"Doesn't help that during most festivals, like Christmas in the park, they put the porta potties, around the statue."

"A powerful statue in San Jose that resembles many figures of Ketzalkoatl in many native American communities. Danza and culture take place around the statue as does the celebration of Topiltzin Ketzalkoatl's life. Critiques of the statues saying it was done distastefully out of spite don't really make sense because it looks like many other statues of Ketzalkoatl. Search for the images and you'll see. Great monument overall."

"This statue is a project funded by the city, which became a disaster when the final results were revealed to the public. I've seen this statue before but never really actually went to investigate it's origins. My friend who lives in the area told me more on this. A quick search on Google, showed many different articles and refer the statue as "poo" statue. Now it's become an infamous statue promoted by articles and travel sites as something to come look at in San Jose."

"Not to poo-poo on anyone's public art, but from a distance it looks like well you know... A lump of coal? However there is a sidewalk that surround the sculpture and strongly suggest taking a walk around it, close up. It's a bit boxy of a design but at the same time interesting - plus it's one memorable thing to do when in downtown San Jose!"

"The statue of Quetzalcoatl is an interesting art piece that seems to fit in well with the surrounding architecture and people who inhabit the park. Its really a feature piece that says I'm San Jose and deserves to be the Instagram selfie spot for the city."
