19740 US Highway 90, Live Oak, FL 32060, United States
It's a little road just past the agricultural checkpoint, has "road closed" sign, but seemed acceptable to park and walk across since there was a fisherman out there beautiful views, good photo op. You can also take the kids into the Suwannee State Park; at the boat ramp you can walk left to a little foot bridge and play in fresh-flowing water from little stream.
Didn't see the tour. The outside is faded cans fashioned with mortar into property walls, while cut and flattened cans create shingles and siding. Can ends are strung on lanyards to make rattling windchimes that nearly ensconce the home. Less impressive than you would think.
Amazing public art by very talented Austin artists. If you're lucky you'll see someone at work, but be sure to stand downwind as the paint is stinky and the overspray will drift.
A nice place to walk around with the kids, away from the Bourbon Street hustle and tourist snazz. Cultural, significant, and interesting, take the kids and a picnic to the Metairie Cemetery--just take note how you got in so you can get back out. It's a big place. If you get lost, use the aerial map of your GPS to look for the exit gates near the funeral home to the north.
Unfortunately, the surrounding area is populated with a large and rowdy population of homeless men. The Biloxi Pier is a covered shelter for inebriated hobos, whom you practically have to step over to reach the end of the pier. Panhandlers are persistent and aggressive. The bum-to-tourist ratio on the day we visited was about 8:1.
