There really isn’t anything quite like this anywhere else in the world. Imagine driving down an otherwise normal road but alongside the road is the world’s largest outdoor art gallery with pieces that tower many feet into the air. These pieces have broken world records and have made the drive a fun an enjoyable one. This is a fun family day trip and it’s totally free other than the gas it takes to make the drive. Check it out:
The Enchanted Highway is a collection of the world's largest scrap metal sculptures in a neat drive through art gallery.
Each of the seven completed sculptures (with more in progress) are extremely larger than life and impressive in every way. They were all made by artist Gary Greff.
You can expect to see massive fishing scenes, huge pheasants, a larger-than-life tin family, and even Theodore Roosevelt on a rearing horse. Only the horse is several stories high!
Each sculpture along the road has a pullout so you can get out of the car and stand next to them so you can truly understand and appreciate just how humongous these pieces really are.
The Enchanted Highway has more than just gigantic works of art - it also has other fascinating art installments along the road. Drive down this road at the right speed while looking out at the geese figures on the posts and it'll look as if an animated goose is flying.
The Enchanted Highway is truly a one of a kind, only in North Dakota place. Who doesn't love a nice casual drive? Add totally awesome art to that and you've got a great day trip to make.
