Definitely worth a visit if you appreciate emotive sculptures. It happened to be free the day I went for Family Day so check their events calendar. There was also a small but worthwhile indoor exhibit. I appreciated their audio guide which provides more meaning behind some of the pieces and enhanced my experience.

We loved visiting the garden. It was hot outside, but there is plenty of shade surrounding the garden. There is a nice waterfall to sit near. Great information on each sculpture.

I had my wedding at Umlauf Sculpture Garden on May 3, 2025. I cannot think of a more magical location for a venue. The whole day felt like a fairy tale because of the lush greenery, babbling brooks, and elegant sculptures. Pros: They let me visit as many times as I wanted They answered no fewer than 200 of my emails The coordinators were so sweet and easy to work with The venue is gorgeous. Some quick notes: The event rental is only from 4 PM - Midnight, including load in and load out and the amplified sound has to be off my 10. This means extra charges for delivery timing, usually only about an hour and a half of dancing, and other specialized coordination. If you use their preferred vendors, then they can let them come in at 3:30. However, there was a lot of confusion on my wedding day and it set us 30 minutes behind the whole night, which is huge. Working with this venue can be a bit of an undertaking which I underestimated, so just something to note! That all being said, I do not regret my decision to have my wedding here! It was a lovely night.

Very affordable ticket prices! Parking can be rather difficult, but the garden is surprisingly spacious and nice to walk around. I went to the Lunar New Year event they had during closing hours, which does cost more than usual to attend, but the special effects on the dragon dance was pretty cool.
