Barberville Yard Art Emporium

We happened upon this place on our way to horse riding and knew we had to stop. All the giant metal sculptures and color out front drew us in. This place is a huge 3 acre lot with too much to look through in a day.

We met some really nice employees who told us that it started as a little stand that sold this yard art on the side and then it became so big to what it is today. It's a treasure mine of this one of a kind art. They have an education video that explains how the art is made from smashed oil cans, so it's super unique.

This is a one of a kind place! So definitely stop in!

I've been looking for a large brontosaurus to represent Sinclair Oil Company for almost a year. My search ended at Barberville Yard Art Emporium. In addition to dinosaurs they have numerous animals, fountains, patio furniture, windmills, mailboxes, pottery, local chainsaw art and much more. There are about three acres of merchandise to walk through.

They offer flat rate shipping and will paint your large purchase item any color that you request...free of charge.

Finally made it to the Yard Art Emporium after hearing about it for the last couple of years! It's just off the beaten path, and a short distance from DeLeon Springs State Park.

Went in looking for a bird bath, but also wanted to price their amazing one-of-a-kind mailboxes. They have so much stuff, that it was a truly overwhelming experience! Anything and everything that you can imagine is here - and more!

Had a lot of fun looking, but didn't buy anything. Most everything we looked at was very expensive, and simply out of our price range. Still, we had a fun time, and may come back again. Definitely worth stopping in - just know that it is a $$$$$ kind of place.

Enjoy!

Destination Pierson, Florida is probably not on many people's bucket list but maybe it should be. This place is like a three ring circus in many ways, it seems to get bigger and better every year and it's filled with giant animal figurines including elephants and tigers, but the selection doesn't stop there I think it would be a challenge to come up with an idea that isn't represented here.

Unique is what this owner is going after, there are multiple reminders scattered across the displays that state that avoiding multiple duplicates is one of their missions. There are thousands of pieces of yard art and other one of a kind creative pieces here which makes it virtually impossible to not walk the entire property, the space can accommodate large crowds so don't let the filled parking area keep you from stopping in.

Like most people we came here with a theme in mind, we were looking for a rustic metal pink flamingo to enhance the area directly around our RV when camping, something not too cheesy but at the same time it needs to make a statement, well there are a gazillion examples of these in many different materials, different sizes and colors - we narrowed it down to a few choices and decided to digest the options a few days before making the purchase, since we are staying close by I'm sure we'll return before leaving the area.

The property is well organized, so don't confuse this place with the old junk shops or flea market type venues you find across the back roads of America, this is a legit retailer. The staff here is very friendly, professional and accommodating and it's amazing how well they know their inventory if you can't seem to find that special piece ask because I'm sure it's here and likely in many versions. This is always an entertaining experience and I'm sure we'll return again and again...

This place is huge, and it's absolutely amazing how much yard art they have at Barberville! Staff will help you find anything you're looking for. Great selection of items (just check out the pics). Prices are good and they offer a military discount. A bit of a drive from Ocala, but worth it if you can't find what you want at the smaller shops. Highly recommended!

I love love love those off the beaten path, roadside attraction kinda places.

I've had Barberville Yard Art Emporium on my list of must stops for some time.

Love all the funky and fun art that can be found here. So much to see and do.

This was a savior seeing this. We planned to go but had to change plans bc of the super amount of rain coming through. Little did we know this was still on the way to where we were headed.

Best part of all, they have restrooms. There is barely any places to stop around this area being central florida.

Even though it was still somewhat raining, I still enjoyed all this fun yard art.

I wish I can have a bigger collection, but it comes for a hefty price for me.

It's still fun to see and take pics and it's a good size of a collection outside and also a covered area.

Check it out if you are headed to Daytona Beach area.

Fun to walk around and take your time looking at the huge selection of outdoor yard art!!! Always find beautiful items to add to my garden

Came here last summer looking for new pot. Wow I was totally amazed of the rows of stuff this place has.!!
Could definitely spend a good 2 hours here. The prices are somewhat reasonable. A lot of the pieces are very unique and you might not find them anywhere else in Central Florida. There's a place like this in Tarpon Springs area but not as big. The parking lot is not very big but if you had to you could park on the other side of the road and walk over.
A great place to spend an hour or two if you're out maybe Aster Florida area.

This place can be a little day. it is located on the outskirts of Deland Florida. I went with my friend, and we spent about two hours there, browsing in and out of all the bays. I did not have any interaction with the staff because we were there just to look, but the place was packed and there was a line to check out. It's a definite tourist attraction. I would highly recommend it as a day trip they sell everything from furniture made out of driftwood, ceramic brass and wrot iron pieces that stand 40 to 50 feet high and as little as 10 inches high. They have something for any household. The prices are also set in a large range so anyone can really afford anything at least as a souvenir. I would highly recommend this place.

This place is absolutely stunning! We honestly did not plan on stopping during this road trip back home, but I should of already known that the potty dance never fails. Upon entering barberville yard art emporium I remember stating -- " No matter what son, we're making this quick, I want to get home already !!" First red flag, b/c I can't even walk into a 7 eleven and "make it quick" . So .. even before officially walking in this place your awe struck by the ginormous statues and "yard art" that is lined up circling the place. 2nd red flag , any place that has that much over flow in the front, most likely has me canceling the rest of my plans for that day. Now every single art piece is just perfection. And what makes all the art so special is that every art piece is individually unique. This place made it a point to have all pieces different. I could not believe how huge this place really was and how much this place really had!!!!! My eyes exploded!! I couldn't help myself walking around ..... ok running around through here and realizing how many hours of hard work was all around that place. They have every kind of piece you can imagine... wood, steel, shells, tables, chairs , benches , lighthouses, ponds, wishing fountains and so much more!!! Definitely make sure you have hydration ready and with you , and make sure you prepare your mind for stimulation overload . Great place !!!
