Minneapolis Sculpture Garden

It's hard to find a better one two punch than going to the Walker Art Center and then heading out into the Sculpture Garden for a walk around. The Spoonbridge and Cherry are known worldwide and here you get a chance to see it up close and personal. If you're lucky, one of the cool chairs right by it will be open and you can take a load off for a few minutes and just sit back and relax, as long as the geese will let you :) Be sure to walk all around the park. The quiet corners are some of the coolest spots.

The Minneapolis Sculpture Garden is a beautifully maintained and green oasis in the city, perfect for art and nature lovers alike. The park is incredibly well-kept, with lush lawns and landscaped paths that make strolling through the garden a peaceful experience. The sculptures are stunning, with a diverse range of artwork that’s both thought-provoking and visually impressive. One of the highlights is the iconic “Spoonbridge and Cherry” sculpture, which has become a symbol of the city. Nearby, there’s a beautiful bridge that offers picturesque views and adds to the charm of the area. Whether you’re an art enthusiast or just looking for a scenic place to relax, the Minneapolis Sculpture Garden is a must-visit spot that brings together creativity and natural beauty in a harmonious way.

Pull off to the side of the park, it is paid parking with number slots. You pay at the kiosk, $0.50 every hour! It cost us $1.00 for two hours. Took about an hour to see every piece of art. There's also a parking lot that is paid parking! I definitely recommend this park. It's free!

Beautiful place to take a walk and take some pictures at the iconic Minneapolis sculpture, nice city view. There's a paid Parking lot with very inexpensive rates

Yes it’s true, there is a giant Spoon and Cherry, but there is so much more. Larger than life art that encourages you to interact and discover new curiosities. This is always a stop on my personal list of attractions for visiting friends. Parking on the street along the park is 50 cents per hour. There is a public restroom that was available in September although I have no idea if that amenity is seasonal. The park itself is free. On my most recent meandering we walked about a mile and spent about 45 minutes to see the park.

Very cool place for a stroll. If you need some fresh air, and want a stroll through the park, this is a nice addition. Restrooms are closed seasonally.

We visited the garden on a beautiful fall day. We took our time and stopped at each exhibit and read the sign explaining the artwork. It's a relaxing place to spend an hour or two.

This is a fantastic place to wander 11 acres of some iconic Minneapolisness. There’s a lot more to this place than the Spoonbridge and the Cherry and the Big Blue Rooster! If you haven’t been or it’s been a while, it’s a great place for a stroll with kids, friends, a date; tons of great photo ops. Also lots of native wildflowers and beautiful views. Best of all, it’s free!

Such a fun (and free) park to visit! I love date nights wandering this park, there are so many insta-worthy spots. We even love having formal extended family photo sessions here, since there's so much to check out while you wait. A few on-street free parking spots are available, but there is ample paid parking a block away, or for a few more dollars you can have covered parking in the Walker Art Center's underground garage.

The Minneapolis Sculpture Garden is a free, somewhat small, walkable park area that's across the street from the Walker Art Center, and it's open for visitors from 6am to midnight every day. I love the concept of the Minneapolis Sculpture Garden, but it feels like some updates to the space - or better maintenance/upkeep - are needed. I fully understand that there's an intention/claim that they work to restore native flowers and habitation by letting things grow, but the *look* of the park is that it's fairly overgrown and poorly maintained. Honestly, it just looks like a bit of a mess. It's entirely possible to allow for growth of the natural flowers and all that while also accounting for general maintenance of the space... and you have to be able to balance those things in order to really allow for a garden like this to be appealing while also aligning with intent. In addition to the look of overgrowth, it seems like the overall remodeling of the space hasn't been especially positive. After I visited, a friend of mine (who has been living in/around Minneapolis for YEARS), noted "You should have seen it years ago. It's changed and a lot of us don't like it." I can understand why... besides the remodeling essentially meaning minimal shade and full views of the highway, it sounds like the remodeled sculpture garden is just really bare. On top of that, the areas where you are able to walk are inconsistent - some are paved, some are gravel. Some of those unpaved areas have metal that can stick out (they were probably once covered by gravel, but the general lack of maintenance has meant it's likely they haven't received proper attention either). I guess I was just generally underwhelmed. Besides the Spoonbridge and Cherry, and then the blue rooster, there's not really much going on here that you'll remember after you leave. I LOVE museums, arboretums/gardens, public art, and all kinds of similar spaces... so I really wanted to love the Minneapolis Sculpture Garden too. I just don't think this garden is really all that appealing as it's currently organized or maintained. TL;DR. Glad I went once, but wouldn't feel the need to return unless there was some kind of larger design overhaul. If you're pressed for time? You can definitely skip this space.

Perfect way to end our day with cherry on top [Minneapolis MN] ... a trip to the Minneapolis Sculpture Garden. The park is located near the Walker Art Center free and open to the public from 6:00a to midnight 365 days a year. The Sculpture Garden is one of the crown jewels of the city so we had to see for ourselves. This art installation is huge! Unfortunately, it was starting to get dark around 8:30p and we were unable to see all the sculptures. The ones we saw, though, were cool especially that iconic spoon with cherry on top [Spoonbridge & Cherry], and the blue rooster [Hahn/Cock] and also the LOVE sculpture by Robert Indiana. I'm happy that I got to see a piece of the 11+ acres of sculptures and art pieces but I would love to see the rest of them so hope to get another glimpse on my next business trip back. Review #3120

Fun park! There is a parking lot or street parking available. It is a short walk around the park with several sculptures throughout the walk. The sculptures are interactive and thought provoking. Bring a camera so you can take some fun pictures.

Very fun, free outdoor sculpture garden. I recommend parking in the paid garage across the street which is temperature controlled and then has restrooms to access. Can be done in as short of an hour or take your time and spend 2 hours roaming the grounds.

What a fun way to wrap up our visit to Minneapolis, and see part of the city from across the highway. We loved the art installations, especially the giant spoon with the cherry! And what a nice sized park! It's small enough that you can really enjoy what you're seeing without needing to spend loads of time doing so, but spread out enough that you're not right on top of each other. Loved following the paths and taking our time; wish we'd had time for a picnic!

This was a cute lil spot. We ended up going here because we wanted to take some pictures and it was free. It didn't disappoint us especially to be free. Each of the sculptures had a little plaque close to it so we could find out more information about the sculpture. For someone with minor mobility issues like me, there is a lot of seating around the garden so you can rest. There's cheap parking right across the street so it's easily accessible. We were there while they were installing something so that was interesting to watch too. It's not too big and you definitely can take cute pictures with your family.

A must-stop while you're in Minneapolis! I went on a day when the museum was closed, but you can still walk around the garden to take in all of the sculptures. There's a lot to check out, but I found you could see everything and take all the photos you want in about 45 minutes or so. Pro tip: Since I went on a weekday when the museum was closed, no one got in the way of my photos! If you're looking for the perfect picture consider doing the same!

If you know me, you know I'm a sucker for public art installations. They always bring me so much joy. So naturally during my last trip to Minnesota we just had to check out the Minneapolis Sculpture Garden. STAR #1 - When LOCATION is everything, Minneapolis Sculpture Garden really nails it. In the heart of downtown Minneapolis, this artistic oasis gives you a great opportunity to take in the views of the city, while taking in all the epic art. STAR #2 - Holy awesome artwork! With more than 45 pieces, this art installation is MASSIVE. I love the way the pieces just flow across the landscape. STAR #3 - Many of the pieces are interactive! Whether it's standing on the swing of Arikidea, walking through Black Vessel for a Saint, or posing with Love; there's no shortage of art to immerse yourself in. STAR #4 - No matter the season, there's absolutely something to see here. While I visited during the early summer months, it's equally impressive in the depths of winter. STAR #5 - The art is just so FUN! My favorite pieces are definitely "Spoon Bridge and Cherry" and "Hahn (Cock)". I love the use of everyday things and changing their size, color, and composition to really make the viewer think about them. I can see why the Minneapolis Sculpture Garden is such a must-see attraction. I'd gladly come back.

Perfect place to take a stroll after meals. Open space with lots of green but no shades unless I'm the picnic area. Great place to take pictures. Parking lot with lots of spaces available for $4/day. I don't know how much is street parking. It's conveniently located right off the freeway across from the art museum.

This is just a great walk about to spend some time walking and enjoying the outside and some unique and beautiful sculptures. There are some really interesting pieces and it is very pleasant. Parking is close. Great before or after skyline golf on top of the Walker or a bite to eat.

I needed to come here because I've been obsessed with Spoonbridge and Cherry for a long time. I even forced my school mates to make our final sugar piece project on it when I was in culinary school. So knowing I was finally in the same city, I HAD to come check it out, snow be d@mned. I was a liiiiiiiitle underwhelmed as I thought the piece was larger than it is. However, in person, it's just as lovely as I thought it would be. The whole sculpture garden is a vibe that I just love. There are plenty of thought provoking pieces and some of them are interactive. I loved the layout of all the pieces, including when you head toward the Walker Art Center. It was super easy to get to from our hotel even though the walk was a bit long. We saw plenty of street parking and a fairly large lot. Since this experience is free, I'd say it's a must do when you're in Minneapolis.

We were here for a few days and did a nice walk around the area and checked out the unique sculptures they had available. Parking is easy too~

An off the beaten path attraction in the Twin Cities. Why fight loads of crowds at the Mall of America when you've got this beautiful, serene park that not many tourists go to? It does not matter what time of year you visit, whether in January or in July - this park is still worth checking out no matter what. Each sculpture is beautifully made and evokes a story in one's head. It's a great way to get away from the hustle bustle life of the city, and the park is clean and well maintained. That's something you don't come across every day unfortunately... I will be back here again should I end up visiting the Twin Cities again over the summer.

What is there to not love about a sculpture park that is beautiful, creative and free. It is located downtown Minneapolis so you are able to see some great views of the city while you enjoy these beautiful art pieces. The area is not very large but there are a decent amount of art pieces. The cherry with the spoon and the blue rooster were among the most popular ones but there were so many more to love. I really loved the bridge that connected the the parks. There is an art museum next to it and that's free as well. It has a shop, a restaurant and a mini golf. You are welcome. But I digress, come visit the park and you will enjoy your time there while listening to the church bells. If you are lucky you might even catch the macaroon bus.

This place is simply amazing. This is a must see attraction in Minneapolis. It is an outdoor art gallery that is packed with wonderful and unique pieces. Some of the pieces are interactive such as the swing that visitors can get on. It is very popular with the Instagram crowd. There is also wind chimes. All-in all there are over 40 pieces housed there. I cannot stress enough, how nice most of the art in the Garden is. They could be featured in some high-end galleries if the artist choose to display them there. The Garden was opened in 1988 and is a partnership between the Walker Art Center and the Minneapolis Park & Recreation Board. It spans 11 acres, is free to visit and is open from 6 AM to midnight every day. The centerpiece of the garden is a sculpture of a cherry on a spoon sitting in a small lake. The cherry has water spouting out of its stem and the spoon has water falling from it. There are Adirondack chairs on the lawn surrounding the lake that visitors can sit, relax and enjoy the sculpture. You will find a shelter with picnic tables at the garden, a picturesque arched walkway and benches with some snazzy sayings on them. The Cowles Pavilion and Alene Grossman Memorial Arbor are located in the garden. The garden's art collection also includes a bridge that serves as it background. Yes, a bridge, the Irene Hixon Whitney Bridge. Parking here is somewhat simple. There is a metered parking lot right next to the park and there is also limited free street parking on the side of the park, just outside the lot, as well. This is a cool spot to just hang out, especially during a nice weather day. They host special events there including yoga on the lawn, Free First Saturday: Garden Party. I spent about an hour and a half there and could have easily spent more. I am glad that I was able to experience this Garden and highly recommend that you check it out as well.

Great sculptures. Great walking paths. Definitely a fun thing to do when it's warmer. I like taking walks here especially when Minnesota starts to thaw lol. Plus you can't come to Minneapolis and not see the cherry on the spoon?? It's right by the walker art center which has a good restaurant. Just a great activity for an easy summer day

When I was researching things to do in Minneapolis, this garden kept popping up to visit. I'm so glad it checked out this garden. This outdoor gallery is incredible with various pieces of work. The giant spool is the highlight of this garden. I had wished I returned to the garden at night to see how different this garden looked. Check it out and enjoy!

Fun sculptures & nice walk. There's a bridge to walk across as well but I didn't have time to do it. Allow 1-2 hours if you want to walk across the bridge.

The sculpture garden is a "must visit" when in the Twin Cities. It has beautiful works of art that are iconic! I love being able to walk through all the different walkways and separate gardens to see the sculptures. Some of the pieces also are interactive or have addition windows to look through. This is a great free activity to do on a nice afternoon - the Walker Art Museum is right next door, too!

A great place to spend a few hours exploring on a clear day. Large and imposing pieces of art are scattered across the garden, including up the hillside next to the Walker Art Center. I honestly preferred the more park-like setting from years ago with more trees and grass. I appreciate the desire to bring back more native plants but think they could have kept some of the trees that lined the garden before. I do love the changes they made to the hillside by the Walker though. This is a great spot for creative photos and discussions about sculptures and artists' intent. Be sure to climb up the path next to the Walker and head back to the room that's built into hillside. This is one of my favorite hidden spots. Lay on the bench and watch the clouds go by as you contemplate the questions of the universe.

Definitely an unique place and a landmark here in Minneapolis. It's good to read the plaque for each statue. So you know what the creator was trying to accomplish. Definitely some unique items, but maybe tine to rotate the items and get a new sculpture in. Great views of the city also.

Beautiful park & view. The sculpture were amazing. Great place for family. The bridge was also nice!

Date of visit: 2/26/22 Minneapolis isn't known for its things to do in the colder months, but that's when we were there visiting a friend who decamped back to Minnesota a couple years earlier. This is one of his favorite spots and it was pretty cool, overall. Visiting in the winter, I do wish there were a few more actual paths to get closer to the art rather than tromping through the snow, and it didn't seem as though every piece had a good sign that detailed the composition of the item and/or the inspiration for it. Should I find myself back in the Mini Apple (no one actually says that, right?) in warmer weather, I wouldn't be opposed to checking it out again when I can linger a bit longer in the out of doors.

A MUST SEE IF YOU ARE VISITING MINNEAPOLIS! A great place to take a stroll, go on a break, eat a meal, or to simply just enjoy art. The cherry spoon is definitely the most iconic sculpture in the garden, but don't miss out on the blue & yellow bridge and blue chicken! Note: the garden is completely free as well as parking!

This is a classic spot for anyone to hit in Minneapolis, tourist or local, if you want to see an iconic sculpture while also taking in other art forms from artists of all different backgrounds. The highlight of the Sculpture Garden, of course, is the Spoonbridge and Cherry sculpture. No matter what time of year it is, it's almost guaranteed that you'll see a long line of people lined up to take selfies with the famous landmark, so be prepared to wait and be more than a little patient if you want to get a good shot of you and the sculpture without a lot of interference in the background. If anything, just be ready to settle with a selfie that will have a lot of things going on in the background, such as numerous other people taking selfies, dogs running around and getting excited about being outside, or people lounging around on picnic blankets, talking and eating and enjoying the weather. There's a lot more to offer than just the Spoonbridge and Cherry sculpture though--there's numerous winding paths between many different art pieces/sculptures, and they're pretty varied. You have artwork from Indigenous artists representing their local/Minnesotan history; colorful pieces like the big Blue Rooster sculpture that's becoming arguably as famous as the Spoonbridge and Cherry; and many whimsical pieces that play music or make certain sounds depending on how it is touched or how the wind blows on it. Long story short, there's art here for everyone, even little kids who might otherwise be bored walking around a sculpture garden, so bring the whole family! Another major bonus of this place is that it is dog-friendly. They encourage you to bring your dog with you and wander along the paths, and it's the perfect outdoor activity in the Spring or Fall if you're looking to get out with Fido and still want to get some local culture in. A word of warning though--my girlfriend and I went one time at the end of July and it was brutal, about 90 degrees outside, and super packed. My dog became anxious from the high number of people around (we went on a Saturday like rookies), and the heat, combined with virtually no shade, caused him to start to breathe pretty heavily. There's not a lot of shade along the pathways, so if you're going to bring your dog, make sure he/she has a lot of water available (we brought a doggie water bottle with us) and try to visit when the sun isn't directly above you without any kind of cloud cover. Parking is one other thing that can be a bit of a headache here--you have to pay for it at a kiosk, and when we went last time, several of them were broken, meaning you had to either download the parking app that the kiosk also worked with, or you had to wait in a long line while most of the parking lot all converged on the one kiosk that was working near the front of the parking lot. Basically, if you can find a time when it's not the weekend, parking shouldn't be bad, but beware otherwise, as you could be circling for a good 10 minutes for a spot and then take another 10 just to pay for the spot.

It's pretty iconic because of the cherry on the spoon. But there are other fun things there, like a rust colored LOVE sign, a blue rooster and other things that catch the eye. Honestly, the only bad part is that you have to pay a $4 flat rate for parking (but it's for all day...just FYI).

Peaceful, beautiful, family friendly gardens. My husband and I took a stroll in the afternoon and we found it very relaxing. It's a must do in Minneapolis, and the hallmark of our stay here.

This is one of those "must see" if you are in the Minneapolis area. Cool and quirky at the same time. Some of them seem a bit incomplete others are perfecr. Go before noon with less people.

My wife and I were looking for a cool place to visit before our wonderful lunch at NOLO in the North Minneapolis Loop neighborhood, Super hipster, but that is okay. We saw some runners and walkers enjoying themselves and they had some cool new statues since we have been there ten years ago. The big blue rooster was the most impressive and there were a bunch of new sculptures we hadn't seen. The cherry and spoon and Love sculptures needed a paint job, but overall, it is a fun place to spend 45 minutes walking. I really liked the hare sculpture. Good times and near downtown.

Can't wait to go back here in the non snowy months. So much history in these art installations.

I thought the sculpture garden was absolutely beautiful. Not as many sculptures as I would have thought from reading about this place, but still well worth the visit. If you are going to the Minneapolis sculpture garden you've probably seen the Cherry and Spoon sculpture, plus the Blue Rooster sculpture. And they are there and exactly what you would expect. But there are also several other, lesser known installations that are worth you taking in. I particularly appreciated the Renaissance Temple (I'm so sorry that I don't remember the actual names of any of the installations). There was also a wind chime installation (only available in the summer) that was beautiful. All in all, you can easily see all of the installations in 30 minutes if that's your goal, but you can also spend much more time taking the installations in. There is also a glass pavilion for lunches, or to sit down and enjoy some time off your feet. There is street parking if you are lucky enough to find some as well as a parking lot that you have to pay for. Another fringe benefit of the sculpture garden is that it offers beautiful views of St Mary's Basilica and the downtown skyline. If you are looking for "the sights" in Minneapolis, definitely stop here.

It's free space with free parking in the heart of the city - any questions. It helps that the exhibits are interesting even your not a fan of modern art. Just being out here walking around in this park atmosphere surrounded by sculptors surely will make you appreciate being alive. If not considered your self a grinch.

Used to be able to come to the sculpture garden and enjoy a peaceful walk or picnic... Now every 2 minuets there is a nasty voice that comes over the speakers telling you not to do something. Feels like you are being watched from every angle. It's ridiculous and this new change makes me never want to come back. Let people have some fun. I'm sick of feeling like every move I make is monitored. How annoying. Can't even enjoy this place anymore. Would give zero stars but not an option.

Free entrance and parking lot. I always wanted to visit the Minneapolis Sculpture Garden. I was excited to see the Minneapolis famous exhibit of the spoon with the cherry on top with water coming out. It was beautiful and peaceful. Such a great place to come and walk to see the sculpture garden. Just wish it was more sculptures and artwork to see. It's very peaceful and calming. Nice and clean area. I really enjoyed this area and glad I made it apart of my visit to Minneapolis.

Took a walk through the sculpture gardens at sunset, and it was really wonderful. I've seen pictures, but they really can't do it justice; it's really special to see them in person. A highlight of our stay in Minneapolis.

I've visited Minneapolis so many times within the past 10 years and never have I stopped by the Minneapolis Sculpture Garden. So! I finally did and it was worth the wait. It was worth the wait. I was mainly there to enjoy the long walks. I prefer going later in the evening when the sun sets for some quiet time and space. Plenty was not an issue, so much parking to go around. It's a really neat space whether you're into art or not. If you're visiting the area, it's a must-see!

After speeding through MIA, we were hungry for more art and decided to hop on over to Walker Art Center. Hesitant to shell out the admission fee so close to closing time, we skipped the museum interior and went straight to the sculpture garden. This outdoor attraction is open-space and free to all boasting nearly 60 pieces of art in the heart of Minneapolis. (Note that street parking is hard to find, but there's a lot on one side and a paid garage near the museum itself.) Here is where you'll find the iconic "Spoonbridge and Cherry" and many other fun sculptures. Some are interactive while most others are more delicate. Some of the art doesn't even show itself unless it's rainy! Despite arriving at prime time on Friday evening, it wasn't terribly busy aside from the prom-goers taking photos. Without the crowds, we took in the park quicker than we thought and were on to our next sightseeing attraction. Though there is plenty of open lawn space and a covered picnic area to relax and enjoy the art and skyline, if you wish. Highly recommend for free, outside attractions and photo ops!

This place was one my favorites when visiting Minneapolis. I highly recommend renting a Lime Scooter and riding it around the garden and the outskirts in the afternoon when the breeze and weather are perfect. It felt amazing and almost heavenly. Can't wait to go Back someday!

A great and fun way to spend in Minneapolis if you're looking for free things to do. Obviously the cherry and spoon sculpture is the most popular one but they actually have several other cool sculptures in the garden worth reading and checking out. It's part of the Walker Art Center so be sure to check that out if you have time. It's very walkable from Downtown Minneapolis and a fun little spot to have a picnic even. We loved it here!

When I was a resident of Minnesota, I sent a greeting card of Spoonbridge and Cherry to a friend. It was whimsical and a perfect way to represent a cool thing about the state. Well, I finally decided to visit the giant cherry on a spoon by visiting the Minneapolis Sculpture Garden last weekend. A friend from high school recently told me that I like taking photos of quirky, unusual things. Perhaps that's one reason why I absolutely enjoyed meandering this garden and appreciating the sculptures here. There's Hahn/Cock, a blue rooster that you can't miss. Woodrow is a horse made up of tree sticks and twigs. For whom... is a swing where up to four people can stand and swing on it. There are benches with sayings on them as you walk along. There's so much coolness to soak up! I spent over two hours walking around on a grey fall day. It was 2°C. I was warm in my lightweight puffy coat. I didn't have a hat or mitts on. This garden is across from Walker Art Center. You can press your luck by parking on the street on weekends. I ended up doing the law-abiding thing and parked in the official lot. It was a flat rate of $4, which didn't break my bank. There is a fair amount of walking. I walked and rewalked the garden, so I felt good squeezing in an artsy walk and some exercise. There are also Lyft scooters that you can rent. I saw a father-daughter combo rent one. It looked like fun! The garden is free to visit. If you want to do Minneapolis on a tight budget and enjoy cool art pieces, come here. It's worth dropping by. (411)

We had a fun time walking around the sculpture garden (best part is that it's free!) but some updates are definitely needed. Some parts are paved, but the parts where the gravel lays have metal barriers that stick up because of the lack of gravel there. Doesn't seem very safe if children are running around or if someone is in a wheelchair. Also wish that more of the artwork was labelled! There were some that did not have a sign at all to name to artwork or credit the artist.

When I was investigating what Minneapolis had to offer my family for a vacation once I saw the photo of the spoon and cherry I immediately was interested! I love art and I thought what a cool concept. My husband, not a man who says he understands art, said it was cool and he was glad we did it. We found ourselves visiting on a sunny, hot Friday. Luckily for us, the Walker museum was running an arts in the park type program for kids. They set us up with some colored pencils and a nice tote but also showed us a sculpture to find in the garden to be inspired to make a piece of art. My daughter (10) really got into it and I enjoyed watching her. One sculpture had a swing built into it- fun for the fam! We saw a few butterflies. Overall my family enjoyed this little excursion. Pro tip: there was an ice cream truck parked abutting the garden so we indulged in a little treat!

It's so fun to walk around and see such interesting works of art. Although museums are unique experiences of their own, being in and around large sculptures is just a whole new way to appreciate the art world. It's a nice place for relaxing and walking. All sculptures are very interesting works of art. It's nice that it's free to the public, but you may have to pay for parking if you can't find a spot on the street. I highly recommend stopping by if you are visiting Minneapolis.

Fun to walk through and see the art. It was cold so we were not able to hang out too long. Creative and incredible artwork. The bridge was especially impressive.

This was a beautiful place to stroll thru or sit and enjoy the artwork and greenery. There's a coffee spot within a 15 min walk so having a refreshing drink in hand will make your stroll more pleasurable. The art was colorful, fun, and one was even interactive. This space was really pretty with flowers and native plant species throughout. The whole area was well maintained. Some spots are shaded while others are under the warm sun. The walking bridge overhead and to the right of the garden provided a nice view of the city so take a peek. The parking lot was full due to the Labor Day weekend crowd, but there's plenty of street parking. I would love to come here again and see new artwork (if it does changes). The is def a great (and free) spot to visit.

Be prepared to pay $4 for parking. We walked around the park in about 30 minutes. At 8pm on a Sunday there was some interesting people hanging about. The sculptures were pretty cool to see in person.

Great place to walk around and see all the beautiful sculptures I love the sounds of tree with all the wind shines

The sculpture garden is a neat area to walk around, sit, or admire art. The cherry and spoon is iconic, and the cherry stem shoots out a mist of water that is refreshing on hot days. Some of the garden is gravel, and some is paved. There's a pedestrian bridge that crossed over the highway and connects to Loring Park. Street parking is free for one hour, or there's a parking lot that is $4 for all day.

This seems like a great idea, but you aren't allowed to interact with the sculptures at all. If anyone attempts to interact with the sculptures there is an announcement to step away from the sculptures. There are some cool ones, but I've been to better sculpture gardens for sure.
