“Whimsical and captivating on a great scale. The beautiful grounds and historic estate takes you back to old Hawaii, but in the presence of Steve Tobin’s art, you are transported to another realm. A must see. Friendly, professional, knowledgeable staff. Great for families and kids of all ages. Some art is interactive. They also have alpacas, bunnies, exotic birds, and a tortoise, which makes the visit extra special for animal lovers and kids.” - Morgan Wallace
