Sculpture Garden area of this large multi-venue city park. You can get there by public transportation, car, bike or taxi. There is nearby parking available for free.
Take your time wandering through the park and garden settings. Enjoy each sculpture. Some are set near water. Some are in wooded areas and others are in floral settings. Each one is a creation made by a master craftsman who honed his skills for many years.
Visit the gallery house too and see some of the other types of art. There are paintings, drawings and ceramics to view. In total, the garden and gallery house contain more than 300 pieces of art the public can see.
Sit and enjoy the views at any number of viewing spots. This is a good place to come and think quietly or just to meander.
Bring the family to enjoy the many sculptures. Children find these large artworks fascinating. They are not kept fenced or roped off, so it is possible to touch and explore the sculptures up close. They might even enjoy a good game of hide and seek around the statues.
Plan a future trip back to the Leo Mol Sculpture Gardens. Each visit makes you appreciate the works of art more. This is a free getaway that everyone can enjoy.
