Griffis Sculpture Park

Located north of downtown Buffalo and about a half mile from Lake Erie and the Canadian border, the Griffis Sculpture Park is the largest outdoor sculpture park in the United States. The park contains more than 250 sculptures on over 400 acres of landscape.

The sculptures of Griffis Sculpture Park stand in fields, forests, on trails, and even in ponds. The sculpture park started at the nearby Kissing Bridge Ski Resort in 1967, but it was relocated shortly thereafter to Ashford Hollow, where it now resides. Over the years, the sculpture collection has grown and contains a number of sculptures by Larry Griffis, Jr. as well as a number of international sculptors.

The park includes a variety of facilities, such as restrooms, covered shelters, and picnic areas. Admission is on the honor system and is charged at the yellow box near the entrance to the park. No camping or pets are allowed in the park. In addition, there is no fishing, campfires, or smoking allowed in the park.

The Griffis Sculpture Park is located about ten miles west of Buffalo Niagara International Airport. Group tours are available and with groups larger than ten people resrvations should be booked in advance. Children must be accompanied by an adult chaperone.
