Gilroy Gardens

Gilroy Gardens Family Theme Park is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit corporation and California's only horticultural theme park. Founded by Michael Bonfante, the park offers a unique family experience centered around trees and plants with an emphasis on local history. The park's mission is to offer safe, clean, family entertainment in natural landscapes while educating guests on the importance of horticulture, agriculture, and local history. The park features over 40 rides and attractions and more than 10,000 trees, including the world-famous Circus Trees. For more information, visit www.gilroygardens.org.

You asked for bigger slides…you got ‘em!

Due to popular demand, the Water Oasis play area at Gilroy Gardens has more than DOUBLED in size for the 2018 season, with bigger slides for bigger kids—and more super splashy fun for everyone (including moms and dads)!

At the new Water Oasis expansion, you can zoom down three big new twisty water slides and a fourth straight slide with a combined length of 384 feet (that’s longer than a football field!) and get drenched under a giant tipping bucket that splashes over 300 gallons of water (more than enough to fill 4 bathtubs!). Kids of all ages will have a blast (literally) playing with over 90 new water jets and play features. And as for you grownups? You’re welcome to join in all the wet and wild fun—or just kick back and relax in six colorful and comfy new cabanas.

Even though Water Oasis is getting bigger, the park’s prices are not. Gilroy Gardens Value Memberships are still available at the season-lowest price of $48 for both children and adults. For even bigger benefits, members can upgrade to a Premium card, which includes unlimited daytime admission, free parking, early access to Water Oasis, and admission to the special night-time events Halloween at Night (September 21- October 28) and Holiday at Night (November 30 – December 31).

In May, Gilroy Gardens Family Theme Park is open on Fridays (11am-5pm) and Saturdays and Sundays (10am-6pm). The park is also open on Memorial Day (Monday, May 28) from 10am to 6pm. Starting June 1, the park will be open daily through August 13. For a complete season calendar and additional information, visit www.gilroygardens.org.
