★★★★★4.6(578 Google reviews)
A free hilltop park dotted with more than forty snow-white sculptures of Biblical scenes, with easy paved paths and sweeping valley views. Kids enjoy wandering between the larger-than-life figures, and it's stroller-friendly. Go near sunset when the white statues glow gold and the desert cools.

This park was one of the coolest places we’ve been to outside of Joshua Tree . The statues are beautiful and the history behind it all, was rather interesting and unique.

I’ve waited so long to come here; I’ve always passed it by because it’s not on the main drag. Finally I made time to stop - and with my dogs. Blessing to those who keep this place intact. It was a joy to walk around this scared place. I will return next time I am passing through.

Felt like the sculptures were a bit rudimentary. The park itself is serene but entering was a little difficult for our minivan.

The park is unique and worth a visit, but it could use some improvements. There isn’t a clear walking path, no restrooms, and no real starting point or guide to help you navigate, so it feels a bit confusing at first. The grounds have an almost “dead” atmosphere, but the sculptures themselves are interesting and meaningful to see. With a little more upkeep and direction, this place could be truly special.

Its aged but its a great spot for a nice little walk around the deserts flora and fauna with all these biblical statues. Great views of the town, too.
