    A beautiful park filled with incredibly interesting art pieces. Admission is $7 and well worth it. The whole park will take about 15-20mins to walk around but many benches and tables to sit in and enjoy. There’s an area to park in front, around 15 or so spaces, and a short walk to the park. COVID-19 guidelines are well respected by both workers and guests. Would highly recommend to anyone for a pleasant afternoon stroll.

    This is a fantastic little sculpture garden in Austin! It is a little small though, as you won’t spend more than 25 minutes here. The grounds were beautiful though, and I got free military admission which I appreciated!

    On the outskirts of beautiful Zilker Park is this awesome sculpture, garden and museum. I can’t say enough about it. It is absolutely gorgeous. My grandson and I enjoy a grandma/grandson day out and this was a part of our happiness that day. If you get the chance to please go enjoy it for yourself! Happy holidays.

    This was such a great find! It’s tucked away right by zilker park but definitely worth the visit! There is parking for the location so no need to worry about parking far away then walking to this location. Unfortunately, due to the new restrictions the museum portion is currently closed to the public but the sculpture garden is still definitely worth the visit!

    Beautiful place! Attended with a private event. I got to enjoy fun sculptures and the little creek was so serine.

    Lovely little hidden gem in the shadow of downtown Austin! I had no idea it existed, nor the story behind the man behind the place. Excellent for meditation, reading, relaxing, escaping the chaos for a bit. The curator and docents are all kind, knowledgeable and wow approachable. I'll be back, frequently! ♡

    Great little outdoor art exhibit. The sculptures are incredible and beautifully placed in their individual Micro environment.

    It is super affordable and not overly crowded. The garden is loaded with sculptures from both Umlauf but also visiting artists have work there as well. Plus I got engaged there so what's not to love!

    Umlauf was a beautiful location to host our wedding. Each venue has its own peculiarities and pros and cons, so make sure you understand them before you book (the garden is open to the public during the day and going late at Umlauf is not an option, as amplified sound must be turned off at 10 PM per Austin city ordinance). You’d probably want to go with mostly preferred vendors, which is what we did. That being said, we had a wonderful experience at Umlauf. Office staff were great to work with (Amanda was always very helpful and responsive). We fit our wedding of about 50 people underneath the pagoda for dinner which was the perfect setting. The garden was pretty remarkable for our ceremony. And despite that ordinance, we were still able to host a great dance party for our guests. We highly recommend Umlauf.

    Beautiful and green. Best for Art lovers. Also the guide at the front desk was amazing!

    Peaceful sculpture garden. Works are generally biblical or based on Greek mythology. Admission is only $7 for adults. Stop by if you have half an hour to kill.

    To have a beautiful gem like this right in the center of town is one of those things that reminds me why I love living in Austin for over 30 years. It’s serene and contemplative, from the lush green trees to of course the art, the running water, and the gorgeous pond. I really love it here.

  • 4/5 Robert V. 10 months ago on Google
    There are some great sculptures to take a look at and the grounds are great to walk around, but ultimately I give this only a 4 star review because there's not too much to see and some of the pieces or themes are a bit too repetitive.

    Loved visiting this place. Lady who sold us tickets was very knowledgeable and helpful. Bella is also a contributing artist, and i fot her to sign my program for my mum! Hot dog! If I ever die, just drop off my dead body at this place and let me decompose among the lovely statues and greenery ! And visitors can take pictures of my decomposing body , so maybe hang a few air fresheners around my body. New car smell, please!! Hello museum lovers!! Enjoy! My wife and i on our 4 year anniversary sure did! Cheers dear!
