One of the most extraordinary Paramount parks that you've probably never heard of unless you live nearby is the Gilroy Gardens. This California theme park features a huge collection of the unusual and fanciful Circus Trees, which are sycamores that have been raised to have special designs and shapes in their trunks. The California theme park also features exhibits that can't be found anywhere else and a series of majestic gardens that gave the park its name.



Most people think of rides when they think of a California theme park, and with rides like the ?Quicksilver Express? mine coaster themed after a local abandoned mine, this park is no different. This California theme park offers more than 40 rides, gardens and exhibits. Other rides include the South County Backroads and Gilroy Gardens? very own railroad. But unlike other theme parks in California, this park offers exhibits such as their collection of world famous Circus Trees, a rock maze, the Learning Sheds and six majestic gardens.

There are no other theme parks in California that feature gardens like the Monarch Garden, which resides in a greenhouse that is so large a train, monorail and a river are able to run right through it. Guests at this California theme park are able to take a boat ride through all six of their gardens which all have their own unique seasonal color. And since Paramount parks are always accommodating of guests with disabilities, they have designed special attraction entry procedures to safely help guests with disabilities enjoy their park visit. There is truly something for everyone here.

When you think of a California theme park your mind might automatically think of another famous park further south, but there is no place in the world quite like Gilroy Gardens. It is a truly unique experience for the whole family.
