Nine Foot Tall Tales: The Gigantic Bronze Bunny of Detroit Lakes

Hop on in and take a squiz at the curious yarn of the 9-foot bronze bunny that's been taking Detroit Lakes, Minnesota's main thoroughfare by storm. But this critter's history ain't your run-of-the-mill.

Meet the Minnehaha Bunny, a sculpture that's anything but your garden variety. Standing grand at 9-feet, this bronzed marvel reigns supreme over Detroit Lakes, Minnesota's main drag, all thanks to a rather crazy idea conjured up by our very own Minnesota-based artist, Jeff Barber. This furry friend was already garnering some furor back at the bunny barn before it hit the big leagues. So, take a seat, open a cold one, and let's dive into the fascinating saga of Minnehaha Bunny's journey. This bunny was set in motion as part of a public art project way back in 2002.
