Beautiful place. Was there for family pictures and it was very hot. Therefore, we just found shady places for pictures to get out if the heat. What we did see was awesome. Want to go back on a cooler day and walk through the entire garden.

Super nice. Volunteer maintained & sustained by donations. It is a must see free destination for anyone visiting LaCrosse. I wish I had taken better photos.

Beautiful place for events or just to take pictures. Take some bug spray with though for sure. On the other side of the bridge there is a trail you can take to get to the beach, super pretty.

Found it totally by chance walking from the Lacrosse Queen boat launch. The entrance caught my eye and went in to see what it was all about. Truly a great find! Very relaxing stroll among national theme garden beds planted with flowers, scrubs and water attractions. Had my 2 year old granddaughter and she loved the goldfish pool! Great idea and location! Not for profit means I hope people find it and appreciate it!

They should leave the Indian Statue its art and its been there forever. Who cares what the other Indians say. Its just ART!!!! Its not supposed to depict anything besides Indians were here first. People need to stop over thinking stuff! And worry more about not getting covid!

What a wonderful idea. Love the distinct flavor of each sister city culture. My children loved it as well! They didnt even realize they were being taught, but asked questions and learned valuable information about cultures around the world. Very well done!!

This was a nice way to kill some time during a lazy afternoon. Its a small garden with a lot to take in. KID FRIENDLY. probably can spend as little as 10 mins to an hour depending on how much you want to take in all the beautiful plants, trees and statues.

Beautiful area, and the rest of the park around it was great! Fair grounds nearby had a concert going on, so we got to hear good music while visiting. Unique garden area, river, steamboats, giant statues, a cannon, lots of birds and ducks, all very well maintained. A nice place to spend an afternoon.

If you find yourself in La Crosse during the spring/summer months you HAVE to take a walk through these gardens. My husband and I just happened to see a blurb online about them while in town. I am so glad we were able to walk through them. Just stunning!

This is a very cool place to walk around in. They have themed gardens, like gardens from France, Ireland, Norway, and many more. Connects to a walking trail, so a great place to start a walk.
