Sunken Gardens-A Botanical Experience is a self paced walk into an Oasis of Color and Beauty. The Gardens are sectioned off into areas, be sure to get a map at the desk. Dont miss the orchid arbor, Wedding Lawn, and Japanese garden. We went in June and the flowers were just gorgeous (see photos) I would say children may get... more

This is a very nice and relaxing place to visit. Lots of beautiful plants and a well kept area. They even have a few parrots to look at. Great place to get away from the busy parks and relax! more

My wife and I visited the gardens on our last day in the Clearwater/St. Pete area after trying to figure what to do after spending most of our time on the beautiful gulf beaches. We didn't have overly high expectations of this place, and that made it even more impressive. Ordinarily we may have just seen this as a nice... more

Has anyone ever attended a wedding at Sunken Gardens? I understand they have a room for that purpose, but I know nothing about proper dress since I haven't been to Sunken Gardens in probably 20 years and didn't know they did weddings. We have a wedding to attend on a Wednesday evening. Any tips would be appreciated. Thank you. more

I have visited here three times, mainly for photo opportunities. It is a little pricey but not too bad. There is something to see anytime of year. I would plan on spending at least an hour here just ambling around. There is a wedding garden, although last time I was there it didn't look as nice as the first two... more

We went at the end of April with a group of 7 women. We have lived in Florida for 25 yrs and this was my first visit to Sunken Gardens. We used our entertainment book and got a BOGO (buy one get one free). It was well worth the admission price of $8 and even better at $4 with the... more

The Sunken Gardens is beautiful. But we went in Feb. and a lot of the plants were not in bloom. I think that Mar. would be a better time to go. more

Light dapples through thick canopies onto beautiful flower beds - all kinds of tropical trees, plants and flowers ... it is just simply beautiful. This is a great place for a quiet walk through with your better half and also for taking tons of great photos. There are a few maccaws (sp?) and another kind of bird that I can't... more

Sunken Gardens is an "Old Florida" attraction that has been nicely updated, and some renovations are still in progress. The new entrance is adjacent to the (new location of the) Great Explorations museum and a combination ticket is available. Discount coupons for $1 off admission are in most tourist guides. It's now open seven days a week. We especially enjoyed... more
