Don't touch the boring sculptures
2 Star Rating: Below Average

We went to thye Olympic Sculpture Park on the weekend, and were rather disappointed. Firstly, the crowds were unmanagable, so be sure to go early in the morning to avoid them. The only cool exhibits are the life-size silver tree, the wake [rusty copper structures], and a giant uni-wheel rollerblade with crazy hair. Otherwise, the place was a bore. The 'do not touch' policy seems a little absurd with sculptures like "Bench", which, as its name implies, is a perfectly functional cement bench. If they want to enforce the do not touch policy, I think this place should put up fences around the sculptures, not put up blue signs everywhere telling me not to sit on the bench looking thing that is called "bench". My prediction is: one visit and you've had enough...
