I have traveled to this location several times over the years. Each visit results in countless photography opportunities! This location is always very clean, well maintained, and acts a very peaceful place. The park isnt very big but offers various sights to see including small waterfalls, unique walk paths, ponds with fish, and insects. I would recommend taking the trip to view this location when given the opportunity!

Sunken Garden is the most beautiful garden that I have ever seen before! The design of the area is amazing! My wife and I were taking back by the beauty of all the gorgeous flowers, grasses, flowering trees, and the other displays they have! What a extremely beautiful backdrop for your picture taking needs. Its open to the public. And donations are welcomed as you enter. Well worth it! Big Red kudos to the City of Lincoln for having a great and wonderful garden for their community!!

Sunken Gardens is a great place to stop by for a variety of reasons. Recently Ive been finding myself going there on my daily bike rides, and its a nice spot to take a break and reflect. Visiting helps me clear my mind and think through things, and the flowers change through the year! The coy fish are beautiful as are the many butterflies/dragonflies that visit. One of my favorite places in Lincoln to be at.

Its got loads of flowers and plants. Really enjoyed the art in the garden

What she said —>My daughter brought me here; now I bring my granddaughter here. She loves the koi fish best! Butterflies, 2nd, and third of all, flowers and sculptures, including Rebekah at the Well, our favorite!

Very relaxing place..very nice place for a picnic..even my hubby liked it...

A medium to small sized garden full of multi colored flowers. Pond had beautiful colored fish. A must see.

Full of Beautiful flowers!!! The bunny, Koi fish and butterflies were a bonus!!! Hope you enjoy my photography!!!

Free admission. Always beautiful in the summer. So many different varieties of butterflies and dragonflies. We love going and looking at all the variety of flowers. Great place for family pictures, weddings, senior photos. If you go on the weekend, dont be surprised if you run into a wedding party. Definitely my favorite garden in Lincoln.

A whonderfull place, it has a vibe to it that nowhere else does, like a haunted location but filled with a calm that almost feels like a light smile asking you to take it in. If ever you have 30 minutes, Id recommend wholeheartedly that you give it a look. It looks great pretty much all year round, though its at its best from spring through fall.

Theres really lots of different kinds of plants to look at it was my childrens first time going there and we all had a blast not to mention all the family pictures I got which of course was my favorite part

My parents brought my brothers, sisters and I here when I was a kid. I have made many trips here with my kids when they were little. Now I bring my grand children here. Sunken Gardens is my happy place. Its where I can get away to some place beautiful and calm without going far. Its where I can find some peace. Its a place that feeds my soul.

Absolutely beautiful, and peaceful, too. Everything in bloom! Lily ponds are lovely.

This place is so beautiful. I loved it

Calming place. Full of flowers and colors. Loved it. Took food with us to eat at the bench. Best to spend a couple of hours for a stroll

Really lovely place, a must see and take a few photos while your there

So beautiful, it always fun to see what they do each year.

When I am in Lincoln, a treat is visiting the Sunken Gardens. This out side garden is different every year with interesting plantings, spectacularly arranged. This free attraction never fails to impress.

This place is so beautiful during blooming time with lots of varieties. there are fish ponds, mini waterfalls, gazebos, plenty of paths and lots of different flowers to look at. one of my favorite places in Lincoln!

Even in the 96 degree weather today, I can tell you that it is one of the most beautiful places in Lincoln. The flowers are growing now...but a month from now? Breath taking.

Beautiful garden. I am glad i had to experience the beauty of it.

Very beautiful! Definitely worth a visit. The water was a bit gross though.

It has a small parking, but always have spaces for us to park. Restrooms were closed the few times that we have been there. The place is nice. Lots of flowers and plants. Its a good place to stroll around for a few hours.

Absolutely breath taking!! So, beautiful!! Peaceful quite walk to enjoy and see

This is a beautiful garden right next to a busy road. It’s pretty and well tended, but small and not peaceful due to the traffic noise. Still worth visiting though. Parking is free and there is no admission fee.

Very beautiful. Really peaceful cant wait to come back k and visit.

A great garden to get some beautiful pictures in! It is well maintained and taken care of. Its a perfect stop to take a date to! There are small grass areas all around to set up a blanket and have a picnic on!

Looking the best Ive seen in a few years. Very clean. Multiple pathways. Wont take a long time (30 minutes) for you to explore, admire, & enjoy. Outdoors in the Nebraska wind is a safe bet in these virus times.

Quiet, colorful garden. Not very big. Good place to sit and be at peace.

I love to visit The Sunken Gardens when it is in full bloom. It is such a beautiful flower garden with fountains stocked with fish. I even got married here right by the little waterfall.

A very beautiful place to be for all the possible reasons. Whether youre happy and just want to walk in the middle of roses or unhappy and need a place to clear your mind and get fresh air

The bathrooms are closed . Everything is in bloom and the grounds crew has been doing a great job! Thank you for putting in the work to keep this going . This is a true gem.

Really beautiful and different from year to year. The colors are outstanding. Good variety of annuals. I love the domed gazebo and the fish ponds.

A great stop to add to any visit to Lincoln. The gardens are lovely, but they are small.

What an amazing public park! This is an expansive public space with lush gardens, statuary and water features. I can’t believe it’s free to get in. Parking is very limited so you may have to do off street parking. Continue across the street to stroll through the rose garden and see the fountain. The day I was there a vendor was open selling drinks and snacks.

So beautiful. Breath taking. So clean. Need to see it in full bloom. One of the prettiest places to visit in Lincoln Nebraska

Nice, clean, comfortable place to stroll around & see beautiful plants, & flowers. Theres a couple statues worth viewing, & a couple Koi ponds. Its small, but the free price of admission suits it well.

Beautiful flower park - not too extensive but has trails, fish ponds, a little waterfall, and beautiful flowers

How have never been here before?!?! Such a pretty little place in the middle of Lincoln!! I highly recommended taking a trip to visit. Its free but they take donations. There looks to have been donation boxes but they have been removed from the premises. I went about noon and it was quite busy but thats to be expected for a nice Saturday. There were also two different wedding parties taking pictures.

The gardens are a beautiful hidden gem of Lincoln.

This time of year the Garden is in its full color glory! We love walking through on our way to the zoo.

Nice spot for a walk or picnic. Spend a lot of time here during the summer. Best time to come is the later half of summer when everything is big and in full bloom. Great spot for family pictures.

Such a Beautiful place just to sit and enjoys god work at hand

Beautiful, fun walk. Even for the kiddos! Great place to find a shady spot to read or draw. The Koi ponds were a hit for the children and adults alike!

If your in Lincoln you must stop and walk around this truly one of a kind places. Every year they change out the colors and plants. BEAUTIFUL does not come close to describing this place. A MUST SEE!

Absolutely beautiful! would make this a regular road trip stop

Sunken gardens what more can you say.

Very nice! I was pleasantly surprised that they allow dogs too! (Just as long as you pick up after them)

A beautiful and peaceful place to visit!

The gardens offer a spectacular arrangement of flowers and a variety of plants. The pathways through the gardens are maintained and offer easy access to walk through the gardens.

Unfortunately the gardens are already being dug up for the winter. Oh well, this had been an excellent selection of plants this year

We love getting to stop in here and enjoy this hidden gem of a park. We try to visit in different seasons to see the changes in the park as Spring gives way to Summer to Fall. A great little stop to enjoy some time outside.

Small but beautiful gardens! They carry some amazing varieties of plants. The varieties of Hostas were impressive. If you’re stopping by, take an extra 30 minutes out for this nice little oasis.

Beautiful gardens, I recommend coming when school is in session though in order to ensure you’ll have some peace and quiet. It is next to a fairly busy road however.

ALWAYS A MUST SEE, Been to this Place a few times and its Always clean and Beautiful, and FREE.

Lincoln Parks & Rec does an excellent job on the upkeep and arrangement of the plants/flowers here. Parking is available to experience this wonderful walk thru paradise!

So Romantic Peaceful Clean and well kept ; its one of my favorite places to reflect upon !

The most beautiful garden Ive seen In the city.So many memories being made here it was a little overwhelming. Every time we have been there something special has happened to someone around us.

If you love nature and photography this is for all of you.

Very beautiful and peaceful. Only thing I didnt like is the sitting is not in a good place to really see anything.

Beautiful flowers. A lot of people made it a pretty fun place.

I just love the flowers and fish here!

The Sunken Gardens are absolutely gorgeous, and a great way to get some socially distanced outdoor time!

This place is an amazing garden every year they do a great job planting hundreds of flowers. They keep it clean and its just a wonder place to have pictures done or weddings. .

Got married here, super pretty! Was perfect ♡

So beautiful! I got married there in 2012! Great walk down memory lane! My daughter loves the Koi fish!

Nice and cozy park during any season.

Great place to take out of town guests. Especially nice right now when getting out of the house is a must.

Very gorgeous! I got a lot of amazing pictures. The only problem was that the bathrooms were closed except for events.

It was fun and watching the koi was amazing. But the traffic was really loud

Former city dumping grounds are now and for some time now, beautiful yearly- planted and maintained series of gardens and coi ponds. Familiar yet never the same year to year. A must see in Lincoln, NE.

I went here with my son from out of town to check this place on on Saturday evening shortly after 7 pm the sun is out, still people all around. My car got broken into and my purse gone. Of course no one seen nothing. My 13 year is scared to death to go any where now. And I have to say it might be to peaceful there and but they need security watching that place while the park is open. I will never return, due to not feeling safe. Its sad you go to enjoy yourself and you loose everythingyou own in less than 20 min. They have cameras but they need someone watching them at all times

Gorgeous area to walk and see lovely flowers in an urban area.

Even in the late fall it is such a pretty place to visit!

Gorgeous gardens. A bit smaller than expected

Very charming and well taken care of. We visited after the tulips full bloom but still very pretty. Its not like a wow, we have to make it a point to go there place, but its cute if you have 30 minutes to spare.

I like this Sunken Gardens because is a great way to spending time be able to think about anything here and a have more pictures my next visit here again.

Gorgeous. Take a stroll to the other gardens across the street. Also right by the childrens zoo.

Beautiful flowers all summer long two koi ponds. Great for the entire family, normally has bathrooms in the summer, currently closed for Covid

Alot of beautiful flowers and a fun place to enjoy, especially during covid when there is not as many places to stretch out your legs. Enjoyed the different pathways and large variation of flowers.

The garden was beautiful with an awesome smell of sweet flowers a nd arranged in a very pleasing manner.

Visit it and youll know why its great. Experience it for yourself!

Very peaceful and quiet area. The donation box is temporarily unavailable due to theft and vandalism. The tv monitor showing info was also smashed unfortunately. Koi fish in the pond. Its a little cold now but must be nice in the summer! Free admissions.

Beautiful spot to check out. From out of town and needed to kill some time. The gardens arent huge, but they are well kept and have plenty of green and water features.

So so pretty. Such a gem in a cute small town

Very pretty. There are plenty of walking paths around the gardens. Some shady spots. Seating is avaliable through out the garden and its dog friendly(as long as theyre on a leash).

Beautiful place to visit. Love it! ️

Amazing outdoor garden simply hidden in the center of Lincoln!

Very interesting. A good place if your photographer.

Artistic arrangements of plants thriving in the heat and humidity. Wheelchair accessible, kid friendly. We saw a toddler painting alongside his mum at one of the koi/lily ponds, a tiny girl feeding the fish, a wedding about to happen, and too much beauty to absorb in one visit. Historical documentation and stories posted. Nice traveling stop.

Im always amazed at how big the elephant ears get!

Obly one word needed. Stunning.

Beautiful, free and great to visit.

This garden is a gem in the middle of the City of Lincoln and discovering on a bike ride is a great way to find calm and beauty in Lincoln NE. Its a great place for senior photos, wedding photos, and informal photos with friends. It is a fun place to visit after a trip to the zoo. Everyone at the park is usually respectful and keep to themselves. It is a peaceful, nice, quiet place. I think that everyone in the area should visit this park.

Beautiful gardens and we loved the little pond, definitely worth a visit.

Pretty gardens and well kept but very close to road with a lot of loud cars driving by makes it a less than peaceful place.

I have loved Sunken Gardens since I was a little girl. Beautiful flowers and open to all. Photos were taken in early June.

Lovely place to take a stroll. Enjoy the pretty flowers and the water features!

It is Aug. 23rd and the Sunken Gardens are fabulous...so beautiful...go now!

Fabulously beautiful today
