What) There is a multi-coloured house with more than 300 bowling balls lining the flower beds and bordering the house.  There is a bottle wall around the cactus garden, gardens of blue bottles on stakes and a zoo of funny sculpture animals called the Whimzoo. Several art cars often park in the parking pit. There is a a colorful and ornately decorated gazebo and crab trap buoy ornaments hanging from the gingerbread eaves. There's also a Bowling ball Art Museum that has 80 artistically manipulated bowling balls - everything from corked, beaded and feathered ones to larger sculptures incorporating the ball somehow - created and donated from artists from all over the country. Also, a favorite golden ball was photographed with a bunch of celebrities including Roy Rogers, Muhammed Ali, Bob Dole and John Denver. Overall, it's a magical place that makes everybody who visits smile. (1)
