Luna Parc

This was a beautiful display and tour we attended. The owner and artist, Ricky was super nice and friendly but not over bearing either. It was a self guided tour after the brief overview under a lovely tent outside. The grounds were spectacular and the art was outstanding. This was truly a fantastic place to see, and also to hear about the continued learning he does as well was nice! I really enjoyed walking around at our pace, but also how Ricky was around to answer any questions or engage in conversation. This was a well done tour of an outstanding display. Pictures do not even do it justice for sure! (Also, $20 is so cheap and only goes back into the maintenance of this enormous property so well spent for almost 2hrs!!)

Getting the opportunity to tour Luna Parc was such a treat. Everywhere you look on the property, there’s something interesting or beautiful to see. My partner and I truly enjoyed exploring and looking at all of the creative, whimsical artwork and antiques. It is well worth the road trip. Ricky is a truly talented artist and hospitable host. I highly recommend touring here and experiencing this delightful place for yourself if you are interested in eclectic, fun, psychedelia-esque art.

Incredible experience! Highly recommend taking a tour in this amazing house. You can't visit here and not be inspired to create something.

This place was one of the most magikal places I’d ever seen! We were warmly welcomed by Artist Ricky and the level of whimsy was through the roof. I absolutely adored the sculptures and collections and art. The house was unbelievable! A must seeeee

Luna Parc is truly a hidden gem—one of the most magical, inspiring places I’ve ever visited! From the moment you arrive, you’re swept into an otherworldly space filled with color, creativity, and heart. Ricky, the visionary artist behind it all, is not only incredibly talented but also warm, welcoming, and full of infectious energy. He makes you feel like an old friend the moment you meet him. Every corner of his home is bursting with intricate details, eclectic collections, mosaics, sculptures, and stories. It’s impossible to take it all in during just one visit—there’s so much to explore, feel, and absorb. Whether you’re into art, architecture, or just looking for something completely unique, Luna Parc is an unforgettable experience that stays with you long after you leave. This place is pure magic. I highly recommend making the trip—you won’t regret it!

Such a great place to visit. The cross-over between hippy and DIY (steam)punk. Ricky is so original and passionate in his work. He’s an artist and a craftsman, with a great interest in people and cultures. He also involves artists in residence and interns, passing on his skills and vision on new generations, and preparing his legacy. Visiting this place gives you a lot of positive energy. The house, the garden: it’s overwhelming. Impossible not to make too many pictures!!

This was such a unique visitation experience. The house is so ecclectic! The art is beautiful and the collections...oh my word...its just impossible to describe! If you get a chance to do a tour, I definitely recommend it, and encourage you to bring a camera. There's as much to see outside as in so plan enough time to wander and take it all in. Entrance is $20.00. Its a constantly evolving project so its probably not a one and done kind of exploration. Loved it!

Pure joy of the artist creation is magnificent to be part of.Ethereal dreams become concrete in this magical dreamscape. Thank you for your hospitality.

Luna Parc is a gem! RISD graduate Ricky Boscarino purchased an ordinary looking house and property in Sandyston NJ in 1989. Then, the work and fun began. For the past 36 years, he has been creating Luna Parc. First thing to note is that Ricky still lives and works here, so you cannot simply decide to visit whenever you like. You must check his website and go on specific dates at specific times when he welcomes visitors. We went 10/31/25 and paid $20. each. That is a fee similar to what an art museum might charge. When one visits an art museum, one sees art on the walls or sculptures that one might walk around. At Luna Parc one experiences art that way, but also one is IN the artwork. Sandyston is in a beautiful, remote area of northwest NJ, near Stokes State Forest and Delaware Water Gap. For us, it was an almost 3 hour drive each way. I am not complaining. It was well worth the journey. I do not know what adjectives to use to describe Luna Parc - magical, mystical, wonderful, unique, awesome, spectacular, marvelous, delightful. Really no verbal description or even photographs can do Luna Parc justice. One simply must experience this place! Ricky is an amazing multi-media artist. The house is 11 levels, not 11 storeys tall though because levels stick out of the core in various ways. The 11th is the roof and Ricky cannot build any higher (town code) but he will continue creating inside the house and on the grounds. All I can say is, book a tour and go!

I reserved my ticket a few days before for the tour which is offered a few times a month from March to October. You pay the $20 for the tour via cash or venmo when you arrive. When I arrived people parked along the side of the road outside the entrance. I didn't know what to expect but I was impressed as soon as I walked in the front gate. I arrived early and we were allowed to walk around the property outside the house. The house is beautiful on the outside. The artist Ricky does a short introduction about his life and his home before letting everyone self tour his home. Ricky was super friendly and approachable to ask questions and tell stories about his life's work. Every room is more beautiful and unique than the next! I will definitely be back to see what other things Ricky adds in the future!

make sure to head over to the website, sign up for the mailing list so that you can get the schedule for the tours. theyre typically just on weekends and around 11 to 1 pm. that being said a few things... 1.kid friendly 2. free street parking 3. he talks to you for about 10 mins 4. you check in and can pay cash or send venmo ($20 pp). 5. you have free reign to check out indoor & outdoor of property 6. theres only 1 bathroom and everyones in it checking it out because its so pretty 7. theres artwork and sculptures for sale 8. i spent about 1 hour 20 mins here, but could have easily been more, but we had to leave. well worth the wait & long drive!

What a magical journey visiting this home will take you on... every twist and turn has something to discover!! Ricky's Luna Parc is truly a diversified work of art and a true labor of love

Incredible! What a treat to be able to walk the grounds and many of the interior rooms created by Ricky B, who happened to be around and was gracious and friendly. Bring your camera because there is much that will catch your eye. From quirky little creations to a Twigloo, Chapel, Workshop and much much more. Eyecatching features await at every corner of every room. Special thanks to all the folks working there today. From the guy working traffic control and parking, to the greeters in every room they were a source of great information. Only open 3 days in June and 3 days in October, a true New Jersey treasure. Not to be missed!

Folk art at it's finest, this mosaic covered home is thrown open to the public twice a year-- as of 2011 it's June 24-26 and sometime in August (check the website for details). I've had the luck to visit on a quieter day, since my mad-potter-mama is friends with the sweet couple who've made this amazing home. It's free to walk around, and WELL worth your time. The closest comparison I can think of is.. if John Waters had been the one to construct the amazing mosaic spots on South St. in Philly. It's costly for artist Ricky to keep up, so spread the love and buy some of his art, jewelry, or other items. Last time I was there I bought some lovely wrought iron candlesticks that I treasure and use here in LA whenever I have a dinner party! Whether you're from NYC, Philly or the Poconos, this is a great place to bring a picnic and make an amazing little daytrip for yourself! Wear some smart shoes (ie flats) and comfy artsy clothes.

Amazing place. We went on a trip there and the man giving the "tour" and answering question was friendly, accommodating, and interesting. The children and myself had a great time with no lulls in excitement. Would recommend for the entire family. This is a place that if you kept going back you would always see something you missed the last time. Keep up the amazing work!!!!

Gaudi meets Beetlejuice-wonderful use of repurposing; something new to see at every turn...simply wonderful!!!

This private residence - open to the public during only 2 windows each year - is a real treat for the imagination. The artist, who purchased the house in 1989, has been actively shaping it ever since with his unique flare of madcap whimsy. I would say his style may be something to the effect of Andy Warhol meets Tim Burton. Thousands of common objects adorn both the property and the inside of the house, from bowling balls, to vodka bottles, to bread ties, to crutches... all utilized in the ultimate artistic creation. The home supposedly has over one million mosaic tiles, each set by hand. The ghoulish front-doorway facade is certainly something out of a Lovecraftian nightmare. The admission is only $5, and you will surely be intrigued the deeper and deeper you go into this rabbit hole. Check out the Luna Parc website for the next open house and mark your calendar.
