Grounds For Sculpture
Hamilton, NJ · 1 hour 44 minutes from Reading · $20 to $50 a person
Plan the day
Grounds For Sculpture is a 42-acre sculpture park and museum in Hamilton, NJ. The park counts more than 300 contemporary sculptures set among its gardens, with six indoor galleries of rotating exhibitions.
The art is outdoors and comes up as you walk: more than 300 sculptures (the park's count) stand along the paths and gardens across 42 acres, so a visit is a long garden walk with sculpture at each turn. Six indoor galleries add changing exhibitions, and the grounds stay open year-round in all weather, so autumn color and a winter walk both work. A ticket is good all day with re-entry.
Before you go
Entry is by advance timed ticket only, in half-hour slots, and capacity is limited. The park is mostly outdoors in all weather, so dress for it. No outside food, but the ticket is good all day with re-entry. Pets are not allowed (service animals only).
Coming up
Ushering in Autumn, a taiko and dance performance, is Saturday October 10 from 2 to 4 pm ($45, $30 for members); Fantastic Fall Foliage walks follow on October 14 and 17 at 11 am.
Checked October 8, 2026 on the official site. Hours, prices and seasons change, so confirm there before a long drive.
