We enjoy sculpture, but found a lot of what we saw to be too abstract and too large. Sometimes less is more. Agree with other reviewers that it is a delightfully wooded park but very large and to see it requires quite a bit of time which a lot of visitors may not have if they wish to see some... More

Laumeier is a modern, abstract, outdoor sculpture museum. Right off the bat that means it's not for everyone. If you don't care for art or if you hate abstract art then the place will bug you. If, however, you love art or you're just ambivalent about it you can still love this park. It's a huge, rolling, forested park with... More

We had been traveling thru the midwest for a couple of days before staying in St. Louis for a long weekend, so part of the appeal for this park might just to have been outside, walking, enjoying nature, etc. We didn't really know what to expect, although our group of textile artists was highly enthusiastic about interacting with new mediums...

Really interesting works, mainly abstract expressionist but wiitn new artists interspersed. The park is of an entirely manageable size for all ages, with extra diversions of woodland trails if desired; I was there on a cool grayish day and loved the lush green of a St. Louis spring morning. A stimulating outing.

This was my first time ever visiting a sculpture park. When visiting St.Louis, I had a list of 30 must see things in St.Louis, and the sculpture park was on the list. I was truly amazed by most of the sculptures there.My favorite was the eye. Be prepared to do walking as the sculptures are spread about in the park.

What is art is a matter of taste, I guess. Laumeier does not express my taste at all. You might feel differently about it. "Modern sculpture" looks like a junk yard to me but you may be more sophisticated than I am about art.

Laumeier Sculpture Park is typical of other parks in St. Louis County, including picnic facilities, open spaces and hiking trails, with the exception of dozens and dozens of modern sculptures, both large and small. Many are curious and some can be quite strange if you're not an art person (I'm not really). But we love coming here and walking around... More

It was nice to walk around, look at and read the history of the pieces. The restroom was was outdoors but was very well maintained. This place is a must see if... More

A great walking experience with a variety of art objects to observe and interact with. Can be fun even in the winter.
