Sunken Gardens
Dating from 1935, this former tourist attraction is now operated as a 7-acre botanical garden by the city of St. Petersburg. It contains an array of 5,000 plants—some of the oldest in the region, flowers, and trees; there are also a butterfly garden, cascading waterfalls, demo gardens, a flock of flamingos, and a colorful array of rehomed tropical birds including macaws and cockatoos. The place is pretty peaceful, which is why they conduct Hatha yoga classes here every Monday and Wednesday.
