We made a special point of seeing this, after reading all the hype. Found it, paid to park, etc. What a let-down. Just looks like any wall in any inner city alley. GROSS.... just a stinky, filthy mess. It should me cleaned off and done away with.

We parked in the lot on garden alley and broad street and we just happened to walk by the bubblegum alley on our way to check out the many shops (and Farmer's Market on thursdays) on Higuera street RIGHT next to it!

Wow, this was the most gross and disgusting tourist attraction ever. But, yes, I walked through and took a picture anyway. I guess the history is interesting, but this was five minutes of my life that I won't get back!!! The rest of the town is cute and enjoyable. If you do go to see this, do it quickly and... More

Lived here for over 20 years and there are so many sights to see in town. This may have been a nifty catchy touristy thing to get people to stop decades ago but the town has grown into a much more artsy community. If you must, park your car in the lot and take the 3 second walk between the... More
