There’s No House In The World Like This One In New Jersey
New Jersey is a unique state, so it’s no surprise we have some unique structures. One of the most whimsical has to be Luna Parc, the home and studio of artist Ricky Boscarino. The New Jersey native bought his Sussex County home in 1989 and turned it into something truly incredible. Luna Parc has been featured on CNN, Weird New Jersey, Atlas Obscura and HGTV, so you can be sure it’s really something special. Just take a look for yourself…
We’re aware that these uncertain times are limiting many aspects of life. While we continue to feature destinations that make our state wonderful, please take proper precautions or add them to your bucket list to see at a later date. If you know of a local business that could use some extra support during these times, please nominate them here: onlyinyourstate.com/nominate
The gorgeous grounds are filled with sculptures and every inch of the exterior is covered in color. Luna Parc looks like something out of a dream or a fairy tale, in the most wonderful way. If you think it looks incredible from afar, you'll love the intricate details up close.
The interior may be even more magical. It's packed with art, artifacts, stained glass, stringed instruments, taxidermy, religious icons, and almost anything else you could imagine.
You can't fully appreciate the magic of this space unless you see it for yourself. Though this is a private residence, it is occasionally open to the public for special events. If you're in the area, you should absolutely check it out. Even if you're not, it's worth a drive.
Not only is this beautiful home a work of art in itself, it is a testament to hard work, creativity and the power of dreams. Ricky Boscarino had a vision, and with dedication and imagination, he made it a reality.
