SANTA CRUZ BEACH BOARDWALK REVIEWS

The Santa Cruz Boardwalk on a weekend feels like a mini Disneyland by the ocean! The blend of classic amusement park vibes with stunning ocean views is unbeatable. You’ve got thrilling rides like the Giant Dipper roller coaster that keep your heart racing while you take in the beautiful coastline. The ocean-view thrillers are a real standout, giving you an adrenaline rush with a backdrop of the sparkling sea. From fun carnival games to delicious boardwalk treats, it’s a non-stop adventure for all ages. The atmosphere is lively, with a unique mix of nostalgia and excitement that makes it feel like a hidden gem. Whether you’re chasing thrills or just enjoying the view, this spot is perfect for a weekend escape!

Well maintained, family friendly and safe- a great place for fun. A landmark for almost a century this venue offers fun for the whole family. It is operated very well, including maintenance, security, staff training, variety of rides and activities and food offerings. It offers discount evenings, passes and group purchase options which can help reduce the cost of a visit. While not cheap, it offers so much more than a visiting carnival. The location is beautiful and on an iconic beach. I am very impressed by the training that seems to go into staffing, the uniforms and visible security. I highly recommend visiting this coastal gem.

What a super fun place to take the family to spend the day. The boardwalk was very clean and had lots of great attractions and food options. Unfortunately, the last portion of the boardwalk is closed off for the day, did not tell us why.

GILROY GARDENS FAMILY THEME PARK REVIEWS

Gilroy garden has become one of our usual favorite places to visit. There is lots of games for the whole family. Some days are busier than others, but when it’s not busy the lines are usually around 10 to less minutes. I tend to go Fridays because my premium card allows me to take in a friend for free. I think the membership is definitely worth it as long as you plan 3 to 4 visits a year and we usually do more. Specifically during the holidays when the park changes themes for Halloween and Christmas.

Worth your money! Go early to get the parking and do the rides more faster. If you go late to see the decorations you will have to wait for long lines. Kids friendly rides. There is a playground where kids like to play a lot. First Aid centers are also available. Book your parking ticket online for 20 dollars elsewhere you will be charged 25 dollars if you buy it at the location. Show the bar code once you have paid online parking ticket. It was really awesome!

We went for my kids spring break on opening day. It's such a great smaller amusement park with plenty of fun rides for everyone. We love the nature aspects of the park, how beautiful it is to walk around and the art building for kids crafts. We bought a membership last Halloween 2024 and so glad we invested in one. We're planning to visit a few more times this year.

CALIBUNGA WATERPARK SAN JOSE REVIEWS

Fantastic summer destination. Northern California’s largest waterpark, newly refreshed with thrilling slides like the Barracuda Blaster and a relaxing “endless river” for the whole family . The upgrades, including shaded cabanas, mobile food ordering, and lively dining options, really elevate the experience.

Best summer experience for a waterpark to have in San Jose! I'd plan to have a trip with friends and family to bring along as we splash in, even though summer is over, it was a wonderful time to have. Good slides, tasty foods, and spectacular thrills!

I loves new water park the CaliBunga in San Jose I live in Santa Cruz califroina cant wait for next year new water park.
