Niki de Saint Phalle —

I took my three kids and eighty-year old Aunt to the Niki in the Garden exhibit at Garfield Park. It was WONDERFUL! Kids get in for free and adults are $5.

The sculptures are mammoth! With beautiful, bright mosaics and cool pieces of tile, glass, wood you are mesmerized by French artist Niki de Saint Phalle's talent and ability.

The kids can climb, scale and hide in this magnicient works of art. And, the museum has a clever and simple scavenger hunt that gives each child and board with stickers and they have to match the photos of details of the works to the large picture of it. It was simple enough for my 3 year old to do with help and exciting enough for my 8 and 6 year olds to do on their own.

The exhibit is out until the October 31st. Run don't walk. You'll love it!
