Hi Margaret !, There isn’t a specific website as far as I know . It’s owned by the city as an attraction, so I found it on St Pete website. I’m not allowed to give the link here in my answer
The City of St. Pete bought the Sunken Garden property with the funds from a voter approved tax. From what I can tell, St. Pete tourism website would be the "official" website.
I thought they closed down . Cause I remember going there as kid . I loved the wax figures of Jesus life . That was my favorite part . But I remember them closing and getting rid of their figurines . When did they reopen?

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.
Does anyone know how long it takes to see the whole garden? Also, what is the parking situation? Thanks in advance!

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.
