There is a place not far from here where exists a mystical wonderland nestled in the heart of a beautiful forest. It is Gilroy Gardens, and you needn’t climb down a magic rabbit hole to find it.

There are no scares and dares at Gilroy Gardens, just joy and delight- because the fun is just big enough for little kids. Here, the butterflies race along with trains around trees that grow sideways, and where the trees are still taller than the rides. There are waterfalls and rock gardens and bridges and shows and circus trees and vegetables you can ride. It is where nature, imagination and your family all grow together.
