Dive Into Florida’s Sunken Gardens

Roadside attractions are peculiar places of entrepreneurial ambition and dreams that have driven tourists to pockets of a unique Americana culture since the 1900s. In St. Pete, Florida, the Sunken Gardens is one such attraction – an unnatural creation celebrating the wonder of nature. Within its four acres guests can enjoy small waterfalls, countless species of flora, meandering paths, pretty-in-pink flamingos, and towering walls of magenta bougainvillea - all of it “sunken” below sea level.
