Great park by lake Harriet. The park is well maintained and the landscaping is done somewhat professionally. It’s very busy on summer warm days. People look and look and look and maybe they are just bored killing time. No reason to look at roses over 2-3 hours. Overall the park and location is great. The parking is not easy. There is a paid; parking lot next to the Garden, and many spots of free street parking which can be taken for hours. The main issue it’s that the road is one way and no parking spots near the Rose Garden. So you have to take parking spots few blocks way when you see these spots. Don’t wait to get closer because you can’t go back to these spots unless you want to take 30-60min drive to go all the way around the lake to locate these parking spots again.

Hard to beat the Lyndale Park Rose Garden just off the northeast shore of Lake Harriet in Minneapolis. It is the second oldest public rose garden in the United States, showcases 3,000 plants in 100 different varieties, and was designed by Park Superintendent Theodore Wirth. The Minneapolis Park & Recreation Board and Men’s & Women’s Garden Club of Minneapolis (MWGCM) work collaboratively to maintain and improve the 1.5 acres and adjacent Peace Garden, Perennial Garden, and Perennial Trial Garden. A terrific place to explore, relax, hammock, and take in the sights and smells of this Minneapolis classic. Check it out!

The Rose Gardens at Lake Harriet is such a remarkable place. Just imagine for a minute, that this place was opened 100 years ago. The second oldest Rose Garden in the nation. Fast forward, the earthy smells of fresh mulch and beautiful array of roses is enough to calm anyone. Take a stroll, take a walk, drive by or ride a bike through and you can’t help but to admire the careful grooming of the Minneapolis Parks and Recreation. Giving a shout out to the Minneapolis Teen Teamworks crew for helping and assisting with weeding, mulching and grooming on such a beautiful day!!!

Lovely and beautifully manicured gardens. The rose beds draws you in by their fragrent blooms. Perennial and annuals are a colorful display amid 2 fountains, a sundail and an old fashion bubbler. People are scattered along the pathways. Some sitting on the many benches drawing, or taking pictures where their eyes sees the beauty nature has to offer. Silence, and tranquilty awaits in the peace garden while sounds of birds singing fills the air. A picturesque stroll day or night with nature in all its splendour. Don't forget to stop and smell the roses.

FREE & BEAUTIFUL! Especially during this strange time with COVID-19, now is the best moment to get out in nature and get your daily movement in. This garden is so well-cared for and such a treasure in Minneapolis. As spring turns into summer and then into fall, this garden takes on a new look and vibe with each season. Try to visit it at each stage and you will enjoy the way the plants and overall scene change. Perfect space for a romantic stroll with your partner or a place where your kiddos can roam and be in awe of all the colors and wildlife they see!

I’ve been going here for years and I am always amazed how beautiful and well maintained the rose garden is. It try to get out here once every year and it’s always a wonderful experience. It’s next to Lake Harriet and I recommend walking the lake and the rose garden. There’s also a Japanese garden across the street which is also very fun to visit. Both of these gardens are great places to do photography and photo ops with family and friends. They do an amazing job every year displaying a huge collection of roses. Many of them small sooooo good!
