On weekends, families can stroll with children across 11 acres of open green lawns and circular tree-lined pathways, discovering famous works like 'Spoonbridge and Cherry' (a giant fountain sculpture), the giant blue rooster 'Hahn/Cock,' and various modern public art pieces full of childlike wonder and imagination. All pathways are 2-3 meters wide, paved with smooth asphalt and tiles, making them very easy for strollers. The pathways connect to the main building of the Walker Art Center, which has elevators, a clean and spacious accessible family restroom, and baby changing tables in the lobby. Nearby cafes offer hot drinks and snacks. The garden is open to the public year-round at no charge. ## Similar picks in Minneapolis - [Minneapolis Sculpture Garden & Walker Art Center: Winter Sculpture Stroll](https://grassyknees.com/minneapolis/activities/minneapolis-sculpture-garden-and-walker-art-center-winter-sculpture-st--listing-33356198cf342bbaffe8ce09) — Sculpture Garden open daily 6:00 AM–Midnight; Walker Art Center indoor galleries Wed–Sun… · Minneapolis Sculpture Garden & Walker Art Center · All ages · Free · checked Nov 4.
