Sunken Gardens has enchanted visitors since 1903 with four acres of tropical splendor nestled within St. Petersburg. Meandering brick paths wind past waterfalls, rainbow eucalyptus trees, and vibrant flocks of Chilean flamingos. The accessible layout features shaded benches, level walkways, and convenient rest areas, making it friendly for all ages and abilities.
Arrive early for cooler temperatures and calmer crowds. Look for visitor-center coupons to save on admission, and pop into the charming gift shop for local souvenirs. Couples often choose the lush wedding lawn for ceremonies, while plant lovers linger over mature palms, giant koi, and the resident alligator snapping turtle. Whether you have an hour or an entire afternoon, Sunken Gardens offers a refreshing retreat from city bustle and a vivid showcase of Florida’s botanical heritage.
