We bought lunch at a restaurant and picnicked at the gardens then took our time walking around. What a wonderful welcome to Florida! Full review by Trip01331465527

Really nice small gardens, however poor value for money at $15 for 1 person compared to Naples Botanical gardens at $25. Full review by OnAir47568243627

Beautiful and tranquil tropical gardens in the middle of the city. Don't miss the birds and the flamingos. It's worth about an hour on a nice morning in St Petersburg. Full review by David W

Q:
What is the best time of year to visit if I want to see rainbow colors on the rainbow gum tree?

A:
I don’t believe so, I tried to post a link to the St. Pete site but it stopped me. I recommend googling and clicking the St Pete link. Also, check Groupon for a deal.

Q:
I thought they closed down . Cause I remember going there as kid . I loved the wax figures of Jesus life . That was my favorite part . But I remember them closing and getting rid of their figurines . When did they reopen?
A:
It is just a flower & plant garden. I used to go there as a child also. Sunken Gardens never had statues of Jesus that I know of. Maybe you are thinking of someplace else.

The Gardens shares a parking lot with a restaurant and a Children's Museum. The lot can get packed on weekends. Sometimes if you circle for awhile, someone will be leaving and a space will open. If not, there is parking across the street. There are many restaurants located on 4th Avenue. So, if you want to eat before or after, you have many choices. The Gardens take about 1 hour to go thru. The gift shop has many nice items to buy. Heads Up: They do close areas of the Gardens for Weddings. Also, check on Groupon for a discount.
