From the reviews
Gorgeous park! We enjoyed our time here. I loved seeing the yoga classes and photo sessions for weddings and other celebrations. It is clear this park is a wonderful asset to the city. The energy in this space is magical! Absolutely worth a visit, followed by a walk around the adjacent lake.
A favorite place of mine and my loved ones. Lots of fun events, friends host yoga, great place to eat.
Getting married at Lyndale Park Rose Garden
Lyndale Park Rose Garden comes up for weddings — confirmed on their own site. Two things make the tour worth it. First, see the garden at the time of day and season you'd actually get married — a garden that glows at golden hour in June can look very different at noon in March, so ask what's in bloom for your date and walk the path your guests take from parking to ceremony to reception. Second, bring your real questions: the rain plan (where does the ceremony move, and does it hold everyone?), shade and bugs for a summer afternoon, the catering and bar policy, the music curfew, and exactly what's included — tables, chairs, setup, and teardown are where quotes quietly diverge. Popular garden dates book 12–18 months out, so if the tour feels right, ask what's open in your season before you leave.
