About this venue
The Phelps, or “Turtle”, Fountain is the centerpiece of the Lyndale Park Annual-Perennial Garden. It was moved here from its former downtown site in Minneapolis’ Gateway Park. The combination of fountain and flowers, contained by an undulating hedge, makes this a popular spot for garden enthusiasts, wedding ceremonies and photographs. For questions and more information on the venue and it's availability, please call the Minneapolis Park & Recreation Board's customer service number and ask to speak with Evan VanderZiel in the permits department. Please also check out our website for the outdoor ceremony application and more pictures of the venue!
