One of the best sculpture parks in the United States is right here in New Jersey. It’s a perfect spring, summer, or fall day trip. In addition to the artwork, you’ll find other fantastic features, including an enchanting tunnel of trees – check it out!

One of my favorite spots at the sculpture park is Monet's Bridge. A supremely peaceful place, you can find it by Rat's Restaurant, located on the 42-acre property.

And do you recognize this scene? It's straight from a picturesque painting. Hidden away near the Lake Side, it is a real-life replica of Garden at Sainte-Adresse, on display at The Met.

Nearly as beautiful as the art is the greenery. This picturesque tunnel of trees is called the Red Maple Allee.

You'll find it between the Fairgrounds Gardens and Seward Johnson Center For The Arts. The shady canopy offers a refreshing break from the heat on warm summer days.
