    It’s definitely an interesting and unique stop. The bottle tree concept is fun to walk around for a few minutes and take some photos. We stopped on our way from LA to Las Vegas, and it was worth the short visit because it was right along our route. However, I probably wouldn’t recommend making a special trip just for this attraction if it’s not already on your way.

    Very cool Route 66 stop! A outdoor collection of antiques and bottles turned into art and displays. Easy to walk through and run by the family. It is free to see but they have a donation box. They are open until 10pm and if you arrive at night they turn on outdoor spotlights for you. Friendly dog on property . Must see on the route for cool pics.

    Some reports say it's closed but IT'S STILL OPEN!! And it's definitely worth a stop! It goes on and on with each tree a unique top and lots of other quirky art things. Some new additions by an artist in residence -who's keeping the farm open and carrying on the tradition. Thank goodness! Plan for more time than you think!

    If you happen to be driving by, this place is definitely worth a stop. It’s a really cool spot where they turned simple, everyday objects into unique art. Unexpected, creative, and fun to walk around — a great little roadside discovery.

    Its a small place with a lot of bottle sculptures. Very creative. At first you think they are allowed the same but they are different each on a unique way. I didn't see restrooms, nor would it be easy for a wheelchair to access all the areas but some are viewable. It's all dirt so wear appropriate shoes. Park outside the fence or in the lot next door. Its free to enter but you can scan the code to make a donation, please do even if its small. Its not often there is free artwork to view.
