A:
It is just a flower & plant garden. I used to go there as a child also. Sunken Gardens never had statues of Jesus that I know of. Maybe you are thinking of someplace else.

The Gardens shares a parking lot with a restaurant and a Children's Museum. The lot can get packed on weekends. Sometimes if you circle for awhile, someone will be leaving and a space will open. If not, there is parking across the street. There are many restaurants located on 4th Avenue. So, if you want to eat before or after, you have many choices. The Gardens take about 1 hour to go thru. The gift shop has many nice items to buy. Heads Up: They do close areas of the Gardens for Weddings. Also, check on Groupon for a discount.
