As you can see, the wooded area is also a beautiful place to visit. During the heat wave that happened that week, the park was a welcome relief being a few degrees cooler than everywhere else. They give you map to the sculptures, but it isn’t very good but does provide great information on the sculptures and the history of the park. Just follow the trails you and you shouldn’t have a problem finding all the sculptures. It took us about an hour to walk through all of it.
Monster Park is located just outside Bomarzo, Italy. You can get there from the A1 highway following the signs for Bomarzo. If you have an Italian GPS, it should get you there with no problems. Google maps directions seem also to be accurate. From April to October the park is open every day from 8:30 am to 7:00 pm and from November through March from 8:30 am to sunset. Adult tickets are €10, and kid tickets are €8. There is also a snack bar on site if you need a break before or after.
What is the strangest attraction you have seen on your travels?

Wait, what the hell is that sculpture in second photo about? Why that looks like one guy is taking a good look at the other’s asshole by putting him upside down?
Haha! Yes it does. It is Hercules battling Cacus.
Whew, glad I checked the comments before posing the same question. *Googles Cacus*
Haha! I didn’t even think about it till someone asked. Let us know what you find out about Cacus.
Wow, this looks so weird and awesome! Had no idea something like this existed. I love the picture of you in the monster’s mouth!
Thanks. I wanted to show the scale of the sculptures.
Super cool!
I found your blog on Blogging 101 – I absolutely love traveling and have never been to Italy. Enjoying living vicariously through your pictures!
