The metal sculptures are scattered over several square miles, so this is a drive-and-stop outing rather than a walk. Reviewers spend about an hour with photo stops. Many pull-offs are narrow dirt tracks lined with cactus and brush, so a higher vehicle helps. The visitor centre is a useful first stop.
Kids love hunting for the 130-plus life-size metal sculptures by artist Ricardo Breceda scattered across open desert — prehistoric mammoths, saber-tooth cats and a 350-foot serpent that dips beneath the road. They sit on unfenced land along Borrego Springs Road, free to roam anytime. Go in cooler morning or golden-hour light and bring water.

So cool!! These sculptures are all over the area, over 130 of them. There is a map you can follow but they are pretty easy to spot as you drive around. Be prepared. You can drive up to a lot of them but it's narrow rocky, dirt roads lined with cactus and dry brush. Truck is best. Also lots of small animals so be careful.

Fun attraction to get up close and personal with while visiting Anza-Borrego Desert State Park. The installations are scattered around and it is easy to park near the sculptures and make your way finding all the pieces. We went on a super windy day, but it somehow made the experience more fun and exciting!!
