Outdoor sculptures often captivate audiences by merging artistic expression with elements of fun and fantasy, much like theme park attractions. Among the most famous is Claes Oldenburg and Coosje van Bruggen’s "Typewriter Eraser, Scale X" in Seattle, a whimsical giant eraser that feels plucked from a surreal amusement park. Another standout is Jeff Koons’ "Balloon Dog," which, though not in a theme park, embodies the playful, oversized aesthetic of carnival sculptures.

In Barcelona, Joan Miró’s "Woman and Bird" fountain dazzles with its colorful, almost cartoonish design, reminiscent of a fairytale-themed park. Meanwhile, "The Kelpies" in Scotland—30-meter-high horse head sculptures—evoke the grandeur of mythical rides found in fantasy-themed attractions.

These sculptures prove that public art can channel the same wonder and excitement as theme parks, turning cityscapes into open-air galleries of imagination.
