This is a fabulous place to visit with adults and children with plenty of space to run and beautiful, very interesting sculptures. Have visited countless times over the years and always enjoy it. The gardens are lovely in the summer particularly (waterlilies garden) but the shrub and tree collection is extraordinary as well as the ornamental grass collection

This was an amazing walk along a network of paths on the grounds of Pepsi's corporate headquarters. The outdoor sculptures are varied and interetsing and the grounds are stunning. Hard to believe you are just a few miles from the Hutchinson River Parkway and Ruote 287.

Ernst, Calder, Giacometti, Oldenberg, Pomodora -- just a handful of the artists represented by sculture at the Pepsico headquarters in Purchase, NY. The sculptures are set within a park that is serenely landscaped. Even in winter, nature held her own alongside the art with stunning displays of white birch bark and dried hydrangea blossoms. An easy day trip from Manhattan,... More

Bring your camera and your loved ones. Capture their delight and wonder against world-class sculpture, landscape and architecture. This is the way Modernism was meant to be. Forget all the nasty, oversized corporate drivel surrounded by asphalt you've ever despised. Edward Durell Stone's PepsiCo headquarters commands the landscape like an inverted ziggurat temple. And what an landscape! Designed successively by... More

This sculpture park , on the Pepsico corporate campus, is a survey of 20th century modern sculpture. It's a wonderful walk, it's free.

I have been to this sculpture garden literally dozens of times because I used to work across the street. And I loved every visit in spring summer and autumn. The entrance is on Anderson Hill Road directly across the street from SUNY Purchase College. If you drive up to the main entrance guard they will give you directions to the... More
