Pyramid Hill Sculpture Park

Pyramid Hill Sculpture Park, located in Hamilton, Ohio, is a unique place to visit.  I took my kids here a couple of years ago, and they had a great time exploring the huge sculptures.  The underground pyramid-shaped house, which is now a museum, is set in 265 acres of park-like grounds featuring 37 contemporary sculputures, gardens, 7 lakes, and quite a few hiking trails.  The museum contains displays of Roman, Egyptian, and Greek sculptures that are thousands of years old.  In fact, the goal of the museum is to have a collection which will demonstrate the complete history of sculpture by mankind.



 

The grounds are open year-round from 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM.  The museum is oepn daily, from 12:00 PM - 5:00 PM.  Admission is $8.00 for adults, and $2.00 for children.

    1. I agree. I think there's a nice balance between the two.

    1. It's an unusual and fascinating place. Not too many people know about it, because it's a little off the beaten trail.
