Nikki Saint Phalle, you were a fucking genius.

Walking into the garden, there is a black and white tiled maze, hiding the majority of the rest of the park from view, when you finally get through the maze (which honestly isn't all that difficult), you enter the garden itself.

It's all made out of thousands upon thousands of mosaic tiles of different colors, sizes, and materials.

Queen Califa stands atop a magical parrot/turtle hybrid, surrounded by 8 totums, signifying different aspects of the myth surrounding the Amazon Queen Califa.

The entire park is surrounded by giant snakes and then further ringed by bushes.

It's a great place for kids of all ages, and looks like something that could have come out of a Dr. Suess book. Bless his old, perverted heart.
