SUNKEN GARDENS - ST. PETERSBURG'S HISTORIC SECRET GARDEN

Historical SUNKEN GARDENS – St. Pete’s secret garden!

 Looking for a fun family outing or some time to your self? Check out Sunken Gardens!

Sunken Gardens is a Historic St. Petersburg botanical wonder. It’s a labyrinth of shady pathways that wind through the secret gardens. As a child I remember the Extotic Birds, Monkeys and Alligators being there and running around on the winding pathway, playing in the gardens. I am so glad that it is still around to enjoy!

 I take my toddler here and she loves it. She loves to look at all the plants and flowers. We blow bubbles on the wedding lawn, there is plenty of room to run around and play.  We take snacks or have a picnic lunch.

 There are several Koi ponds throughout the gardens so make sure you get a bag, if not two of the Koi fish food pellets located in the lobby. They are $1.00 a bag and totally worth it. It’s always a lot of fun to watch how thrilled my tot is to feed the fish. You can almost reach out and touch them. SO MUCH FUN!

My little explorer is always so excited to be close to the Macaws and Flamingos. She loves to hear the Kookaburra birds laugh wildly.

If you’re looking for a photo spot, this is a great place! All the lush foliage, exotic trees and flowers, Lily ponds, little shady corners and pathways, the Butterfly, Cactus, and Japanese gardens. There are several mini waterfalls and an arched bridge. ALL make the perfect backdrops for photos. JUST BEAUTIFUL! LOVE IT!!

A Classic Photo MUST is putting your face through the SUNKEN GARDENS RING located by the Wedding Lawn.

In addition to being a great place to get lost in for a couple of hours, SUNKEN GARDENS offers a variety of Horticultural Educational Workshops/Programs and Special Events.
