First, everyone in town- Greensburg- is super nice. The whole town has a kind of end of the movie Ground Hog Day feel to it. Everyone around the old court house was more than happy to talk about the bizarre fact that they have trees growing out of their court house roof. It is one of the stranger things I've seen in my life. It is a beautiful, well-maintained court house, except for the fact that, you know, there is a big tree growing out of the roof! So, maybe its not worth a trip just for the purpose of seeing it, but it is a nice town with interesting shops and locally owned restaurants. You could kill a couple of hours in Greensburg and not regret it.

Absolutely worth seeing. It is just down the road from the Creation Museum, which provides its own kind of edutainment. It is in a very remote setting. There are "No Trespassing" signs everywhere and that adds to the excitement. On the down side, there is also garbage everywhere Why? Irritating. We visited in April so the leaves were still off the trees. This meant that we could see the ghost ship from the road. Since there was a lot of rain, the river was very flooded. The ship was mostly sub-merged as a result. It was a rainy day and there is some massive factory that looms in the distance. The combination of all of these factors gave the thing a slightly haunted feel. Certainly it is a quick and easy thrill- once you get there...

Very much worth the effort to see it. It takes only a few minutes to fully take it in. There are multiple views that can be experienced within minutes- at the water level and above. Very family friendly and worth seeing. The picture above showing a person near the falls must have been taken a long time ago, because now there is a board walk and, clearly, visitors are supposed to stay on it. The picture does not at all do it justice; although we visited in April and perhaps the flow rate is much higher in the Spring. It was quite dramatic. Where the board walk ended close to the falls, the mist reaches you. My thirteen year old daughter and I really enjoyed the visit.

My thirteen year old daughter and I were really excited to see it. It was only a few minutes from our hotel and it sounded like the kind of throw-back road side attraction that would be memorable. The reality of it both exceeded our expectations and disappointed simultaneously. It is a real art installation- not some hokey road side attraction. The signage was really well done. It articulated a compelling narrative about the Dublin area and the history of agriculture here and around the state. The installation is very high quality. It's well thought out. The disappointments were that there was no place to park and the setting is a farm field remnant almost completely surrounded by corporate headquarters- not the kind of quaint setting we were expecting.

"Castle" is a term that conjures up different things for different people. I was thinking England in the 1600s, but what it really is me- a person with very limited masonry skills- obsessively devoting the remainder of my life experimenting in the building trades. Not pretty. The overall area/setting is a bit sketchy, the non-profit status of the enterprise possibly a bit dubious, and it's not well maintained. It's kind of like your cousin's brother-in-laws "really cool thing I made down by the river". It is down by the river. The back story about how it came to be was interesting. Still you have to admire somebody devoting 50 years of their lives to creating something that people like me were easily duped into visiting. It does give off a slightly haunted vibe- That was cool. If you have 30 minutes and $5 a person to burn- great. I would not recommend driving a distance to see it.

The pictures really do not do it justice. It is a very cool work of art- the sculpture of Leatherlips. The signage telling the story of the piece is very interesting. It is a great photo op, but not just from the front. On the backside of the sculpture there is a very nice view of the river- a really nice vista. This is certainly worth the stop. You can just view the sculpture of take in other aspects of this clean, well maintained park.

Visited today with my thirteen year old daughter. The sign telling the history of the site is interesting. The setting is nice and quiet- off the beaten path. It's a nice city park. The topiary is interesting- not spectacular by any means. We put money in the meter for 16 minutes and we were there seven... Worth doing if you are in the neighborhood or you really, really love bushes manipulated into the shapes of people.
