A great little art walk to visit. It’s definitely a bit out of the way from where you’d typically find sculpture museums but still definitely a place to visit. It is mostly outside so come prepared to walk! Although it does seem like a bit of a scavenger hunt as you can miss some pieces if you don’t pay attention. Would definitely recommend! They are currently doing only reservations so make sure to get your ticket ahead of time.

This my favourite place in Austin, a true gem in the middle of the city. Best part are obviously art sculptures displayed throughout beautiful park like area.We keep coming back at least once a month!

My rate is 3,7.Got in today for free with Bank of America - first weekends gratis for card holders.The garden and views on the river/lake are beautiful. The statues not so interesting (but I know contemporary art is not understood by many 🤣).It was hellish hot today in the garden. Better go in another season! They closed at 1 pm due to the place being reserved for a wedding.Sept. 4 2021

Beautiful gardens and art. Lovely, gorgeous, fabulous. Art classes offered for drawing, painting, ceramics, etc. Thursdays are free admission to walk the grounds and view the art. Perfect place to have a wedding.

A real gem, don’t miss it if you have time in Austin. I went on Friday morning and it was not crowded. Can see it all in an hour but you will want to take your time and maybe go back to see some favorites like I did. Easy walking. I took the bus and had about a mile walk to the gate. Parking looked a little tight for those with cars, you might want to ask about that.

$10/personStreet parking, they have very limited parking on site.Many beautiful/interesting sculpturesA few spots to rest and have a picnic, we chose the little dock by the water.I’d like to come at night and see it lit up. Also would be nice to see a concert or something here.

Im a photographer and recommend Laguna Gloria to ALL of my couples! It is the perfect place to slow down, enjoy the views, and get beautiful photos. Indoor space perfect for sanctuary on a hot Texas day, and so many picture-perfect corners all over the property! I cannot recommend a visit, or a photo shoot here, enough :)

A fantastic place to visit, especially during a global pandemic. Get a little walking done with art and nature. Im a member, but I enjoy bringing new people there every time as if it were my first visit. What a gem!

A whimsical art experience. Discovering sculpture in the woods along the paths, even hanging from the trees, a great way to spend a Sunday morning.

Not a review of the main museum or school but of the grounds, trail and sculptures. A lovely walk in a picturesque setting. Many interesting sculptures and some site-specific installations.

Fantastic museum with low admission fees. They even participate in Bank of Americas Museums on Us program. Friendly staff and the outdoor sculpture garden is initially confusing but once you orient yourself, its pretty easy. Lots of cool and unique pieces. Worth a visit if youre in the area.

Great place especially in second Saturday for kiddos

What fun these last two weekend workshops with Linda Montignani have been!! I have learned so much in terms of technique; met new friends; and just all in all loved being out in the real world after so much ZOOMING!!

I found out about the Place through some friends and Im really glad I found it because has some pieces from some amazing artists. Would highly recommend this place to anybody looking to spend a few hours in the beautiful Park and as a tourist fell really welcoming into Austin plus the staff was really nice at the help desk.

Took a drawing class here last fall, highly recommend the art classes that they offer . Their teachers are very knowledgeable and the classes are some of the most reasonably priced in the city. Such a beautiful campus, peacocks everywhere, water and a beautiful trail with sculptures galore! Very inspiring campus for drawing, photography, writing, etc.

Wonderful outdoor art gallery and Austin Film Society moving pictures

So worth it! The exhibits are so fun and interactive! Spend a beautiful day outside! Lots of parking. Pretty sure it’s free Tuesday. And if you buy admission you get admission to both museums: this on and the one on Congress.

A photographers goldmine!

Laguna Gloria is my favorite museum in Austin. The scenery and incredible art make it one of the best spots in Austin for special moments. Thats why when my wife and I started our wedding planning process in 2019, Laguna seemed like a no-brainer for our intimate outdoor ceremony. Everything about the experience was so magical and perfect! We loved working with Arin Madera (touring the site to signing our contract) and then Shannon Willis (the rehearsal and our day of logistics). The staff is so professional and kind and made our little COVID wedding possible. We truly felt celebrated and taken care of. Highly recommend!

Beautiful box overlooking the lake. I dont like the aluminuman foil like sculpture in front of it. Art junk.

Beautiful and quiet place. The amalgamation of nature, art, and the lake breeze work splendidly. A great place to meditate and relieve stress.

Its hard to beat an outdoor sculpture garden thats also on the water! Definitely worth a visit for the location itself. The art is quirky and fun, but definitely very modern. You can go into the house and see a few of the rooms on the bottom floor. Your ticket also gets you access to the Contemporary Museum on Congress.

Such a peaceful place, always love coming here. They have wonderful covid practices, and make sure you reserve your appointment time on their website. Just wish it were closer to my house!

Breathtakingly beautiful. A serene and worthwhile excursion for the whole family.

The bunny is permanently crying, which is sad but also relatable.

Great Art Classes here! I loved their watercolor class!

Fun and beautiful!!! Although most of the art begs to be touched/climbed/messed with and we arent supposed to right now. Great outdoor family outing. :)

Perfect place for couples, families with kids who want to create something artsy or just walk around!

Interesting sculptures and a nice walk through the outdoor museum. The peacocks and coy ponds are really cool.

Great place to wander around among the tree lined paths around a lagoon with internationally respected contemporary sculpture. Beautiful grounds. Art school also located on the property. The classes I have taken were excellent.

Beautiful gardens and a nice museum of contemporary art.

Serene and green but rather small - still a good spot to chill.

Great wedding at this place

One of the best kept secrets in terms of tourist stops in Austin. The grounds are beautiful, and the space really is wonderful for special events, or just a quiet morning walk on the grounds. Dont miss seeing the peacocks at Mayfield Park just nextdoor.

We were taking a tour of Austin with an older lady friend who was showing us around the city and she brought us here. It was really a hidden gem. I had never heard about this place until this day. They have really cool sculptures and random pieces of art in the courtyard area when you drive in. There is not cost to drive in and park. It is completely free! They have a walkway where you can walk down to the lake and see the water and trails. We didnt get a chance to walk down the trails but they seemed really pleasant and made me want to come back just to check them out. They had a piece in the courtyard made from all recycled aluminum food storage containers. It was very cool and really BIG! I wish we had more time to check out more things. We will surely be coming back here very soon. So much to see , so little time !!

Very nice place with a lot of sculptures and beautiful view and landscape!

Peaceful. A delightful place to relax and balance your energy.

One of my favorite places in Austin. Relaxing walk next to the lake surrounded by outdoor sculptures and a variety of art pieces. I have taken many Art classes throughout the years. Prices have gone up per class but is still worth it because the Teachers are excellent and the staff is very nice. Just feels like a home away from home.

Attended a wedding at this outdoor venue. Very nice.

Gorgeous venue!!!

1 of the most beautiful museums in Austin!!

As a photographer, I absolutely love working at Laguna Gloria and teaming up with the The Contemporary Austin team. The property is incredibly beautiful and well-maintained, which makes this a no-brainer for bridal portraits, engagements, weddings - you name it. The team is professional and is truly dedicated to making sure that the Austin community gets to enjoy and appreciate the arts at The Contemporary. Their events and site rentals team always makes things easy - I would give the property 10 stars if I could.

ITs is koool

Lovely peacock sanctuary full of art and picturesque nature nooks. Located down the street from scenic Mt. Bonnell.

This place is such a great place to bring out of town friends. The house and natural surroundings is just amazing. Puts me in a good mood every time. Dogs are welcome to come with outside if they are on a leash. Tuesdays are their free days which is cool, they do accept donations though! The featured art changes through the year as well.

Wild

I attended the Indie House Events launch at this beautiful venue. The parking is street parking so for bigger events I am unsure if they offer a different option but, I would opt for valet parking if you are having a wedding or classier affair. The grounds are gorgeous but, make sure you tell your guests to wear flats or shoes they can walk down stairs and across unpaved areas.The view at the bottom near the water is impeccable. I could see a beautiful wedding taking place here especially since they have a section for a ceremony with tiered seating for optimal views and picture taking options for all guests. I imagine that the area that we were in, which as water view access, would be great for a tented reception.I didnt see any bathroom options so, I cant comment on that but, overall this is a very beautiful venue with well manicured lawns that worked great for the event that I was at and I am sure it would for many others. It definitely has many photo op areas with lush greenery!

Such a great place to see contemporary art, relax, be in the nature. I really enjoyed my time here.

The Contemporary Austin - Laguna Gloria is a very relaxing and serene location situated on the bank of Lady Bird Lake near downtown Austin. Contemporary Artwork sculptures throughout the property add a visually intriguing element to the visit along with the various art workshop areas and classrooms.

When I visited, I wasnt given too much information. It was just a little off-putting when we first walked in. Theres not much thats clearly marked. There was a bride in a chaise lounge being photographed in the room with the information desk. The worker at the desk told us somewhat vaguely that there were art exhibits outside and I picked up a map myself. The artwork was fantastic and so are the views. It was a great place to walk around for an afternoon. But Id suggest investing a little more into signage at the very least.

This is one of my most favorite museums in town. Beautiful landscaping. Right on the water. Some interesting art pieces in the main building. They also offer a variety of art classes throughout the year.

This place has great classes, with amazing teachers. Perfect place to start taking art classes and they have a lot of cool sculptures around the area. Love it all!!

Laguna Gloria is part of The Contemporary (formerly the Austin Museum of Art) and a beautiful property near Lake Austin. My main experiences here have been the annual La Dolce Vita Food and Wine Festival that serves as a fundraiser for the art school. Ive volunteered for the event several years in a row and love seeing all the new artwork that gets added year to year.

A real treasure of Austin. Beautiful grounds and a great place to bring friends from out of town. An oasis just a short drive from downtown.

Beautiful and serene

What a hidden gem! This place is spectacular. Great, short scenic hikes and sculptures. One of my very favorite places in Austin.

The AMOA Arthouse is one of a kind. The grounds are beautiful and the exhibitions are always interesting. The main building is rather small, but there is always a lot to see. They also have quite the variety of art classes for all ages. Definitely worth checking out even if you just walk around the grounds.

The sculptures most likely will not blow your mind away, but it is a very nice little park. The fee is $5 per person.

Super beautiful and awesome place to spend an afternoon outside, absolutely love everything about it. Nice drive too, free admission on Tuesdays I think

Fine property to hold a wedding ceremony for over 200 guests; thats what I did.

There are a lot of classes available here, and member previews are held here as well for those with a membership to AMOA/Arthosue (theyre combined now). The grounds are beautiful, and there are many weddings associated with this place. If youve been to the museums downtown already and are looking for something new- take a short drive out here and get what youre looking for.

Beautiful grounds for La Dolce vita!It is an annual event where local restaurants and vendors setup booths for you to try their tasty morsels.All the proceeds go back to help out AMOA.Start looking for it during the summer!

Beautiful, classic Austin location. Great for weddings, hosts my favorite event, La Dolce Vita, every year in the fall. Art classes are held on the grounds as well.

The inside portions are small, but the sprawling pathways through trees and beside the lake are spotted with interesting sculpture.

Staff is so friendly and helpful!

One of my favorite places to go. LOVE it here.

I cant speak to the school here, but the historic building of Laguna Gloria is gorgeous and a real Austin treat. The tour is minimal but Im really looking forward to one of the festivals that are held there annually (Italian fest and the Dolce Vita fund raiser are two that come to mind).

Came here for a mini golf exhibit and had a blast. The area is absolutely gorgeous!

Its a very nice place clean place and my daughter goes there often

I love Laguna Gloria, the grounds are so nice. The house itself is fairly small but houses a nice collection.

Unique sculptures, docks, walking trails, event space, lit trails, gazebos and other seating spaces, bite of nature, & art art art!

Amazing and inspiring sculpture park on beautiful grounds.

Beautiful place. Waterfront view with swans. Serenity.

Nice place to roam around the grounds and enjoy art and nature

Beautiful Architecture of the Home turned art museum!

Definitely worth a visit.No art inside, but a great place to walk around and spend an hour or so.

Amazing grounds and sculptures.

A good place with a beautiful building

Wheres the color?

Wonderful

The park is beautiful, The people very friendly but the statues insignificant! Fortunately, my partner had free tickets with her bank ....

Peaceful and exotic place
