Editorial Review for Minneapolis Sculpture Garden – by Citysearch Editors
In Short
More than 40 pieces, both serious and whimsical, occupy 11 acres and are a must-see. The garden's most famous piece, "Spoonbridge and Cherry," has become one of Minneapolis' weirdest landmarks. Sandstone blocks sit amid the grass; giant iron sculptures cast shadows and a labyrinth invites visitors to walk among its walls of hedge and steel. People can truly experience the art--by walking inside it, touching it and getting up close--without those pesky museum guards.

Anually, each April and May, the sculpture garden is infested by a plethora of young beauties. Photographers, families, young women in elegant dresses, strapping boys decked out in their tuxes. Limos, flowers, blue skyings, and an ambiance one wont forget. That is the scene of the sculpture garden come prom time of every year. It has become one of the most popular destinations for prom pictures, and after visiting, you wont wonder why. For those young, and old, art appreciaters, or just those seeking a stroll, the Sculpture garden is the place to be.
Pros: beautiful & relaxing, free, great location
Cons: parking (sometimes), weather dependent

The Sculpture Gardens is one of my favorite places to go. At night it's interesting to see how everything looks different. Plus at night it's easier to find free parking on the street. What I like most about it is the playfulness-enjoy a ride on the swing, play tag between the colums, and more fun stuff.
Pros: absolutely free, fun
