Sunken Gardens

A short walk on a brick path, surrounded by lovely flowers, greenery, and a couple of water features. Well worth a stop. You can fairly easily maneuver a wheelchair or stroller through it.

These gardens are so gorgeous. There's a good parking lot, and street parking if you're big enough. The sidewalks are great, and they have bathrooms. The flowers are absolutely gorgeous.

I stopped in Lincoln for an overnight stay and got to visit this place. What a beautiful and lush garden! Everything was in full bloom, lots of birds and butterflies around, gold fish in the ponds, etc. I met some very nice local visitors. Free parking is available on the NW side of the garden.

Absolutely gorgeous gardens. Rated one of the top 300 in the US. It's a small garden but it is beautiful. Nice place to come read a book or just sit and relax.!

Absolutely gorgeous!! There are so many flower beds. Completely free, there are donation boxes around the park. The whole thing is taken care of by volunteers. There are sculptures and ponds with koi fish. It was one of my favorite places to visit. If you like flowers this is one place to definitely check out. Its so peaceful and everyone there is smiling because of the beauty of it all. I wish I lived closer I would be here everyday.

This is such a beautiful sanctuary! So many flowers and plants tolook at. I love the koi ponds and all the little corners with cute benches. This is the perfect place to take senior photos, engagement, etc. It is extremely well-maintained with friendly staff. The place was so calming and peaceful, I feel like I could have stayed there all day. Do not forget to sign the guest book near the big dome, under the big metal "brick directory" thing. Also, you do not have to park in the parking lot. You can park on the street as well, there are entrances all around.

Beautiful and peaceful gardens right in the city. Lots of beautiful trees and flowers as well as a couple of water Lily ponds with koi fish (fun for kids of all ages), and a waterfall. Pathways are easy to walk, wheelchair accessible. Volunteers were busy working diligently while visitors enjoyed the serene atmosphere. What a colorful getaway from the city for visitors and locals alike.

They did a really nice job revamping the garden on east side of 27th near the zoo. There are "Pardon our garden signs around because of a flower disease but it's still a beautiful place to visit.

If you are in Lincoln, don’t miss to visit here. Wonderful garden with lots of colors. Flowers are like the lights everywhere. We went on a summer day and it was amazing to be there. Very colorful garden . Took a great photo opportunity. They also have restrooms . Few parking place at the entrance. No need to buy any tickets. Watched some colorful fish in the middle is the garden . There is a small pool too.

Absolutely gorgeous place to visit. I went on a weekday, and it wasn't crowded. Butterflies and pollinators were still busy in October.

Very Impressive / blown away / peaceful /
Fresh and Colorful ... All when the Midwest is suffering from high heat and low rainfall.
The Attention to detail was amazing and the interesting history was an added bonus .

The hubs loves visiting the Sunken Gardens when in Lincoln. It's designed for one to enjoy nature and get lost in the moment.

The pavilion with the intricate iron work is mesmerizing. The phrase inside the pavilion will catch your attention as well. This simply is a reminder to always look up.

Such a beautiful place to visit with family. Kids love watching the koi fish swim. If you have a green thumb/plant parent it's a neat place to see all the beautiful flowers and plants. There was an area closed off for a wedding the day we visited, but we got to see a beautiful bride and groom.

Wow! A hidden gem in the city. Very impressed with all the plants, structures, and statues in a defined space. Very much a must see!

Had a wonderful visit at beautiful Sunken Gardens while in Lincoln,Ne
Many people enjoying the afternoon... strolling, picture taking, picnicking.
Parking is a little tight.

Flowers change yearly. My kids love the koi ponds and watching the fish. Great water features. Love this place

Really nice spot, the gardens and waterfall were a nice oasis. Could use a sound barrier for the road to make it even better!

Every year is a new explosion of foliage planted and tended to lovingly by volunteers. Stroll leisurely along the waterfall, ponds, and breathe in the beauty

The detail of the garden was spectacular, the volunteers went above and beyond.

Wow is all I can say! Definitely worth visiting in Lincoln NE. The colors of the flowers were awesome, the water fall and the koi pond very soothing.
