The sculpture garden is nice. It's free, has a great view of downtown and is fun to walk around and look at the sculptures. It's fun to take a picnic and just hang out in the grass. more

After researching online on what things to do in MN I really wanted to see the sculpture garden. There are many outside objects to look at when visiting this park. There's something about the cherry & spoon that says MN. Probably because Ive seen it on many magazine covers and articles. Just before our visit they had taken the cherry... more

When we visited Minneapolis in June, my wife was surprised by how cool it was, cool enough that she needed to wear a sweater. The temperature wasn't the only surprise for 2 Southerners headed to the Twin Cities--we were pleasantly surprised by the many beautiful spots in and around the Twin Cities. We went to the Sculpture Garden with my... more

I enjoyed my time in the Minneapolis Sculpture Garden. I am not sure if I was just lucky to be there during the first Saturday of the month, but there was no charge. I walked around the garden, admiring a number of sculptures. As other people have mentioned, the Spoonbridge sculpture is definitely the highlight. Although, as a word of... more

...highlighted by Oldenburg's iconic "Spoonbridge and Cherry". The cherry looks luscious enough to eat and it is certainly a more lively and fun piece than his Chicago "Batcolumn." Nice conservatory and other sculpture too, as well as lovely landscaping. Probably a must for a Minneapolis visitor. more

This was a nice little city park to walk around in. It had a couple sculptures in it and a nice garden path to walk down. I didn't see the conservatory. I missed that somehow. It wasn't very big though and was good for a couple minutes to just relax. more

We were visiting Minneapolis in mid-April and enjoyed our stop at the Sculpture Garden! We'd like to go back later in the spring or summer when things start to 'green-up' a bit more (as well as warm up a bit more!). The conservatory was well worth a walk-through, too. more

This sculpture garden rivals any I've seen in the world. From classic sculpture to stark modern pieces to fun and pretty things, the collection has just about everything an art lover would want to see. The central piece is Oldenburg's "Spoonbridge and Cherry" which has become a symbol of the city. It's free from 6:00 am to midnight, cruise around... more

The Sculpture Garden is a must see if in MN. If you have the chance to take a guided tour do so and then go back and look at any of the artwork that you didn't get to see on the guided tour. Make sure to take your camera with you and get a map that tells you about each... more
