Gilroy Gardens Student Performance Travel

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.


Bonfante Gardens opened to the public on June 15, 2001 and was renamed Gilroy Gardens Family Theme Park in 2007. The park now features over 40 family rides and attractions nestled among more than 10,000 trees. More than just another amusement park, Gilroy Gardens remains a remarkable testament to one man’s vision and enduring passion for trees.

From Creekside Terrace and Picnic Grove to The Events Plaza, one of these venues will be perfect for your performing group. And once the performance is complete, choose from tons of thrill ride and attractions to enhance your day. Come for the rides, stay for the smiles! Gather the team for a spin inside a bright red strawberry, fly above the trees under a giant mushroom or speed around twists and turns on a mine coaster! Gilroy Gardens is a perfect setting for your performing ensemble.
