World class.
The collection is exquisite and the landscaping is unrivaled.
Seeing as it is free and located in City Park, my recommendation is to go early and enjoy it then catch the museum, or botanical gardens, or have beignets that Cafe du Monde and then return again to the garden to catch it with different light.

Loved this! Highly recommend for the beautiful sculptor and a nice walk in nature. There's a pond throughout the garden and lots of benches to sit and even the surrounding area if you enter from the city park is nice walk to get to the garden if you have time! Will definitely come again especially in a day the museum is art is open as it's closed in Monday. Also the entrance to the garden is free / whatever you want donations
Spectacular sculpture garden! Although I didn’t get a chance to check out the art museum, we stopped here for a short stroll not really expecting much. Beautifully maintained area and such a variety of sculptures.
I honestly can't believe this is free. The gardens are amazing! You could easily spend over 2 hours here walking and looking at all of the sculptures. Definitely a must visit if you are in town!
Entry is now included as part of Museum of Art. Thoroughly enjoyed this more than the museum! Beautiful manicured gardens and tastefully laid out and designed. Recommend going early morning or later in afternoon as it was very hot in the recent heat.
Very well maintained beautiful sculpture garden in city park . It’s free to enter. You can spend as long as you want ! Min time required will be about:45mins -1 hour. It’s open air. So, recommend going in when it’s cooler so you can spend more time admiring the sculptures.
We went on the weekend and it wasn’t very busy. There’s a very interesting colorful bridge.
Catch a watermelon cooler at the stall where you enter! :)

Visited this gem in 2021 while exploring New Orleans. It is a part of the New Orleans Museum of Art. At that time, we had to pay $5 per person to enter, but now it's free. The 12-acre sculpture garden is a masterpiece with 90+ magnificent sculptures and landscapes, set amidst hundreds of trees, 200-year-old live oaks, palmettos, and shrubs. The garden also offers an outdoor amphitheater, stage, reflecting lagoon, pedestrian bridges and walkways, and a new gallery.
Highly recommend to visit. This is a unique opportunity for visitors who treasure the arts.
