Sunken Gardens (Florida)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Sunken Gardens are 4 acres (1.6 hectares) of well-established botanical gardens, located in the Historic Old Northeast neighborhood of St. Petersburg, Florida, at 1825 4th Street North. The Gardens have existed for more than a century, and are one of the oldest roadside tourist attractions in the United States. The Gardens are now operated by the City of St. Petersburg, FL and maintained with the help of volunteers. Sunken Gardens are open to the public every day of the week. An admission fee is charged for entrance into the gardens and a yearly membership is also available.
Sunken Gardens retains their historical interest as an important example of a 1930s Florida roadside commercial attraction, and is probably the oldest commercial tourist attraction on Florida's west coast. The Gardens are open to the public for educational programs, tours, and special events, particularly weddings which have taken place for decades on the Wedding Lawn,[1] and in the banquet facilities in the Garden Room overlooking the unique garden setting.

Tropical Botanical Gardens in Florida Called Sunken Gardens, St Petersburg, FL
Published on Dec 7, 2013
The Sunken Gardens in St Petersburg, Florida is a beautiful tropical place to visit while in the area of Tampa, Clearwater, Sarasota, and St Petersburg. It feels like a large tropical rain forest and has flamingos, parrots, turtles, waterfalls, coy ponds, and lots of palm trees and tropical flowers. This place would be amazing for a small wedding; in fact we saw chairs set up for a wedding on a small pavilion in the middle of the whole place. The place is so big that I think we did a quarter mile lap on their walkways. The coolest part was how cheap it was to get in, something like only ten bucks.

Sunken Gardens is a beautiful garden oasis in the middle of downtown St. Petersburg, Florida. It hides behind walls and doesn't look like much from the outside, but wow, once you walk into the garden walls you are surrounded by incredible beauty!
Sunken Gardens is home to many (over 50,000) enchanting plants and animals. Some of the trees in this garden are the largest and oldest in the area due to being protected for so long. Sunken Gardens was created by George Turner in 1903.
Sunken Gardens now has 22 chilean flamingos, a cactus garden, a Japanese garden, a butterfly garden, a wedding lawn, and some of the most beautiful walkways in the St. Petersburg area.
