Queen Califia’s Magical Circle is open weekly on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 9:00am to Noon and on 2nd and 4th Saturdays, from 9:00am to 2:00pm (weather permitting*). Kids of ALL ages love this special sculpture garden… bring your family, friends, imaginations and cameras!

Queen Califia’s Magical Circle is the only American sculpture garden and the last major international project created by world-renowned French artist Niki de Saint Phalle (1930-2002).

Inspired by California’s mythic, historic, and cultural roots, the garden consists of nine large-scale sculptures, a circular “snake wall” and maze entryway, sculpturally integrated bench seating and native shrubs and trees planted within the interior plaza and along the outer perimeter. The garden bears the brilliant, unique mosaic ornamentation that is an unmistakable part of de Saint Phalle’s later work.
