Such a WONDERFUL holiday lights display! A real treat to go through for all ages! Not a bad drive from the Twin Cities, either. There are even real reindeer on display. 🦌 So nice!! I highly recommend... Be sure to go through twice and cue your radio to 90.1 fm! 😉🎄✨

Never been there during daytime. But Kiwanis light show is amazing and that made us feel the park should be pretty awesome too with all the tall trees throughout! Loved the little barn they had and the animals we can see in there. We saw reindeer! We loved parking the car in the middle of the park and enjoying the trees and lights for a while having some food. Great for families, friends or even for dates. The Kiwanis Christmas lights are free so that makes it all the more value to drive all the way there and to enjoy!

I wish more towns and cities had a Sibley Park! There are walking trails, a pond, farm animals, a calming garden, gazebos, memorials, a great sunset view over the river, and within the same walk you can pet a sheep, take the kids to the playground, and play Punk Rock Softball. It's also the best place in town for playing Pokemon Go.

The Kiwanis Lights have kicked off again this year!! A truly special Christmas treat! The community really pulls together - awesome to see!

Fun little zoo especially for younger children. A beautiful garden in the center with a bridge and fish top the experience off. Fun play structures and "sit ons" for kids.

Sibley is a gem! Tons of room for picnics, gathering and lounging. It has walking trails, ample parking, playground equipment, gazebos, animals, restrooms, gardens, Pokéstops, and more! Bring quarters to buy pellets to feed the animals!

We took my little granddaughter to Sibley park to see the amimals for her 1st time! A lot of fun but we had to cut it short because of the heat this 4th of July.

This quaint, hidden away park on the west side of Mankato has a lot to see & do. It has a Children’s play & recreational area, next to a mini Zoo - where we’ve taken my nieces & nephews when they were younger. They also have a Gazebo & garden’s area - where one of my cousins got married. And down by the river, I took these wildlife pictures. Along, with the covered picnic area - where we’ve started our 6 mile Diabetes Walks through downtown Mankato….

We visited the park for the lights this weekend. We were all amazed! The lights were gorgeous! So many lights! A great place to bring the kids. We chose to walk as the drive through line was ridiculously long. The only downside was the lack of concessions. 1 concession building that was so packed we skipped it. A must visit if you love Christmas lights!!

Rented a shelter space to hold my friends baby shower, and it was beautiful! Great place for photos and friends to gather. Plenty of stuff to do for the kids, and lots of open space. Had a blast today!

This is by far one of my favorite parks in the area. Today we attended a wedding down in the main area and explored the upper paths. A gorgeous day at a gorgeous park.

Holds the Kiwanis Lights every Christmas. Definitely worth stopping to walk through or at the least drive through. Has a great play area for the kids, animals for the kids to see, and close to the river. Has bathrooms available with flush toilets. Lots of room for events or to play a soccer game. Check it out anytime of the year!

This is an excellent and entertaining park for kids Barn styled play equipment area, mini size zoo, which has 2 alpacas, 2 donkeys, cows, sheep, peafowls, turkeys, pheasants and pond full of koi fish. There is space allocated for exercise with equipment built for 12+ users Plenty of picnic space and grass to play ball games

Fun farm themed playground and short paved loop trail visiting donkeys, goats, lambs, cow, and peacocks among other farm animals in pens. Feed koi in the pond for $0.25. Worth the drive from the Twin Cities on Mother's Day and stopped at the Candy Store in Jordan (opened for the season last Friday) too! Toddler was thrilled about the play equipment and animals :).

The Kiwanis lights at Sibley Park never disappoint! It's fun to go in the middle of the week with no wait time, you can drive through multiple times, it's just so magical! Well worth it to get out of the car to take a picture with the big tree in the middle, then you can also grab some mini donuts and hot chocolate for the rest of the drive around the park.

Nice playground, barn type animals to feed, pavilions, walking path. Well cared for. No food or drink around the animals, hand washing areas. Also exercise equipment. No pets allowed.

This is an amazing little gem of a park that is concealed within city limits and likely unknown by many of the locals even Im sure. Come here for your fix for wildlife, your hiking trails, your kids to burn off steam, or maybe to get hitched to the gal or guy in your life! Its been here since 1887 and the views are splendid. So if you visit Mankto make a day of Sibley Park. You will thank me after you come here and Im willing to bet that you too will want to come back again to explore even more....

We love the petting zoo, especially the goats! They were super cute! The playground is pretty fun, but the animals top the visit!

Took an early morning walk. Very peaceful & the flowers were in full bloom, so it was beautiful. Nice selection of animals, fun to watch them.

The park has a weird smell to it, like that viral fly trap stuff or a paper factory, it's not the animals that's for sure. My kids LOVE this park. I wish they had a working water fountain tho, the one by the bathrooms was broken when I was there in September. The bathrooms are pretty far from the playground too so make sure your kids go before they get to the playground cos if they're like my kids they won't want to leave that part. The animals are so sweet and seem very cared for. I feel bad for them when it gets really hot out, but that's probably just me projecting.

The park was decorated beautifully with tons and tons of lights. I'm up from Florida and have seen photos of past years my family members have gone. It's even more incredible in person. I'd definitely go through it again and again. Outstanding job Kiwanis !!! One of the top 3 Christmas 🎄 light displays I've ever seen.

Great playground with structures for all ages! The petting zoo on site is an added bonus! The grounds are well maintained and the flowers were beautiful.
