    However, some visitors note that the park's condition can vary depending on maintenance and recent weather conditions. A few reviewers mention that certain areas may appear unkempt at times. Additionally, the outdoor nature of the exhibits means that some pieces may be affected by weather or wear over time.

    Overall, Socrates Sculpture Park offers a refreshing alternative to traditional indoor museums, allowing visitors to engage with contemporary art in a relaxed, outdoor setting.
