With just a very quick detour off the main highway, you can see an almost 60 - foot tall statue of the Jolly Green Giant. Take exit 119 off of I-90; it is right behind the Dairy Queen. I was there most recently in the winter and it was quite cold, but when the weather is nice, the spacious grounds would be the perfect place to stretch your legs in the midst of a long road trip. There are several informative plaques telling some of the history of the statue. As a bonus, if you go to the gas station just off the exit, there is a statue of Little Sprout outside its doors. Definitely a fun place to go, have your picture taken, and say you've been.

Good place to break up a long boring drive -------------- Weird photo op. We visited this spot about 25 yrs ago, and it's changed a lot since then...now they have a well-cared for park with lots of picnic tables. Worked great for taking the dog for a walk. We had a nice picnic lunch on a beautiful day -- then we walked next door and got hot fudge sundaes at the DQ, and brought them back to the park. *There's also a Walmart closeby - in case you need anything for your roadtrip. *There is a small giftshop at the Green Giant Park -- that I would have liked to go in. The posted sign said that someone would return at 1pm, but that never happened --- so we had to skip it :-(

We got off the interstate in Blue Earth to gas-up for the trip across America and came upon a sign that pointed us to the Green Giant. This was a free, fun, photogenic, and memorable sight in our brief time driving through Minnesota. You've got to stop by just to say you were in a town called Blue Earth where a 60 foot green fiberglass statue lives. (Blue Earth is named after the blue clay of the area. Most folks I asked didn't know how the town got its name - one employee at McDonald's did.)

Since we were driving through the area we had to stop at the green giant!! It's very easy to get to and provided some time to get out of the car, stretch and get some unique pictures!

This is a great place to stop and walk around. It helps to break up the monotony of the boring I90 through Minnesota.

Just a small diversion after a long day. We have seen the Paul Bunyan & Blue ox now we have seen the Green Giant. Out lives are complete

Blue Earth, MN Home of the Jolly Green Giant. Great photo op of a roadside oddity. Be sure to climb the stairs in back. Too bad that they did not give out Eskimo Pies ... They were invented here also. Fun stop on the interstate.

Suppose you were building the longest interstate highway in the United States by having one team start on the west coast and having it build east and having another team start on the east coast and having it build west. How would you commemorate the spot where the two teams finally met up? Maybe you could build a giant crossroads. Possibly you could build something that symbolized east and west. Or perhaps even a giant statue to Dwight D. Eisenhower, who tirelessly championed the interstate system while conducting the D Day invasion of Normandy.Nope. Nothing screams the crossroads of America better than a giant statue of a happy green giant.No trip down Interstate 90 is complete without a photo-op in front of this 55 foot symbol of canned vegetables. And so we stopped here on June 28, 2014, paying homage to the green giant that was built shortly after the east and west crews building I-90 linked up in 1978. Ike would have been proud. Ho ho ho, Green Giant.

This statue of the Jolly Green Giant (ho oh oh, green giant!) is set in a very nice park, easily reached from I-90 at Blie Earth, MN. He may be seen from the highway, among large oak trees. The park features a small gift/information building that looks like a one-room schoolhouse, and a couple of photo-op dugouts of the Green Giant and Sprout. The grass and flowers are well-kept, and the are several picnic tables scattered under the huge trees. A Dairy Queen is almost adjacent, but is blocked by the trees, so you could get food there and walk over to enjoy in Green Giant Park!

We stopped here on our drive from Sioux Falls to Minneapolis. There's not much to see, but it's a great place to get out of the car and stretch your legs for a few minutes. There's a Dairy Queen nearby if you need some food. I was hoping this stop would inspire my boys to eat their veggies, but it did no such thing.

This is a great stop for a few minutes to get off the highway and stretch your legs. It is also one of the most bizarre things that I have ever seen. It is located behind a Dairy Queen and across the street from a Wal Mart. And, lo and behold, there is a 55 foot tall giant standing in the middle of a small park.One word of advise.... if you go after it rains, bring bug spray. There were hoards of mosquitoes!

Two years ago, we happened upon the Jolly Green Giant and we had to visit him again! This is a perfect stop to stretch your legs for a 5-15 minute visit. Climb a few steps to stand under the giant and get that family photo, you will not regret it!Please note that the gift shop is not open on Sundays and the bathrooms are portable toilets.

This "attraction" is mainly a good way to break up a monotonus drive across Minnesota en route to The Badlands or Custer State Park. We were looking forward to a family photo with Jolly Green for a possible future Christmas card. Problem was we were the only family at the attraction so there were no other tourists to ask to snap a picture for us. There is a picnic area at the attraction. You can climb the stairs and stand on the platform. Keep in mind your family photo will be dwarfed by the giant if you include all of him in the photo. This attraction is visible from the interstate but we did have a little trouble navigating to it. I'm glad we made the effort to stop here. We got some silly photos for the scrapbook.

A great place to see something different and stretch your legs. The giant is super green and easy to spot from I90. Some friends of ours told us to be on the lookout for him. There is a little museum on site as well. We were even interviewed for a radio show about visitors at the park. It was fun!

Even in the rain, the Green Giant Statue is a must see if ever traveling along I-90 in Southern Minnesota. The statue sits just off the interstate and makes for great photo-opportunities for couples and families alike. The attraction is free and there is plenty of free parking right up next to it. Travel into town to the museum if you want to learn more about the Green Giant company, if time doesn't allow, there is a few facts on the sign that will help you “impress your friends”. Another great Minnesota road side attraction.
