Whimzeyland - Safety Harbor

Whimzeyland is a brightly painted, over-the-top art house tucked away in Safety Harbor, Florida. It is a full-scale outdoor art exhibit with surprises around every corner.

Whimzeyland

Whimzeyland is truly... whimsical, spectacular, eye-catching, and so much more. One thing to know is that Whimzeyland is the artist's home. Please be respectful of their art and noise level.

What started as a personal art project has turned into a full scale art installation that has taken over 20 years to create a wonderland. Around every corner is a surprise, delight, and a woah moment.

There are tons of painted bowling balls on the property. Looking back through pictures, I started to realize just how many unique items were used to create the whimsical art.

I do suggest wearing bug spray, sunscreen, and shoes that can walk along a natural path. Bring your camera! You will want to take selfies and photos as you explore.
