We took our 2 1/2 year old daughter today and she LOVED it! This is the most toddler friendly amusement park that I have ever been to. She was able to ride on most rides and her favorites were the Rainbow Garden float boats and the 1920's cars. She also really enjoyed the big carousel. The weather was perfect today,... more

We live within driving distance to Gilroy Gardens (aka Bonfante) and it is one of our favorite things to do in the summer. VERY family friendly, perfect for young kids. Clean, tons of rides for little ones and bathrooms everywhere! My youngest is 3 and she can go on some rides by herself and just loves it. I think kids... more

Tucked away in the hills of Gilroy is the most delightful treasure of a theme park.Lush landscapes and plenty of shade make this park great on hotter days. Best of all, no teenagers lurking around. Perfect for kids 13 and under. Lots to do. more

It was awesome to visit this park with young family. My daughter was 2 year old and could get on ~5 rides. She was under potty-training. There are bathrooms every 15 min walk which is a great plus. more

This park is awesome and we had great time. Although my daughter is 2 year-old, she could get on a few rides. She is under potty train and there are bathrooms every 15 min walk which is a big plus to us. more

Probably the last time we go as a family, as the kids are getting too old. But if you have kids under 10, this park is worth it. Since we’ve been going ownership has changed hands 3 times, but the rides and park stays the same. Geared for toddlers, the park also shows of some pretty impressive botanical sights. Bring... more

This was a second visit, we had gone two years earlier( when it was called 'Bonfante Gardens', the place is completely the same) my kids wanted to go back and were not disappointed the second time around, again we stayed from opening to closing time. It's great for younger kids, toddlers to 9/10 years old. The fruit and veggie rides... more

We have limited time in the San Francisco Bay area - but decided since we were all sick and the kids (ages 2 & 4) needed to have some fun - we would spend a day at Gilroy Gardens. Since it was a Halloween weekend - they had a little Treasure Hunt which was fun for the kids - and... more

We loved Gilroy Gardens! It was just the perfect place to take our 2 yr old! We had never been, and with gas prices so high, I was really worried it would not be worth our 3 hour drive to get there. Boy was I SO HAPPY we made the trip! Our 2 yr old was able to ride on... more

Went with family of 4 on May 31st. My kids absolutely loved the place. Most of the reviews on this place are spot on. Just a few observations on my part. Pros: -It is so uncrowded that we waited 10mins at most for the rides. Most rides we just jumped right on and with a 2yr old that is a... more
