A very picturesque place, the park is named for the large lake that lies in its southwest corner."

"This 51-acre nature preserve is filled with trails, boardwalks, and ponds. The park’s ecosystem is vast and varied – you’ll encounter plenty of birds, gopher turtles, raccoons, and other animals under the oak tree canopies.

"Tucked away in the heart of the city, the Sunken Gardens is a beautiful botanical paradise that offers a tranquil escape from the hustle and bustle of the city. The 100-year-old garden is St. Petersburg's oldest living museum and is home to more than 50,000 tropical plants and flowers, as well as some of the oldest tropical plants in the country. If you are wondering what to do in St. Petersburg with kids, this is an amazing place to visit."

"Visitors can expect meandering paths that wind through over 50,000 flowers and tropical plants, and past cascading waterfalls. Because of the fragility of the 100-year-old garden with many of the region’s oldest tropical plants, visitors are asked to stay on the paths, not climb garden structures, not touch plants, and not bother animals. Guests can participate in horticultural classes and demonstrations, or take a garden tour."

"The Sunken Gardens has been around for more than 100 years now, having been planted by an avid gardener and plumber in 1903."
