Mennello Museum Thanksgiving Weekend Family Sculpture Garden Stroll

About this adventure

Tucked along the peaceful northern shores of Lake Formosa in Loch Haven Cultural Park, the Mennello Museum grounds offer a serene Thanksgiving weekend art retreat for families. The lakeside Marilyn L. Mennello Sculpture Garden features expansive paved and grassy trails winding beneath 'The Mayor,' a majestic 350-year-old live oak tree draped in Spanish moss. Families can stroll among monumental outdoor sculptures by renowned American artists, and children can pick up free 'Art-in-the-Garden' self-guided sketching kits and nature scavenger hunts at the museum desk. The gentle lakeside paths connect directly to the paved Orlando Urban Trail, providing easy, scenic walking for families with strollers and bicycles. Shaded picnic lawns and indoor museum facilities with changing stations ensure a peaceful holiday outing.
