The 30-Foot Giant Eyeball

If you're looking for something a little out of the box, check out the giant eyeball structure just outside of The Joule Hotel. The art piece was created by Tony Tasset in 2007, but was brought to its permanent Texas home in 2013. This thing is massive and is the height of three African Bush Elephants!
