A place for the weird and unusual. I got holiday apocalyptic vibe. Mechanical reindeer, creepy Santa's and skull trees. Make an appointment, you can easily text him and say "I wanna come at this time" just don't be late! Lol This is a GREAT surprise. I had no expectations when coming here and was blown away. I went alone in the middle of 11am PS hot. Every way you turn is thought out. What a genius! I was stunned at how this was designed. I gave it 4 stars because the artist of the home is a stereotypical artsy weird guy and I can imagine some people would be uncomfortable and leave prematurely. He wants you to stay a full hour and really get a good look at all of it. It's donation based so you don't have to pay to get in but you should. At the end there's a display of his super cool resin art. Which I didn't have extra money for, but was so beautiful and he was a bit pushy with me buying art to support his work. This would be so sick at night! I want to come back and see it again.

If you can follow directions, it really isn’t a big deal. This is a man, an artist’s, *home*. Make an appointment by following directions and you’ll get to appreciate what he has created. The art is very exciting and unforgettable. There is no doubt that I felt challenged by the artist, he has his guard up quite a bit as I’m confident that different tourists have had all sorts of reactions to his work and allowing people to view it comes with the occasionally unpleasant reality of the public. Be respectful, open minded—go and enjoy it. Be mindful of this: The artist wants you to enjoy his art, but this is not a public tourist attraction. Modulate your expectations of a “guest experience”, if that makes sense. Robolights would delight anyone of any age. It’s awesome. He will encourage you to make a purchase at the end. In the end, I am happy he did because I love what I bought.

My cousin told me about this place and made an appointment for me. You have to text the number as he doesn’t take phone calls. Kenny, the artist/homeowner, will give you instructions on what to do when you arrive. He gives you an hour to view the art on the property but tells you to meet him after 45 minutes, so he can tell you about the art. He stresses that you don’t rush through. We were finished pretty early because it was so hot, but we wanted to hear him talk about the art. It wasn’t really meaningful and mostly sounded like a spiel. He didn’t sound passionate at all. The main goal is to sell you some of his resin art (displayed in a little shed) and/or to get a donation from you. It was a bit of an uncomfortable experience because he was extremely pushy about it. I should’ve read reviews beforehand. Just FYI, the exit is the way you come in which we didn’t know, so we thought he was blocking our way out. I would let him know if you’re leaving early out of politeness if you decide to do that. The art on the property is collected items. A lot of it is painted over. Could be scary for children. Is worth a visit if you’re in the area, but I wouldn’t travel to see it specifically.

Fantastic and completely unique art installation unlike anything i’ve ever seen. so grateful that we found this place, and the artist is a true altruist who shares his works with the world for free. this is by far the coolest and most intesting immersive installations i have ever had the privilege to explore and it is wheelchair accessible to boot. i’m so happy the artist is willing to share his beautiful, strange, chaotic world with us and the world. A really transformative experience for anyone who loves the strange and unusual. If you make appointment, please DO NOT FLAKE. This is a residential installation and the artist is kind enough to let us in. Respect his time and his work.

This place is so cool!!! My boyfriend told me we were going somewhere but I didn't know where. Once we arrived...I wouldn't have guessed anything close to this place if I tried! 😂 The artist of this home is clearly brilliant and gifted. Each piece of beautifully crafted art is unique and sometimes even creepy like a robot made from babydoll heads and hands. The colors are vibrant and he repurposed random items to create cool works of art. It's clearly Christmas themed to dinner extent hence all the Santas but it's an awesome sight to see regardless of the time of year! Definitely GO!! Whether you pay for a tour inside or even just looking in from the outside it's totally worth it!

Saw this place 2 years ago on a Celebrity tour. We decided to visit Palm Desert this year again and made an appointment for the tour. All I am going to say is this artist is amazing and very creative. He makes his art from items that friends, businesses and other resources donate to him. He does not charge only asks for donations if you want. He answered our questions and he has a small area where he actually creates his original works of art.Went around the exhibits twice and saw something different everytime. If you want to experience a different art experience besides a museum much recommended. I appreciate this persons creativity and opening his home to us.
