What visitors say
Came here for the lights, like we have for the past 8 years. We love it. Park on the south side and walk in so you don’t have to wait in the really long car line. We like walking around better than driving. Some of the lights are synced…
As a park reviewer of over 100 parks, I found Sibley Park an exceptional park unlike many other city parks. Very unique! This is a park the City of Mankato should be very proud. The main playground has a red barn theme that fits well…
Very clean, well maintained lawn and gardens. Gorgeous environment. So many kids playing in the playground. The animals all were healthy pens cleaned. To feed the animals was very cheap and all goes back to the community. Great places…
