Great Little Art Museum of WI Art in down town West Bend. They currently have a special exhhibit of WI artist, Tom Uttech I believe through January 2020 some time. The space was perfect for showing off his work as many are large size paintaings. We enjoyed our visit so much we went back on Thursday night when the museum is open late and had the place to ourselves to ponder these surreal north woods works. Admission includes a one year membership. Highly recommend seeing this museum, especially before the Uttecht exhibit is done, and then again once they return to their normal format.

3. Labyrinth Garden Earth Sculpture
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 53 reviews
A beautiful flower and plant garden earth sculpture built and maintained by volunteers from the community. This Cretian Labyrinth is 90 feet in diameter with seven circuits. The grass pathways are lined with bulbs, perennials, herbs and annuals, making a walk to the center a special and relaxing experience. This garden was designated as a Daylily Display Garden in 2009 by the American Hemerocallis Society. Located in one of West Bend's many beautiful city parks, the Labyrinth Garden is yours to enjoy free of charge during daylight hours.

we have been coming here in the spring summer and very early fall. Great care is taken to have a great display in each of these seasons. the gardens are well tended. The labyrinth is cleverly laid out. Just when you think you have reached the center, you are sent off nearly back to the entrance. The park also has many public sculptures and a large wooded area plus plenty of water features. For my wife & I the Floral Labyrinth was always the star of the park.

Unlike many trails, this one goes to places of interest. For me the stars of the trail are, Downtown West Bend, The Museum of Wisconsin Art, The Former Chicago & Northwestern Depot, The Milwaukee River, The Barton Feed mil and Waterfall, Kewaskum, & Campbelisport. I have both walked and biked the entire trail. There are shady areas to walk on hot days. I recommend the river area on hot days, In early June, you can see huge snapping turtles, some with shells larger than a dinner plate, laying eggs at the edge of the trail along the river. During Saturday mornings, in the summer, you can start or end you walk or bike ride a West Bend's huge Farmer's Market. Probably the quietest part of the trail for a nice walk is the two miles south of West Bend. Kewaskum hjas a large supermarket where you can get some food if you are biking the entire trail. The section between Barton and Kewaskum can be a bit tedious for walking as it is right along the highway. Most of the trail is paved.
