Description - While visiting The Ringling, you are welcome to explore the vast 66-acre grounds at your leisure. As awe-inspiring as any work of art, the Bayfront Gardens are a living treasure that will awaken all your senses. Relax under the shade of a banyan tree, feel the cooling breezes coming off the bay as you walk along the promenade, and smell the intoxicating perfumes of flowers in bloom and paint Mable Ringlings Rose Gardens. The Bayfront Gardens offer many different plants, trees, sculptures, and trails for you to enjoy all year long. The Ringling encompasses a wide range of architectural styles and structures.
