Precious Moments Park and Chapel

The Precious Moments Park features extensive gardens, sculptures, and a chapel decorated with murals depicting biblical stories through signature big-eyed character designs.

Samuel J. Butcher established this multi-million-dollar attraction in 1989, spending over 500 hours painting 75 angels on the chapel ceiling from scaffolding.

The chapel walls contain 5,000 square feet of artwork illustrating biblical narratives, including the Hallelujah Square mural showing children arriving in heaven.

Located off Interstate 44, the park maintains daily operations from 10:30 AM to 4:00 PM with free admission for all visitors throughout the year.

The park includes a life-sized interpretation of the Sistine Chapel, featuring murals that transform traditional religious scenes using child-like figurine characters.
