Nicely preserved and displayed. Nice park also. Always enjoy a covered bridge also.

The stump and old Ben are enclosed so you cannot get too close to them, it also made pictures difficult. All that said, I thought it was cool. I was looking forward to seeing Ben - he was very large! Quite the impressive animal! The stump was huge! They are tight next to each other so its a fun trip.If you have children, there is a great park nearby (swings, cool slides, zip line, etc). Lots of grassy areas, dogs must be leashed.

Great corner of the park to walk ones dogs, especially this time of year with the squirrels out in force. Lol, multiplies the exercise the walker gets threefold!

Very clean and quiet. More than enough tables, but going mid week helps a lot. Weekends can get a bit hectic. Great place to bring your kids and dogs.

Really cool to see I personally and all about seeing the worlds largest. So seeing the worlds largest stump and cow was awesome. They could use some signs maybe saying its there when we pulled up to the park we didnt see anything so we just started walking towards the building and hoped we were going the right way.

Awesome area for a family reunion. Ive lived 74 years in Kokomo and never tire of Highland Park with Old Ben and the Sycamore Stump. While some make fun, nearly everyone goes at some point and always take their kids.

Went for the Polar Bear Ride and had to check out the sights. The glass enclosures and not the best lighting made it a little difficult to see.

Fun place to go and visit. You learn about the big steer and stump. Also this is in the Highland Park area which is a very nice place to take your family at the play ground . There is also a baseball diamond for Minor league games . Lots of picnic areas. There is also a covered bridge you can wald across.

Mildly interesting kokomo landmark that warrants maybe a 15 minute visit if youre reeeeally good at finding things to be interested by. Cant get close to the stump, and glare tends to make it hard to see.I usually take people here as a joke, to show how uninteresting kokomo is.

Highland Park is a Kokomo treasure. Grew up at that park. From the playground to walking the Indian trails. There is so much to see and do, and dont forget a treat for the ducks and squirrels too. Fishing, jogging, biking, and disc golf too. So much fun for everyone no matter if your eighty or two.

The park was peaceful but I couldnt get a good pic of the big cow and giant stump because the glass cage surrounding it had a terrible glare and the museum was closed...bust!

A tree stump and a cow, but both are impressive

Interesting piece of history. Educational. Wish we could have gone in to see it, because its hard to see the whole stump through the Windows, and there is no good way to get a picture with the glare. It was a nice park and worth the stop.
