Fun for the whole family. Beautiful trees and plants rides were perfect for our 6 year old grandson and 3 year old granddaughter. A bit expensive for parking $25 and adult ticket. Suggest getting a great America year pass!Visited onWeekendWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedYesPrice for adult entry$31+
I cannot tell you how much fun this park is for families. It is the best! Perfect! It is especially good for families with kids under 12 with some rides geared for 10 and up. Especially to roller coaster. My first impression was simply great! Every employee was over the top happy to meet us, helpful, and cheerful. I was so surprised. Just the way you would want it. The park is beautiful. Not a piece of trash to be found and the abundant and convenient restrooms were spotless. Catch the train first to see the wonderful gardens, woods, and rides then make your plan for the days adventures. Be sure to bring a change of clothes for the kids to enjoy the water. The water park is simply amazing. It even offers adult coolant for those days when the kids are exuberant and we need a bit of something to ease our weary feet and minds. Simply the best!
Definitely recommend this place. Is so beautiful and there is so many flowers and trees around it. The birds sounds are amazing and the river is beautiful. Rides are mostly for kids, but as an adult you will get to relax and enjoy the scenery and fresh air. There is some rides adults can enjoy and train rides that show you the park. Kids under 4 will also enjoy some of the rides. The park was not too crowded and lines were so small. All workers were kind and friendly. Food however is not good and is overpriced. It needs to improve. I recommend eating outside before going in. There is also a water park that is super cute. Place is awesome. We will be going back for halloween and Christmas.
What a heavenly place! It was so nice, shady and green, we just loved it. There was a small queue for almost all the rides, but most of the areas are in shade, it was bearable. There are lots of rides for kids of all ages. Train ride and boat ride is a must! Waterfalls and oasis/ splash pad was such a relief in the hot summer weather. Kids aged 2 and 3 enjoyed a lot. Food inside the park is fine. I really liked the garlic-parsley fries. One can take snacks and water bottles inside. Do check their FAQ, beforehand. Bring your strollers/ wagen. Getting a membership is better if u are a bigger family with kids above 3 years old. Whole garden is well maintained and engaging. Staff is friendly and helpful. Definitely coming back again soon.
Our babies, 1 and 2 years old, really liked the rides they could go on. The park is beautiful and Gilroy should be proud of their little oasis near the bay. On a Monday the park was not crowded at all. Most of the rides are perfect for the small kids. The parks website/app said almost all attractions were open but they were not staffed until later in the afternoon -1. The food prices are typical of amusement parks and an adult beverage runs about $15. The souvenir shop was fairly reasonable and we got our babies little ranger vest for $15.99 each. No outside food or drink, but there is a somewhat hidden shaded bench area available outside the main gate & parking lot near the "Box" circus tree that is perfect for a packed lunch.
Gilroy Gardens Family Theme Park is a beautiful place. There is something for everyone. There are rides for small kids and some rides can be enjoyed by 10yrs+ or adults too. I recommend to do the paddle boat first as later in the day waiting time may be more around 20-25 minutes or more for this ride. Timber twister & quick silver coaster can be enjoyed by adults who are happy with little thrill . Food is bit pricey-. Garlic French fries are worth to try. Nice gardens, rides. Plenty of area to sit and relax. Overall a good place to enjoy with your family. Will plan to visit again.
One of the most beautiful , entertaining , relaxing place you must visit truly a diamond in the rough . It takes a few turns driving here but it's worth it a paradise for the whole family. Food is available to purchase in the garden picnic area outside the gates if you want to bring your own. Gilroy Garden has lots of shade just be ready for long lines to the bathroom so visit there before noon. If possible pay online fast easy and save time money as well. Entrance Parking Food On-line a must Enjoy hope you love it as much as we have.
Had an amazing day with grandkids ages 4 and six. The perfect age to take them to Gilroy gardens. Older kids 10 and up might be bored. Very clean and family friendly. Recommend that you buy entry tickets and parking tickets online in advance. You will save about 20%. Food in the park is very expensive. Bring a picnic lunch but keep it in your trunk. They will not let you bring food in but you can stamp your hand and leave the park when you're ready to eat. There are picnic tables right outside the entry. Easy return back in with your stamped hand. It is not crowded and there are no lines if you go in the morning hours. Crowds come in the afternoon. There is a full water park there. We did not use the water park on this trip. Plenty for the kids to do without going to the water park.
Best theme park for small kids, tons of rides, train and boat ride are unique. Lots of nature, Gardens, unique trees, water falls and lake. Just don't make a mistake to presume with big thrill rides. It's not six flags or great america. Most of the rides are catering for younger kids.Visited onWeekendWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedYesPrice for adult entry$31+
Excellent place to spend time with family especially with little kids under 7-8 years of age. There are many age appropriate rides for little kids, 2 roller coasters, banana split for adults a little lake is there inside the park which allows you to do paddle boating. A train ride which takes you around the entire park so that you can become familiar with the place, and also it’s super fun. Limited eating joints with fast food, ice creams, popcorn etc are available. Their premium membership is worth taking if you live within 50 miles of the park and plan to come again for visiting. Kids under 3 go for free. They also allow you to take some snacks/water for kids/seniors for emergency purposes. During summer it’s open all week, but before n after that it’s only open for weekends. Down side is older kids might not enjoy the park so much since there are not many exciting rides for them. Also their water park area which opens in summers is awesome for all ages to enjoy.
