This is a very beautiful open park. Lots of greenery, flowers, and landscaping. You can easily spend 1 hour here taking a casual stroll. Great place for a picnic. There are no benches though. Theres parking available. It is not enclosed or secluded. So you wont feel like you are on some nature hike.

Lots of unique plants and varieties of roses. Stop and smell them already! Also, great place to see monarchs, hummingbirds and cute frogs (just dont kiss em)!

Sometimes a great place to sit, relax and enjoy tulips, roses and crab apple blossoms.Unfortunately over the years a greater number of people come here to swing in their poorly supported hammocks, disturb the quiet with music and let their kids destroy the crab apple trees.

Its nice but its still a public city park so be aware of your surroundings, especially after dark.

Beautiful park with a variety of landscapes, great picture spot and spending time with your family kinda park

Worth it! So peaceful. Great place for a picnic with the family.

Many beautiful plants and fun trails!

The rose garden is a lovely place at any time of day. But its wonderful for a romantic evening stroll!

Great place to go and relax. Such a peaceful place. Even better when the flowers are in bloom.

Love the fall scene with all the wonderful plants

Love spending time here, its great to grab a towel and bike down here and lay out with a book on a nice day. Lots of space to spread out from other people, compared to by the lake where it gets more congested.

Absolutely beautiful!!!! I have never seen so many pretty flowers !!

I had a fantastic day. I got so many beautiful photos. This was a friends idea. I enjoyed this great destination be especially with my company, a horticulture expert!

The rose garden is magnificent, as is the Japanese Garden and the entire floral parade. Beautiful fountains and water features enhance this must see TC landmark. Cheap parking available, a porta potty, and drinking fountains aid the experience. Plus it is a ho, skip and jump away from Calhoun Lake. Just go!

Nice place . We got a nice view pictures.

This place had such a beautiful fountain where you can ask someone to marry you lol. Watching the sunset as it sets on all the flowers and everything that the garden has is such a beautiful scenery. Definitely reccomend taking your significant other or a friend for a nice nature walk.

The roses in the park I beautiful all kinds of other flowers

Super beautiful, well maintained, it’s less noisy and veryyyy beautiful

Its sad that the fountains arent running (anywhere) Im sure its a Covid thing but I dont understand why. I miss them.

Nice garden can’t wait for the flowers to blossom.

Beautiful spot near the lake

Beautiful roses in a tranquil setting.

Even with a little spring rain, still a beautiful place and worth the visit.

Its breathtakingly beautiful and peaceful!

Sooooo beautiful!

This place is so beautiful the parks dept has done an amazing job planting so many different types and colors of roses in the garden along with tons of other perennials. If you are walking around Lake Harriet do yourself a favor and spent 10-15 min walking through the rose gardens. You will be pleasantly surprised how many different flowers are packed in that park. :-)

An idyllic nature spot

Fun fountains, lovely rose, perennial, annual, and spring bulb gardens. Often has hummingbirds and butterflies.

So much to see

A hidden gem in uptown area. Great place to enjoy a picnic, though no restrooms. Just a block or so from lake Calhoun. Beautiful gardens and usually not crowded. Good place for a walk on a date.

Beautifully maintained, lovely gardens, half a block from the lake.

One of my favorite places to visit with my camera. Always something new. An oasis of beauty and life.

Soothing place for an evening stroll.

Its beautiful!

Beautiful rose gardens that seem to have rebounded from devastating attack by Japanese beetles a year ago. Lovely Japanese Garden across the street.

A veiw from a cross the lake great park in the city of Minneapolis Minnesota

I hadnt been to this garden for 20 years having had moved to NC. So I invited a woman friend of mine to go visit there and we had a really nice day.

Lovely roses and a wide collection of plants!

Stunning park in the middle of Minneapolis. Its hard to believe this beautiful place exists so close to downtown. Shhhhhhh. Maybe we should keep this destination a secret. ?

Beautiful place!

So many beautiful plants.

Beautiful, nice and quiet.

Beautiful landscape. Spring is the best time to go with all of the blooming flowers. Great place for photos!

A nice and joyful place

Had a beautiful atmosphere. Not threatening at all.

Even in late May this garden has a buzz. There are plenty of flower photo ops and some of the early blooming roses are beautiful. Parking is hit or miss, but the opportunity to explore was worth the hassle.

Beautiful Park by Lake Harriet with a rose garden, Asian rock/peace garden, and lots of perennials. The best free garden in Minneapolis!

Amazing garden

So Beautiful

Another beautiful park here in Minneapolis

Wonderfully peaceful setting

Excellent picnic spot. Monarchs everywhere, and the fountain is beautiful and restful.

Natures beauty is eternal

So pretty here for a walk after lunch or dinner!

Im a stickler for parks so this part is always one of my favorites to comment on. OK, Lyndale Park Gardens is the secret undercover name of the beautiful rose gardens area over by the lake off Kings Highway. Beautiful place to walk at twilight, or a dawn across the street is a nature walk along with an Asian inspired bridge over to a meticulously crafted rock and succulent garden. Go. Sit in the tent too.️#peaceful #zen #watergardens

Nice gardens. Great place to walk around. There are a few hidden gems. The gardens are beautiful and the flowers are so picturesque. There are some benches but they seem to be overrun with ants. It would be nice if there were some picnic tables to sit and eat at. If it starts to rain, you are in trouble because there is no shelter or covered patio, just in case. If the weather is good, I recommend taking a outside in the garden. I also wish there was more than just the one snack stand.

Great place

Pretty park with a lot of cool greenery and flowers.

A good place to walk around after dinner

Nice place to hang out and get a little nature. There is some interesting little garden experiments as well.

Nice park cool lake

Its a beautiful park great for taking pictures

Very peaceful, and fun to walk around with a camera too.

Saturday morning Tai Chi Chih. Excellent as usual.

Nice place

This is where my wife and I got married. We stood by the little waterfall area with the small pond waterfall deal.The place is beautiful with plenty of paths to walk around. Its not all paved so strollers beware.

Love the place

Lovely spot to stop and enjoy the colorful flowers and greenery.

Amazing Place in the middle of the city.

I was here for Prom pictures. This is a beautiful place for taking the pictures.

Beautiful and peaceful, bring proper shoes for walking tho :)

Shakespeare in the park is great, but so many airplanes flying over

Great lakeside park with lovely rose gardens meticulously maintained!

Absolutely lovely! After enjoying the flowers we walked the dog around the lake and enjoyed a concert at Lake Harriet band shell. A Mpls treasure. Family friendly.

Fun place to take pictures but downfall is it not wheel chair assembly

Beautiful fountains and gardens. If youve never seen the Japanese garden, I highly recommend it.Lake Harriet is more or less attached to this park (I didnt even realize they were separate), and that lake and its environs are maybe the most beautiful and calming in the whole city.

Peaceful. And the scent of the flowers divine.

Incredible what a city can do when it cares about beauty!

Great place to see a wide variety of plant life from roses to trees to butterflies. Great for a Sunday afternoon walk through the garden.

Decades of urban gardening at its best.

Nice place

Beautiful collection of gardens next to lake harriet

Spectacular, well-tended and diverse types of gardens right by beautiful Lake Harriet. This is one of my favorite places to walk in Minneapolis.

Even pretty on a grey afternoon.

Very nice

Beautiful flowers

Great location to enjoy a Saturday morning.

Beautifullly laid out & cared for gardens!

Totally loved the flowers and lake in the end

Beautiful gardens and open spaces. Great place to take the kids and grandparents on walks

Wonderful summer place to look at flowers, trees, and plants. peaceful and tranquil with walking paths and birds singing.

So pretty with great landscaping. There was a small parking lot and plenty of places to sit and enjoy the gardens and a nice day.

Go here to see roses bloom in the summer.

Wonderful place with wonderful fountains, flowers!!!

Relaxing

Beautiful place to relax.

Stop. Take a walk. Take a picture. Its a pretty place worth a visit.

Mpls police are the worst. No respect after the parking ticket ordeal. They should be embarrassed and ashamed. Disgusting force.

Beautiful

Best visited mid/late spring and the beginning weeks of summer
