“Neat”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed December 17, 2012

My boyfriend and I went here after dinner the first night of our stay in STL because it was open late and on the walk back to the hotel.

It was very cool to do at night because a lot of the sculptures and trees had lights on them (it was Christmas time as well, so I'm not sure if they have that year round).

It didn't take very long to walk through. We probably spent about 20-25 minutes walking through it and taking pictures.

“The Best Place in St. Louis”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed December 12, 2012

What a wonderful place to come and see beautiful sculpture and fantastic water features. It is well maintained, the people are friendly, it is clean, the plantings are excellent. It is always free and anyone can play on and touch any of the sculptures. That is a park policy. It can be very crowded on a hot summer day but that just mans many people are having a free good time. There really is almost no place like this in the rest of the country. I have visited Citygarden many times and loved it each time.

“Pretty - but not visitor friendly”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed December 11, 2012

Went there to take family pictures and the security is insane. They wouldn't let you near any of the sculptures. I don't think that it's particularly prudent to put things outside in a park you don't want kids playing on or people touching. Plus, the security guard was a total jerk too. He wasn't polite, and practically accused us of attempting to destroy private property because we stood next to a statue. They need a new security firm, and if there's a problem with touching the artwork, put in displays you expect to take out in a year, so it can be something fun for families to do.

One of Downtown's newest attraction. it's great to go at night or in the day. the waterworks are a delight to see at night with all the different colors. Great place for the family, pets or a date.

Nice little park tucked into the middle of the city. I love the water fountains/attraction that the kids can plan in and run around in! We went at dusk one time and it was great becuas it also has some very cool light that come on. Its also FREE which is always great!
