The Minneapolis Sculpture Garden is one-of-a-kind and will easily hold the interest of children and adults alike. This is a wonderful spot for photo taking, too. Plan on staying about an hour to an hour and a half. And, it is free!

The Minneapolis Sculpture Garden is breathtakingly beautiful. The landscaping is delightful and the sculptures are highly artistic and thought provoking. It's open all year and free, although I prefer to go when the weather is decent. The Cherry in the Spoon is definitely the most popular sculpture (every NFL Monday night football game in Minneapolis will pan to it), but... More

I was surprised that are not more sculptures. The cherry and the spoon is iconic but at one time there were twice as many sculptures as there are now.

It is a 10 min museum-park. It is cool that it is also a park but there are only a few scultures to look at. I would go only if I had the time to spare, I think there are better museums to watch before. Its free!

I liked the garden but it could use more sculptures. The idea of a sculpture garden is good but not inviting

No where have I seen such a beautiful display of outdoor sculpture that has the breadth of styles, presentation, themes and fun all for free! Wander at will among towering feats of physics delicately balanced and evocative structures that give a reason to pause and contemplate art, life, nature and mankind. All this waits for the observant at the Minneapolis... More

This is an awesome sculpture park with a lot of good photo opportunities. Me and my family enjoyed walking around checking out the sculptures. It was cold and snowing for us so we didn't get to enjoy it fully, but I'm sure in warm weather it is magnificent. This would be a great place to let the kids run around... More

Easy access from Loring Park across a pedestrian bridge that is also one of the sculptures. Fun afternoon.

The only sculpture I really enjoy there is Spoonbridge and Cherry, but that's awesome enough to warrant a trip. It's the most impressive sculpture I've every seen, and I've visited most of the major gardens in the major European capitals.

One fatastic thing about the sculpture garden is that no matter what time of year it is, you can still have fun. If you dress warm, then go during the snowfall. It is beautiful! Afterward you can walk to restraunts in the Loring Park area for some nice hot cocoa or else take the bus to Uptown to relax for... More
