I actually had my wedding pictures taken here some time ago. The grounds are beautiful. Really a nice place to go and relax. The sculptures are amazing.

Wow this is such a great place from a commercial company and they don't charge or try to sell you anything . Always quiet and you can take your dog , on a leash of course . Plenty of parking and clean bathrooms at the information center . Flat grounds and paths make it a leisurely walk which anyone can traverse . Even the offices blend into the landscape .

We make an annual trip every spring. We pack up a picnic lunch, our camera and spend the afternoon walking through the gardens. I have yearly pictures of my children since they were toddlers here. They are maintained beautifully and it is a privilege to have such a gem nearby. I believe they will be closed for the next 3 years while they renovate Pepsi so be sure to visit when they reopen in 2016. It is really not to be missed.

A lovely, expansive sculpture garden that's full of life and color. It's a terrific place to take a walk and decompress. Plus the world class sculptures, which include works by Calder and Rodin, are fairly accessible for the lay art fan. Unfortunately the park is closed for the next two and half years as Pepsico renovates its world headquarters.

We have visited this park a number of times over the years. It contains a world class collection of large sculptures. The park grounds are lovely and lovingly cared for. The pond comes with a flock of geese, so be careful where you walk.

Lovely manicured park with wonderful sculptures by famous artists (Miro, Calder, Max Ernst etc.) - - BUT !!! The sculpture garden and grounds is CLOSING to visitors on December 1, 2012, not to reopen until late 2015 due to construction.Definitely worth a visit when it reopens!

Excellent place for a weekend walk. Very interesting example of the modern garden landscaping and architecture. Fun for adults and kids who can literally touch the fish in the pond. Bring your camera!

Classic, perfect, pristine, magnificent, no-blade-of-grass-out-of-place formal gardens and varied, impressive massive sculptures from world-renown artists on 160+ acres surrounding Pepsi corporate headquarters. Walking path throughout, benches for resting/meditating, easy access, parking, all free. Be sure to visit the courtyard mini-gardens inside the perimeter of the office building (which itself is an architectural wonder). Plan for two hours minimum, and bring the kids - there's a picnic area on the backside, too.

Very relaxing and manicured setting. Great for picnics but DO NOT bring coca cola (LOL one of their attendants was mad about this). Also good for exercise amids beautiful art work, and for sitting around and reading the NY Times. Highly recommended, and if you like this, go to Storm King Sculpture, which is in the wilds of Kingston, NY.

What a gorgeous corporate headquarters and what a gift to the community to make it available for people to walk through. And the sculpture is terrific

This place has an excellent sculpture collection well worth the visit. Be prepared for strolling in perfectly groomed grounds with a foliage selection that mimics that of a botanical garden. We went on a no school Monday and we practically had the grounds to ourselves. Starting off with a picnic next to the pond in the designated area makes for a perfect early fall afternoon.

The PepsiCo sculpture gardens are terrific at any time of the year. Each season brings something different when I walk through here.

A serene and most pleasant afternoon among works of art, many on very large scale, and frequently by well-known artists. The garden setting is also vast, but accessible via intimate walkways with multiple benches for rest, observation and contemplation. As mentioned by another, this delight is something well-worth paying for, yet it is free! (I just wish some of the thought and creativity which went into it had found its way across the street to the Soviet style SUNY-Purchase campus.)

Hats off to Donald Kendall who imagined an atmosphere of creativity and experimentation between sculpture and gardens. The gardens are an art form in their own right, complemented by the carefully situated sculptures. Form and texture are planned well here using trees, shrubs and plants with their different colors, shapes and scents. To see a David Wayne or Alexander Calder sculpture among the well manicured gardens was a delight to the eye. What a beautiful and peaceful retreat in the heart of Westchester County.

A beautiful oasis of calm in the heart of Westchester County---great trees, plantings and walkways for you and your 4 legged friend---and a treasure not to be missed, especially in the summer!
