Wonderland Sculpture — Attraction in Calgary

The Wonderland Sculpture also known as The Big Head, is one of Calgary’s most iconic public art pieces. Standing 12 meters tall in front of the Bow Building, this wire-mesh sculpture of a young girl’s head is both surreal and serene. What I love most is how it transforms depending on where you stand, step inside and the world feels quiet and dreamlike. From the outside, it's a striking architectural statement that draws you in with curiosity. But step inside, and you're transported into something almost meditative – the bustling city noise seems to fade away, replaced by a dreamlike tranquility that's both unexpected and deeply moving. The interplay of light and shadow through the mesh creates an ever-changing interior atmosphere throughout the day. Located perfectly in front of the Bow Building, it's easily accessible and makes for incredible photos, but more importantly, it offers a moment of genuine wonder and reflection in the heart of our busy city. Whether you're a local looking for a peaceful pause or a visitor exploring Calgary's art scene, this sculpture delivers an experience that stays with you long...

If you are just visiting or living in the city this place is awesome to check out. As an avid photographer I find it a very easy spot to take some really cool shots, especially at night due to the lights around the statue. If you are not into photography it's still a great sculpture to check out. The mesh like face is very cool to look at and the ability to walk through the center is also an added attraction. As you look at it you will begin to wonder how the thing was made, it amazing when you think about it. I also found out after a little research that the face was modeled after a little girl which only makes it more amazing as it's a real face that was turned into and amazing...
