Located in the heart of Escondido, California, Queen Califia's Magical Circle is a whimsical outdoor sculpture garden created by the late French-American artist Niki de Saint Phalle. This vibrant and immersive art installation is nestled within the natural landscape of Kit Carson Park, offering visitors a unique blend of art, nature, and mythology. The garden features a series of large-scale sculptures, a maze entryway, and a circular 'snake wall' that surrounds the garden, all adorned with colorful mosaics made from glass, tiles, and stones.
Visit on a sunny day to see the mosaics sparkle in their full glory.
- Wear comfortable shoes as you'll be walking on uneven mosaic paths.
- Photography is encouraged, but commercial shoots require a permit.
