There is now a fence along the right side of Parnassus Lane when driving towards Big Pink. We were…read moreable to see the Big Pink house through the fence, but my wife forced me to turn the car around before we got to the driveway because of the No Trespassing signs. I didn't blame her because I'm not looking to get shot. I love The Band, but I'm also seen the movie Deliverance so we turned around. I'm not sure how friendly the current occupants of Big Pink are, but I'm not sure the neighbors are too keen on visitors driving down Parnassus - it feels like someone's private driveway. UPDATE: I see from Kathleen D.'s review from 2014 the current owners (Don and Sue) are friendly and actually rent out Big Pink for others to stay in. However, I notice the website (https://bigpinkbasement.com/) has updates from 2015 and I wasn't sure what the current situation was like in 2024. I reached out on the website's Contact Us form and here's the response I received: "Hi Julian, Yes you may come down the road at your own risk. A neighbor put up the signs. We are still renting, the link to VRBO is on the big pink basement website. There is a minimum of 3 nights. If you have trouble booking please let me know. All the best, Susan LaSala"

My boyfriend and I hopped into our car and head on over. This barn silo turned is part of the Emerson Spa and Resort. The nice part is that if you're not staying at the resort you can see the attraction. To view the exhibit, you need $5 cash. Thankfully the show runs pretty regularly so if you need to run somewhere for cash you can. The viewing room for the kaleidoscope is pretty small. You can either lean against some cushions and stand, or you can lay on the floor. We ended up standing as there was a group of younger kids on the floor already. The gift shop has a lot of cool items in it too so definitely check that out while you're there!!
