Gilroy Gardens group tours

For 25 years, millions of children and their families have loved discovering the majestic gardens, unique rides, water attractions and over 10,000 trees at Gilroy Gardens Family Theme Park.

Gilroy Gardens was created and built by Michael Bonfante, a man who always loved trees—especially BIG ones. He dreamed of creating a park that would inspire young people to appreciate the beauty of trees. In 1985, he learned about the ailing "Circus Trees" in nearby Scotts Valley and engineered a rescue operation to dig them up and transplant them at his park grounds in Gilroy.


A trip to Gilroy Gardens provides students with a rare opportunity to learn about nature, horticulture, and sustainability in an immersive and fun environment.

School groups can participate in educational programs focused on plant science, ecosystems, and conservation while exploring the park’s lush gardens and interactive exhibits. The iconic Circus Trees offer a fascinating look at art and science in nature, inspiring curiosity and creativity. Additionally, students enjoy thrilling rides and attractions that promote teamwork and excitement. Gilroy Gardens combines hands-on learning with adventure, making it an ideal destination for student travel and an unforgettable field trip experience.
