Reviews of Gilroy Gardens Family Theme Park (Park)

Magali Aispuro

Today was awesome! It wasn't packed so the lines for all the rides were short. The water park, well ... that's a different story. My kids played in the outside water play area and had more fun. It's a great place for small kids. And the hours are perfect!

Kris

We went to the Halloween event they started today. It was something different for us to take the kids and they had little stations where they give out candy. The entrance is really lit up nice, but I feel like it can be lit up more where they have the candy places. Besides that it was a nice night out

James Turnbough

It was relaxing, my daughter enjoyed herself. I didn't know what to expect. But we had a fun day with her friends from her girl scout troop. The park is definitely geared towards younger children. Lots of greenery and shade and some interesting trees.

Lupe Grajeda

Amazing and fun! Lots of shade, great food, great waterpark too.

Julio Torres

Last minute decided to spend the day here. My little mermaid loved it!

Timoteo Cruz

Super Duper fun its a very good family theme park.

Bettys Eyeson

The place is great for the family. I think children from 1 to 10 will really enjoy this place. If you are planning to eat there, I suggest you do it before 4pm because many restaurants close before that and your only choice will be pizza.

Drake Ames

Always family friendly and my family and I always have a good time.

Mark Anderson

My family had a great time here. They have a fun water park area that the kids loved and some fun rides. What I appreciated the most was how many of the rides I was able to my 2 year old on. The grounds are really beautiful and the place was very relaxing.

Monique Narvaez

Great place for family and small kids. Love the water oasis area. Prices are decent. If you get a premium pass there alot of great incentives. My Kids enjoy it. Clean safe family environment. Only negative I have is the water oasis after dark should really be pushed for adults only. I know they really cant say that but the idea is for a adults to have a few hours of fun, drinks, good company with no kids .

Daniel Kratofil

Great place for kids. Always clean and maintained very well.

Adam Chandler

Great place for families to hang out. But your tickets online to save a little money. All rides are kid friendly. Beautiful area.

5Mutee S

Great place for the kids especially their water park and their train

Libby Kranz

Love this place.. kids from 1-10. No big rides though if you have a thrill seeker.

Annie Chiu

Great water park for summer family activities. Lots of rides for small and big kids that you can spend the whole day at the park without worrying about not getting decent food/restaurants.

D Moneyz

My toddler enjoys coming here! Which makes us happy... More ride choices for little ones. Plus they do a great job with decorations for Halloween/Christmas holidays! We are locals so we get a gold pass? Which let's you park for free and get 20% off food and merchandise in the park! Oh, and the water park and little shows they have are a plus.

Tim Stirdahl

We had a great time! Get the fast pass it's worth your time

Victoria Cisneros

Hacka fun tell the power went out and no refund or compensation. Ants crawling all over me

Jackie Garay

We love this place! My child enjoys it and it's great for summer fun! We rode rides played in the water and saw the beautiful surrounding.

Rubi Rocha

Place is more accommodating for younger children, dont recommend for children 10 and up...not that fun for them. My toddler loved it

harry brar

A must visit place this summer season with kids and family. Great for couples. I recommend premium passes to access all rides and food discounts and multiple visits during the season. Parking free on premium passes only. A man dedicated his life to conceptualise the gardens so let's visit in honor of his dream.

Lora Vascik

They had no sauce for chicken nuggets but wanted to charge me for dressing as a substitute and then offered me ketchup for free I had no fries. Crazy place!

Omar Martinez

Really cute and fun family theme park. Prices are little steep so it's worth checking out if you have a discounted admission. My kids are younger so they had a blast. It might be a little harder to impress the teenagers. Also if you're getting tickets online ahead of your visit don't even bother buying the souvenir drink cup. Only half of the vendors honor the cup and food operating hours are spotty.

D ee

So fun for toddler aged kids. Water park area - crowded as expected during hot weather.

sa ce

Couldn't have ask for better treatement. Camp night was great.

Vikas Sharma

Great place for kids and a day trip for bay area residents. Kids of age 2+ and easily upto 10 can find something or other of their interest. My toddler loves to come here for train ride, face painting, several other rides and a small water park which is great. Cabanas are available to rent for those who want more space etc.

Mani J

Great for toddlers. No line for rides. But they need to make the swim area bigger, it was 3rd world crowded.

Josie Ferguson

I thought the place was beautiful but i feel you need to change name to Gilroy Garden for kids. Nothing there was for adults to get on rides it was all for kids. My grandaughters loved but maybe include grown up rides. We had a great time thank you.

Lisa Cosio

Very peaceful, fun, and different. If it only was a bit much bigger with more rides. Otherwise we had fun.

Nayeli Amezcua

Soo fun I love it sooooooooooo much and very family friendly

aca

Really cute shops and places to eat, pretty environment. If you have younger kids or neices/ nephews, I highly recommend taking them there.

Librada Banderas

Gilroy Gardens is a perfect theme park for younger children. Its got plenty of shade, a cute little water park, rides, and the staff is very friendly.

Thinh Mai

Love this place. Rides and water area. We have season passes

andrew bowdish

Very cool throwback theme park. Lots of little kid rides and things to do. Also educational areas. Great place for the family

Heather Hudler

The food was overpriced and not very good. They also gave my two toddlers rotten milk! My daughter started throwing up! I then realized the milk was chunky and rotten!!! When I told the employee they gave them water and offered medical attention ! Besides that my kids have a great time. Just beware of the food and drinks their!

Ashish Chaudhary

Best park for kids under 5 , get there early otherwise it gets busy.. lots of places to eat inside the park but pack a lot of snacks as you will be spending the whole day there.

mike danielsen

Great, low-key family theme park. Lost of stuff for little kids. Not many teenagers running around. We have been going here for 16 years. Great place to spend a relaxing day in some beautiful gardens.

Miguel Rivas

Great for kids under 10; very child centric. My kids had a blast. The map shows how intense the rides are for your little one. There are a variety of child play activities: play yard, science exploration, rides, water park, picnic areas, monarch butterfly exhibit, live shows, & save $5 for the petting zoo which you must pass by on your way out. The zoo was by far my kids favorite activity. They have a pony. They also have pigs, llamas, goats, and chickens your child can catch and hold. The treasure chest was also a highlight for my kids. You buy a bag and fill it up with truly cheap "treasure" plastic jewels. Food is overpriced, so eat ahead of time. Cold 1% milk is widely available. I only noticed cold 2% milk at one location.

Edna Price

The big kids had fun. Oh yeah, so did the little ones.

Mrs Orr

Great place to go and take the whole family especially the younger ones. Also good for couples to enjoy the multiple gardens within the amusement park and walk alongside various waterfall alongside streams. The entrance walkway is a big beautiful bridge. Lots of walkways that are serene and easygoing. Very relaxing and beautiful views. Went on Memorial day and it was not crowded at all. I highly recommend if you like nature watching. Lots of different places to eat: Asian food, Mexican food, pizza, BBQ kebabs, kid friendly eats, Boba place, Dippin dots, and a Cafe serving coffee to keep you awake while taking in the sights and sounds. Don't forget the funnel cake shop. The rides are mostly kid friendly with the most thrilling one would be the coal mining one, goes medium fast just enough to get your blood pumping. The monarch garden we didn't see any butterflies, but different kinds of smaller trees like mango and coffee bean trees, not as nice as the gardens, so maybe skip that. One of the main highlights of our trip was the enclosed waterfall area. There's a walkway and you can step right up to the 4 waterfalls. 2 of them can splash on you too. A must see up close! All in all, a great day for going out!

Shari Usher

This is a fun place to take my niece she loves the rides as well as the water and barn

Christan Maxwell

Cute place for young kids, was a little curious and took my daughter who was 12 at the time, we were bored and was part of our great America pass. We just needed something to do, we went early and noone was there. Being curious we just walked around rode some rides and stayed for 4 hours. Definitely enjoyed the time remembering when she was little and we had places like this in San Diego. But this is a place for 8 and younger. Cute for sure, 4 hours was plenty of time.

Chanessa Hurst

Our family loves getting the season passes from Great America with Gilroy Gardens included....such a great place for kids/family's

ashley stidham

Gilroy gardens is such a fun place for younger children. It's clean. Staff is friendly. the rides are fun but the water Oasis is even better. Highly recommended for anyone with younger kids

Carlos Pineda

Such a great place to being family. This was out first time visiting and definitely Italy won't be out last. From paddle boats to water park. This place has it all We will definitely will return during the summer and take advantage of the water park here.

selma Sen

Worst park ever, do not go!! Crowded, big lines and not fun at all. If you have a special diet and bringing your own food, they don’t let you in the park.

Bryan Meyer

Great theme park for kids up to around 10 years old. The previous weekend I went to Great America and this place is considerably better if you children are young (under 10). Almost all the rides are accessible to small kids except for a few roller coasters and the swings. Has a beautiful scenery with lots of plants. And there are lots of shaded areas. Definitely plan to go back again. They also have a water park which hadn’t opened yet, so I look forward to checking that out the next time.

Barbara Fernandes

My kids love going here. It is oriented to families with younger kids. I would say 12 and under. Educational opportunities and fun. It is also close to our campground which is nice too!

Elyk 1776

Great place for the kids! I went during memorial weekend and it wasn't to packed. Kids seemed to have a great time. Definitely would recommend this place.

Gennifer Vega

Great options for little kids. Every time we go its never crowded. Pretty good food options and nice landscaping/setting not too many hills to tire you out.

Steven Callahan

This place is amazing! If you haven't been it is worth the trip. The park is so beautiful, and everyone is so friendly. Our 3 year old Grandson absolutely loves it there and we can't wait to take him back.

Rudy Slankauskas

Theme park with many rides geared toward younger kids. There are a number of things for older people to do but the focus is on younger folks. There are many rides where they may be too short but can ride with a bigger person. The food choices looked good but we didn't try any but the funnel cake which was fine. They have several water themed areas to cool off on a hot day.

renee smith

My daughter & I bought the season pass great place to go for a few hours & to waer my grandsons out. We have not rode all the ride's yet ..so fun.

Sidney Capillas

Great theme park for the family especially to those who love gardens, trees and nature. They have good rides as well.

Wayne Augustineq

Great place for the family. Very clean and great staff.

Ulises Nunez

My son loves this place. Perfect for kids especialy with the new addition to the water oasis,

C Y

This is a great place for todlers. As for eating, you want to avoid The Wok Chinese food. It took 25 minutes to get a Teriyaki beef bowl and the Chinese Chicken Salad and the salad had no taste what so ever. The meal was definitely not worth $30. Other than the bad food experience, Gilroy Garden is a nice place to bring your todlers.

William Kojak

Lots of fun for the whole family, too much to do in 1 day.

Priyadharsini Kannavadi Chandrasekaran

Beautiful place and a must go for small kids (3 to 10 years). If you are looking for grown up thriller rides, you have only a few. Grown ups can go along with kids in most of the kids' rides.My kid thoroughly enjoyed it and so did we. The ambience is beautiful. I loved it.

Jimmy Fung

This is a theme park for younger kids. I personally think it was best for my then 4 year old and our 7 year old. The water oasis with the ability for the kids to get m soaking wet and splash in the water was the best part during the summer months. I like th learning exhibits just so that I could teach them some cool stuff while having fun. The monarch butterfly exhibit was smaller than I thought but the garden area with the waterfalls were nice. The food and beverage places, like at all theme parks, was expensive with food and beverage costing about 3x-4x what you would pay at a store. Staff was friendly across the park. I would recommend this to other families for a good day trip as it opens around 11AM and closes ar 5PM. This give enough time drive down and then leave early enough to grab dinner before getting the kids to bed.

Andre Sosinski

Best park outside of Disneyland for kids 1-10. Our daughter is 14 and still loves to come here to play and volunteer.]

Vanessa Jeronimo

Fun for the whole family! Kid's wish there were more rollercoasters.

Jessica Imbleau

Fun theme park. We have a 4 year old, but she had really out grown the rides. Really more small kids this parkins great, we just have a thrill seeker.

Fatema Taher

Great place for rides and fun. Especially for kids aged 4-9. They have a water park in the summer and it's a very well planned shaded and serene garden to walk through.

chasity bustamante

I loved it super relaxing but the water park probably was the best I will definitely be coming back many times after and it helps that we are gold pass members to Great America so we get admission free at bonfante Gardens

Nanda Kumar CH

Definitely worth visiting it multiple times if you have toddler age kids.. otherwise also is a must visit place..

Esperanza Ortega

Beautiful place to visit, kids loved it, husband loved it, I love this place. Weather is beautiful in May. Friendly staff, clean atmosphere, rides and entertainment.

Donald Poulton

I enjoyed it more than great America. Although it closes at 6 pm

Mrs. Gonzales

Would reccomend this place a million times over Disney Land. Gilroy Gardens is entirely designed with Families in mind. Many, many places to stop and rest. Many bathrooms. Various food options. Very short wait times for the rides. And a variety of attractions, not just rides. Visited for the first time recently. And will be back soon :) Thank you Gilroy Gardens for the amazing time and memories I was able to make.

Yolanda david

Its gilroy gardens and its super fun its for friends and familys and they have fun rides for big kids and little kids

Deftowl Games

Gun for kids somewhat fun for adults

Gwenee_AT melon

The place is wonderful when u go to bed you have a nice stary night view

April Castaneda

I love Gilroy Gardens. It's such a unique place to visit. It's up in the mountains. It has Cute rides for kids. There's a water park in it. Great food. I absolutely love the all the trees, the flowers. It gets packed fast. The rides are free. Because the tickets to get in are pricey. But I think its totally worth it.

Reydan Mababangloob

Great place for kids! Relaxing and nature-friendly!

Sukhwant Dhami

Good for kids under 8 year old !! natural and beautiful view...

Martin Rositas

Geat place for little kids, not as packed as say great america.

danniele nilmeyer

Always have a great time there with my family. Check out the beautiful monarchs that are there right now.

Vero Bonilla

Its was a very nice place to bring my 2 yr son

Bonnie Beadle

My kids enjoyed as well as my husband and I. Such a great place to spend the day. We will be back again next summer.

Robin Lee Hansen

This park is clean the lush gardens, waterpark, lake with swan and mallard duck paddle boats was so charming. The rides were geared to small kids and a few thrill rides. Food was healthy and plentiful. We will come again.

cristina diaz

Omg! My kiddos loved it. It's very clean I mean the bathrooms smelled great. Kids got to get in every ride but we went on a Monday. I bet it gets packed during the weekend. Didn't eat there the food was crazy expensive and the waters. Bring your own waters. They dont let you bring soda but water yes. But this place is great especially for the little ones

Kevin Sewell

This is most certainly a family park. Kids will love it here and nearly everything is designed with small children in mind. It's a good size to walk around in and has many lovely gardens to view which can be a good place to let your child take a nap in as most of them have good shade coverage. It is a little pricey but does have a season pass that connects to other parks.

Victor Sandoval

Such a beautiful park lots of waterfalls and beautiful landscapes. Park is good for young kids lots of rides for them

rod smith

Great theme park for small kids...rest a Cabana in the summer and lounge at the water park.

Serop Farajian

The place is majestic the garden well made and make you feel comfortable.

Ayami Yamazaki

We really enjoyed camping here. The fee for one night of camping, watching movie , three meals and one theme park ticket, was $70, which was very reasonable. When you watch movie, I recommend you to seat close to the front since the screen is not so big. It was very cold at dawn. In the theme park, luckily we didn’t wait in line a lot except for the ride “South County Backroads.” There were some water playgrounds and a shallow pool for the kids, it was so much fun! ==Camp Night Itinerary== *1st day 4pm-6pm Arrival and tent set up time 6pm-7pm Dinner 8:30pm Movie at the Amphitheater (Pop corn and Drinks were provided) 11:00 Lights out *2nd day 7:30am-8:30am Breakfast 8:30am-9:30am Pack up and drive to parking lot A 10am Theme Park 12pm-1pm Lunch 1pm-6pm Theme Park

Aaron Hayes

I take my nephew to this park and have the time of his life, it was funny see him running and playing around, it's a nice place, food it's cheap!

praveen kumar reddy koppula

Nice theme park. Perfect for kids. Even to go multiple times. Fun is guaranteed. I like it.

E-tray 5

This place is really good for kids, there is alot of shade while you wait in line for the ride and , when we went you didn't have to wait long to get on any of the ride. They also have a water area for the kids with a bunch of slides. It is hard to watch you kids because of so many people, but the life guards were very alert of scanning the area.

Joe Shmoe

Shaded serene environment, beautiful vegetation, lots of carnival style rides for young kids. The price is very reasonable considering the cost of other amusement parks, especially if you buy the season pass. I have young kids and it is a great way to spend the day.

devon kaiser

It was a great day went to oasis first .What a great time. So just miss the skyTrail monorail.That was ok so I wait patiently for it to come ,while waiting hearing the conversation of the staff complaining about how she has to work Friday Saturday and Sunday. So finally it came back then the staff showed interest with us saying sorry your child dose not match the height requirements. I understand the rules why couldn't they tell me when we got there so we did not have to wait.

David Minten

Loved it. Great way to spend the day.

jaxson Machallister

Fun for all ages!!! Great shade! Fantastic water park as well.

Francisco contreras

Is a really good place to spend with the family

Taiebeh Tahmasebi

It's a great place. We go with our toddler every weekend...but it's too crowded. Also, the water park is not that clean. These are yet not my main concern, but I found the problem the mixed little pool for toddlers and older kids. Toddlers are too scared of splashing water on them. They need more quiet time. It was much better if the little pool could be only for little ones.

Kate Dooling

Nice place, my kids and I had fun, but way over priced. $20 just for parking! Tickets are outrageous too, but luckily I got those on Groupon. And don't get me started on the food; one adult meal was close to $20!! I honestly won't go there again just because the prices are insane.

Mark Ignaszewski

This is fun for a family with younger kids. No "hair on fire" rides. But some moderately exhilarating rides for the younger kids. And the water park is great on a hot Gilroy afternoon.

Peng Du

Good amusement park for families with young kids. Lots of shades and chairs so it is easy day for parents.

K Lee

This is a large, attractively designed amusement park for pre-teen children. One roller coaster isn't very fast or scary. The rest of the rides are smaller, but there are enough choices for kids to spend all day enjoying themselves. Attractive gardens spread throughout the park help keep parents from getting bored.

lore lore

Fun place for children about ages 2yrs-10yrs old. Gilroy Gardens Yearly season parking pass for Great America gold pass members for 2019 is $40.00. Daily parking pass is $20.00.

Lupita Ochoa

I love this place has a lot of shade there is a lot of trees amazing

Steven Fisher

Gilroy Gardens is a beautiful place and my kids love it. Have had allot of great times there . Gilroy Gardens is a Family Theme park and it was shocking to me how much alcohol was being served on New Year's. It was like walking into a night club .I sure don't want my young CHILDREN to be surrounded by people who have been drinking.Not really thinking about safety of families.Not everyone can control themselves..I just don't get it .

Ellie Contreras

First time here. Kids loved it it's the perfect place for young kids and for the pare that like to walk. Will definitely come back soon

Yoselyn Vargas

Great place for little ones not too fun for teenagers

Lanai Strawn

Had a great time. I just can't justify paying $15 parking and then $42 per person to enter the park. The food is so expensive. I swear I entered Disneyland.

Isabelle Estrada

1st visit with family and grandson was very impressed with park water oasis and rides scenery was beautiful planning another trip with entire family for family reunion.

Amanda Pike

We enjoyed our first time there with our little guy. He had an awesome time too. Glad we got 2020 season passes! Can't wait for more trips.

KT Fox

Saw a young employee being reprimanded for trying to keep customers safe...bad form. The women that complained out and out lied. Reprimands should be done in private. And the customer IS NOT ALWAYS RIGHT, some are downright obnoxious as this women was. Listen and support but get the facts straight.

Hermann Haller

Was surprised at how nice and clean it was and it’s perfect for toddlers. Our 3 year old was able to ride all the rides except the roller coaster. Only downside is that the staff at concession stands really take their sweet time so the lines for food at all four of the concessions we were at took a while, but it was nice in another sense in that it slowed down our own pace and we had a relaxing day.

Veronica Von

It had a lot of beautiful scenery,gardens and its little kid friendly. It wasnt too crowded. We had fun. It had a little bit of everything including a splash pad.

Tommy Vo

Excellent place to take families with toddlers. Park is geared for 7 and younger. Majority of rides are tiny kiddie rides. Kids older will not have as much fun. Tho, during the summer their water area does cater to all ages. Park food is above average compared to similar venues.

Patrick Jean

The service has gone down, they prices have gone up. $212 for a family of four, plus $20 for parking. Entry was a nightmare, long lines just too get through a security check at park entry. They actually made TSA look competent. At the cafe, took over 40 minutes to get pizza. Service workers were grumpy and generally unhappy. Overall, very disappointing.

Hazel Portillo

My son celebrated his second birthday with family and it was great. The food was arranged simple and perfectly and tasted great. It was a stress free day and amazing.

Mason Taylor

So much fun for the kids! The water park area is awesome and super family friendly. It is also really nice to walk all around the park because there is lots of shade to cool off in whenever you want!

Samantha Garcia-Zepeda

Amazing place to take your children to play in the water park. Nice shade!!

Lisa Faria

Went to Gilroy Gardens for the Gardens at night - Halloween event and was amazed at how great it was! My daughter has brought my granddaughter for the past 3 weeks so I couldn't wait to check it out. The staff uniforms were so cute and the staff so friendly. Kids get to trick or treat in a safe and fun environment. The train ride was super cool, they hand out flash lights and do a show! The theater show on the stage was great too. Corn on the cob was a spectacular treat, lights beautiful and a great evening out! I highly recommend visiting and can't wait for the Christmas Gardens at night!

Fabiola Caballero

Where do I start. Its a beautiful park the lines are not long especially on fridays. A week before I came here I went to Disneyland and believe me I enjoyed this one a lot more. We got the season pass and its totally worth it, parking is free usually its 15 I believe. You also get 20% off with the season pass in all stores they have, and you can make payments for a season pass online, also you can bring a friend on fridays with the season pass. So consider getting the season pass if you plan on returning to the park.

Victor Berchet

Very good for our 2 year old. There are many things for him to do at this age. He loved the pet zoo and the train. There are also great water games.

Ali Akbary

This is a great place for younger kids. It now has a legitimate water park, for younger kids. The rides are great and it's a great introduction into rides for the little ones. The place is clean and we really like this place!

Wile E Coyote

Not overly crowded, reasonably priced for tickets and food, compared to other theme parks. Water park was updated recently, very popular. Lots of shady areas due to all the trees. Rides are great for kids of all ages. Definitely a great place for Bay Area parents to take their kids for a fun day.

Rubu Sieling

My girls loved it, really crowded on a Saturday. Next time ill go on a weekday and pack swimsuits for everyone. Also byow (bring your own water) 2 for 6.50 is just criminal

Irina Warkentin

Its amazing, you will enjoy very much, mostly for kids.

Angel Stigen

It was awesome and beautiful and the staff was all super polite and nice

PATTY VERA

Nice little theme park for kids under 8, the only thing I didn't like was that everyone has to pay to get in even the grandparents that didn't get on any rides. With us it was 2 adults, 4 kids and 2 seniors so it adds up.

valerie parker

This is a beautiful great place to take kids and just enjoy yourself :) I really think it's a great place - everyone should check it out! :)

Stephanie Hopson

Beautiful scenery. The park itself is fun, but in a bit of disrepair. It could really use some general maintenance even if it is superficial. Especially if it's more than what meets the eye. We enjoyed the half day we spent here. Probably would have enjoyed it more if the water rides we're open.

William Holly

Fantastic amusement park for the whole family. Lots of rides for a variety of ages. The scenery is beautiful. I highly recommend viewing the park from the ferris wheel, and if you enjoy roller coasters then check out the Quick Silver Express Mine Coaster.

Kalepherion

A fantastic fun place. The trees are awesome, the rides fun. See this place, it is worth it! Lots of good parking.

Matthew Z

It isn't bad, but there aren't many rides and the prices are outrageous. 20 dollars for parking? The website also has false advertising. Even Legoland has almost the same price and even cheaper with Groupon! Not worth 58 per person plus 20 parking. A dasani water is 4.25. Wow.

John Dennis

A little out of the way for a seaside local but my son loves this place! Awesome visuals and just a genuinely great place to walk around. Some of the ride wait times can be a little long such as the hot air balloons and train which are best to avoid during busy times with a little one. They offer ice skating at a more than reasonable price during Christmas which isn’t crowded like other theme parks in the area. Great place to walk and drink some hot chocolate during the holidays!

Victor Berchet

Very good for our 2 year old. There are many things for him to do at this age. He loved the pet zoo and the train. There are also great water games.

Abigail Ruiz

Great Place to go as a family trip. Enjoyed it a lot.

Amandeep Singh

kids' friendly rides...small but nice water park...fun place...

Amber Celeste Ventura

This is my favorite amusement park. It's absolutely beautiful. The food is great. It's great for kids, and mello for the people who dont like rollercoasters, but still has enough thrill to satisfy. It's a very relaxing and amazing place to be.

cgy jgf

Went today sunday oct 6th and it was not crowded which was awesome. My 9 and 11 yo boys loved a bunch of the rides. Quicksilver roller coaster was a really fun ride. All the rides are very short. There's a bunch of other rides that big kids will like. I loved the healthy food options in the refrigerated premade deli sections at both sugar plum and pizza & pasta. The had boiled eggs, hummus and pita bread, fresh fruit, salads, spinach tri tip wraps, yum! The chow mein noodles at the wok are really disgusting, get the rice instead and the food is really expensive, of course. We did not like the rainbow boat ride very much.

Supathorn Son

Love it. Would be even better if it was a free parking.

Joan Sassman

40$ season parking with Great Anerica Gold card. Has small rides and a water park inside. Its beautiful and very fragrant. Many shady spots for hot days.

Alex Price

The premium pass is worth it if you live nearby and have kids. The park is a great place for young ones to get their energy out. There is a variety of rides geared toward small children. Also there are playgrounds and a water park.

Rotem Levi

It was water oasis water pools for kids. This is just fun to be in the pool.

Akbope Kiyakbaeva

Too crowded, too expensive and so much tiring place. Definitely Not a place for families loving quite and comfortable atmosphere with relaxed walks at simple playgrounds and parks. One of the water parks is actually even dangerous. My preschooler was pushed by other kid and injured his leg because asphalt on water play area was of hard material, not the one that is supposed to be for kids. We bought membership before testing this place relying on great reviews and we really regret about it. Please check this place with your preferences before committing yourself and your family to the membership here. In addition would recommend to pick sum snacks or food from home, as food here is super expensive and super terrible. We paid 45$ for 4 pieces of chicken tenders with French fries in one of the cafes and this was the worst experience with food in Bay Area.

Shyamsunder Rathi

Fun place to spend a day with family. It is mainly kids oriented, as it lacks any kind of roller coasters, but it is a blast for the kids!

Daisy Lopez

Loved it but it closes sooo early we didnt get a chance to see most of the park..

Ivan Sanchez

A fine place for kids below 8 years of age, mostly because the rides are geared toward that height range.

Shayna Earl

Water Oasis in Gilroy gardens was fun for everyone and kept the kids busy for hours!

Lisa Ruiz

Great place for little kids...season pass is the price of a single admission. Definitely worth it!

Eddie Vergara

Clean, attentive ride personnel. The vegetation is beautiful and well maintained... walking around the park feels like doing a nature trail! Rides are just the right type for our 4-going-on-preteen daughter. Should she graduate from these rides, we'll just be ready to hop on over to Great America (G.A. gold season passes offer unlimited entrances for both G.A. and G.G.)

Bird Knee

Nice and shady not too crowded and the kids loved the water park! There is rides for both big and little kids so my 2.5 year old had a great time riding things his size

Great for kids. I have 3 kids under 8, they all love it and have a great time. We have the premium season pass for my wife, me, and the oldest. Best way to enjoy the park.

A small park that’s perfect for little kids and adults. Definitely recommend going! There isn’t super long lines for rides and kids are enjoying their time and aren’t overwhelmed by the park!

Gilroy gardens is great for small children! Plenty of rides for one year olds. A lot of space for running. Jungle gyms, waterfalls, train rides and more!

Hot very hot need more cooling stations and water should be free

Kerry Hunter

Love it here! Great for 2-10 year old but any age will enjoy. So many children rides. The water area is great in the hotter months. Loads of shade all round the park so not to hot even in the middle of summer. Loads of shaded picnic spots. You can get away with taking in a picnic as long as its all packed in your own boxes and bags, don't take unopened boxes or bags of food or snacks. The colder evenings of Halloween and Christmas are great too. This place just has a great atmosphere.

My little family loves it! My toddlers had so much fun in the water/splash areas. It’s shaded throughout. Super clean and nice, lots of rides for young children! I wish we lived closer not 2 hours away we’d be there more often.

Daughter loves it. We try to go a couple times a year. Word to the wise, but the fast pass! Do it! You slip through all the lines and everybody looks at you cross eyed, but can't do anything about it. Honestly, the rides aren't really worth the long wait in line. Spend the extra money and cut in front of everybody.

Jennifer Costa

Best family theme park in the area absolutely love it

Brenda Wiley

Great family park for kids 10 and under!

I loved this cute little theme park. Tons of shade, plenty of benches. It was a very relaxed vibe, we did plenty of stuff but didn't feel overly exhausted by the end of the day. The weather was amazing as well, not too hot, I really enjoyed our visit and all my kids had things they could do and rides to ride.
