Considered to be among the best public artworks in the world, Freedom Sculpture or Break Through Your Mold is the most notable work of Philadelphian sculptor, Zenos Frudakis. The figurative bronze sculpture depicts the struggles and breaking free process of an individual. It is 20 feet (6.01 meters) in length and eight feet (2.44 meters) in height. Analogous to Through the Looking-Glass by Lewis Carroll, the wall sculpture creates an intriguing illusion. It is a pictorial journey of a person in four scenes. First as a captive, the second an attempt to set free, third showcases the figure breaking out of the wall to reach out for independence. The final frame is a jubilant figure with an outstretched arm and at a far off distance from the wall. That space is hollow and is often used by visitors to take a selfie.
Bordering on bizarre and maybe even a bit macabre, Cave of Kelpius is a small but one of a kind attraction in Fairmount Park. This man-made cave belongs to the 17th century, when a group of monks formed a cult, predicting the end of the world. They hid here waiting for the end of times, and this history gives the place tremendous importance.

The discovery of the first complete dinosaur skeleton in Haddonfield in 1858 was the beginning of a new era. For the first time, people other than scientists were interested in finding out more about the long-extinct reptiles that walked on the same ground as we did. The skeleton was discovered in a ravine in New Jersey and the specimen was named Hadrosaurus Foulkii. In 2003, a bronze statue was erected to commemorate the discovery. The Haddonfield Dinosaur Sculpture was created by John Giannotti. The statue is 2.4 meters (8 feet) tall and 5.4 meters (18 feet) long. The statue has since been a popular tourist attraction. The actual site of the discovery is marked by a plaque and a stone, but is difficult to access as it is at the bottom of the ravine. If you are somewhere around Haddonfield and are fascinated by dinosaurs, you should check out the Haddonfield Dinosaur Sculpture.
