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.

Winding paths, cascading waterfalls, and hidden groves create a serene environment in which to explore and learn about exotic and tropical plants from around the world, and the picturesque scenery make the gardens a lovely venue for special events such as weddings and private functions.

The Sunken Gardens also present visitors with guided garden tours and special horticultural programs throughout the year.
