Readers say McKee Botanical Garden has everything
going for it: Lush vegetation along winding
pathways, sculpture exhibits that light up the eyes
of adults and children, special events, a cafe and
gift shop, the quirky building by Waldo Sexton called the
Hall of Giants and his Spanish Kitchen. The garden rates 4.5
stars on TripAdvisor and has hundreds of glowing reviews.
The Lego sculptures by artist Sean Kenney on display for the
entire season are almost certainly a big part of the reason
the garden was named best tourist attraction this year. His
larger-than-life sculptures were at the garden two years ago
and drew the largest crowds the garden ever had. Now he’s
back with new sculptures and for a longer period of time.
The garden is home to the beloved annual Holidays at McKee
with the large-scale model railroad, the car show and the
Fairies and Pirate’s Day for little kids.
