I had higher expectations of the sculpture garden. No regrets going, but it was a little disappointing. You can see everything in 20minutes.

Have always wanted to see the giant spoon, and it did not dissappoint. We spent over an hour wandering among all of the works of art. It was a perfect way to spend an afternoon with my two favorite girls. If you are an art lover, or just want to see some neat sculptures this is well worth your time.... More

If you're looking for a nice walk, it's a great place to go. It's the home of the infamous spoon and cherry sculpture.

Free! Beautiful. A nice walk. If you like art, parks and a walk in the sun, check out the Minneapolis Sculpture Garden.

The Minneapolis Sculpture garden is an amazing collection of sculpture. Some beautiful, some thought-provoking, most both. Of course the giant spoon whith a cherry on top is perhaps Minneapolis's best known icon. Don't forget to see it while you're in town!

A really nice garden to visit. The famous cherry and spoon is cool to see, and the rest of the contemporary garden is very pleasant. I haven't been there in a while, but for what I remember of it, I believe there are also flowers. I might be thinking of a different place, but I have great memories from there... More

Great artwork everywhere you look. Fun park for the eyes and the imagination. The spoon and the cherry are only a small part of what this park has to offer.

The sculpture garden is a small area near the Walker Art Center. They should be done in the same trip as the garden is only a 30 minute stop. Views of downtown are stunning from here and the Basilica is close.
