Gilroy Gardens

Another weekend, another theme park! This time, we went to Gilroy Gardens which, as you might have guessed, is in Gilroy. It was actually a very nice experience. The park was nicely maintained, well-staffed, and it wasn’t crowded so we could actually maneuver our caravan of kids around without the stress of losing one amongst the throngs of families.

The only complaint really is that some of the lines, though short, were slow. Just a function of one-off, one-on setups. But otherwise, we all had a good time as the park was very age appropriate for our girls.

Here are some pics:

It was actually super cheesy and the production values were not exactly Disney caliber, but the kids seemed to enjoy it.
