Gilroy Gardens Family Theme Park is a truly unique place to visit—and makes for a great story!

Originally created by park founder Michael Bonfante to share his love of trees, this magical wonderland includes 28 acres with more than 10,000 trees, six themed gardens, and over 40 family-friendly rides and attractions that were inspired by local history and agriculture.

We welcome inquiries and visits from credentialed members of the news media for the production of high-quality news features and programs about our park.
