Family Friendly
While a few sculptures are anatomically mature, and a few morbid, many are family friendly. I'd suggest scouting ahead if you are concerned and simply walking by any you deem "too much" for kids.
Open seven days a week from 9AM - 5:00pm.

Need to Know
There is (well, when we visited there was) a porta potty past the barn. On the barn's side are some informative signs.
Importantly, there are at least two friendly loose dogs in the area. As such, based on a sign on the barn as well, not even leashed dogs are allowed - though the exception is guide dogs. I assume this is to protect the loose dogs from less friendly visitors, and official guide dogs are truly well-trained and therefore it makes sense (to me) to allow 'em. I'll edit this later if this changes. And not to worry, the loose dogs are not always there, but they are always friendly. Downright polite. As far as I've experienced.
Description
Do not climb on or touch the sculptures. A few of them really look like you could climb on them. Don't do it.
Admission is free and self-guided. There are some scheduled activities, see website:
sculpturetrails.com/programs/
The trail itself is fairly short, but the doubling back you'll likely be doing on the various small loops will easily gain you about 3 miles of walking, if not more.
Park in front of the barn in the obvious open area, as indicated by signage.

Flora & Fauna
Wild ginger grows nearly everywhere on these slopes. There are several beautiful and mature hickory/oak/other trees along the path. Currently, there is a jack-o-lantern mycelium established in a stump behind the "Fire Goddess" sculpture, one of the first galleries. Of course, there's many other mushrooms here, I suggest visiting after a rain to maximize viewing of both sculptures and nature.
