This whimsical, multilevel "sculpture garden" is made with 60+ tons of used furniture, home goods & other junk. Whatever toy you played with as a kid, it's in there somewhere! A fun "weird" Austin thing to do that's great for kids and adults. Tip: Don't just stop by — check the website for visiting hours!

Crazy Austin stuff right here. A guy built a towering sculpture out of found items. It is in a dude's backyard. Give him a call and let him know you're coming.

Explore the multilevel part-tree fort, part-modern sculpture Cathedral of Junk, a dense tangle of jungle-like foliage intertwined with an estimated 60 tons of unusual items and tchotchkes (call ahead for availability).

Cool, folk art tower built by artist in his own backyard. Drive by anytime and poke your head in. $5 donation, totally worth supporting his crazy vision.
