5 reviews for Noah Purifoy Foundation
This is the best place in the world. You'll see something you never noticed before, no matter how many times you visit. It's also the kind of place you'd expect to find chainsaw-wielding maniacs, but so far I have not come across any.
Acres of bizarre art made out of found or recycled objects. There are awesome photo ops here. Some of the installations make an obvious statement, others make wonderful noises when the wind blows. I could spend hours here, and do whenever I'm in the neighborhood.
I would have liked to have met Noah before he died.
I'd like to point out that even though the "Good for Kids" info currently reads "yes" for some reason, parents please note that practically every inch of the grounds has something a child could hurt themselves on or with. It is also an outdoor art museum, not a playground.

Absolutely amazing! The place is really rather tricky to find. The Foundation doesn't publicize the address or directions to the sculpture park, apparently in an effort to prevent vandalization, but they are supposed to give you the info if you leave them a voicemail. I never heard back from them, but eventually was pointed in the right direction after asking around town (you can ask the charming little library to flip through their little rolodex, it should be there.) Anyhow, this place is fantastic. Toilet castle! Dancing bear performance stage! Lunch tray slide! Rag-cloth sailing ship!
(Oh, so apparently High Desert Test Sites has directions somewhere on their website.)

Awesomeness at it's full awesomenest is the only way to describe this place. I can get lost in this wonderland for hours and never get bored.
I've been here twice during both visits to Spin and Margies and will go back when we visit again. We've taken some great pictures here and always find new ways to make asses out of ourselves while here.

It 2.5 acres of sculptures made over 25 years. He built the Watts Towers previously, then moved to the desert to make this sculpture park. It is amazing.
sadly he was confined to a wheelchair in his later years and accidently set himself on fire with a ciggrette. the legacy lives on.
