The Cathedral of Junk is on the private property of the artist. It closes at 5pm. It's incredibly creative and I have no idea how the artist was able to build the structure to such a grand scale. Do note that the site is free but the artist takes donations in the form of cash and venmo. Cashapp and Zelle is not available.
