Enjoy Good Old Family Fun At The Gilroy Gardens Water Oasis!

Children can grow incredibly fast. One minute you’re having a difficult time breaking free from their grasp, the next minute they are spreading mischief with their peers or glued to the TV or smart devices. As they grow older, parents have a difficult time finding suitable activities to bond over.

If you are looking for a vacation getaway that all members of your family, young and old, will surely appreciate, then Gilroy, CA should be on your shortlist. The city boasts of a pleasant climate, making it the ideal destination, whatever the season may be.

One of the top destinations in the city is the Gilroy Gardens, a non-profit educational institution which offers numerous educational opportunities for all members of the family.

One of the main attractions of the theme park is the Gilroy Gardens Water Oasis. This urban oasis boasts of five unique features.

The Bonfante Falls is an interactive natural water feature. The Bonfante’s Splash Garden, on the other hand, is a water play area where all family members can indulge. The Splash and Squirt area is designed specifically for the younger members of the family. The water oasis offers two types of boat rides: the Paddle Boats in Coyote Lake and the Rainbow Garden Round Boat Ride.

If you’d rather stay dry, why not visit the Gilroy Gardens Petting Zoo?

The petting zoo is open to the public only during weekends, from August 23 to September 28, and on Labor Day Monday, so make the necessary arrangements if you want to take your family here.

Petting zoos offer several benefits, especially for children. Instead of simply viewing animals on TV, your family can actually touch and interact with a menagerie of live animals. For young children, this is a good way to expand their learning beyond the walls of the classroom and ingrain in them the value of respecting all forms of life.

And after a long day of fun activities, whether at the petting zoo or at the water oasis, you’d want to rest your weary head at a comfortable place. Adjudged as the number one hotel in Gilroy, Best Western Plus Forest Park Inn is your home away from home.

Each of our warm and spacious rooms comes equipped with flat screen TVs with refrigerator, coffee maker and high speed Internet access. Guests get a complimentary hot breakfast and the morning’s newspaper. You can also request for added luxuries like whirlpools, fireplaces, potropedic mattresses, triple sheeting, down alternative comforter and sofa sleeper. We are also a 100% smoke-free hotel, and we welcome pets so you don’t have to let them miss out on all the family fun that you can have at Gilroy.

If you are staying at our hotel for an extended period of time, you do not have to miss out on work. We offer several business-friendly amenities including free local telephone calls, business desks and ergonomic swivel chairs.
