First, bring snacks. The nearest town is tiny, and you don’t want to get hangry halfway through. Second, wear comfortable shoes because you’ll want to get out and take pictures with every single sculpture. Your Instagram will finally become interesting.
And third, go in the late afternoon. The light hits the metal and makes it glow like some kind of post-apocalyptic golden hour. It’s magical, I swear. Also, there are no fees, no gift shops, and no lines. It’s just you, the prairie sky, and a world of giant metal jokes.
I should warn you: it’s very North Dakota. Which means it’s flat, windy, and quiet. But that’s the charm. You can hear your own thoughts and the wind whistling through a 60-foot pheasant. It’s a kind of peaceful weirdness you won’t find anywhere else.
