    My 3 adult sons and I were visiting Monterey for the day and decided to do the Mirror Maze. At first the boys were rolling their eyes thinking it's for kids only but once they stepped inside that all changed....nothing but laughs and smiles lol. We had so much fun we decided to keep going...with and without the glasses. Great spot for all ages!!

    Took our 12yo girls to aquarium of course and was looking for another Quick activity for them to do. Located on the walkway near the Sugar Candy store. Prices were$$ Paid entrance gets you unlimited times in maze. First time, it took the girls less than a 10 minutes or to complete and then afterwards they wanted us to time them to get through. They seemed to enjoy it. I'm glad I didn't go inside as it did seem like a very small maze.

    We stopped into this place after the aquarium and it was so much fun! I've never been in a maze like this and the lights, music, and overall ambience made this a really special experience. What a cool little place to have on that strip of Monterey.

    My kids made it to #5! They were so proud :)

    We had a blast! Not cheap, but the kids had so much fun in the mirror maze and laser maze. It was a unique and fun experience. It was clean and not overly crowded. The manager was friendly and professional. My kids want to go back every day we are in town.

    Here for the kids Spring Break and we're so happy we made a stop here. The kids had a blast and they kept going through it over and over again to see if they can get a faster time. :p The owner was very nice and he made sure everyone was having a good time. They even got to try out the laser maze which had new carpets and was really cool to see them on the screen outside. A cool feature is you can have the video of them sent to you by email. Will be coming back! Lots of family memories :)

    We came in one night just for fun and had an AMAZING time!!! After going through the maze (once to get a feel and a second time with kaleidoscope glasses), we decided on some friendly girls vs boys competition in the lazer maze. Let's just say we had to rematch because the girls knocked it out of the park. Super fun experience!

    I've been here a few times for the mirror maze and the arcade but this time my girlfriend got to come with me so we got the unlimited wristbands. The laser challenge was probably the best of the three attractions that come with the wristband, although it is the one thing that isn't "unlimited" on the wristband (which makes sense from a business view, gotta make that moolah somehow!). I hit second place on the leaderboard for the expert laser challenge at 51.4 seconds! It was alot of fun! Hoping to go again soon!

    Define Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk - a destination that never disappoints. I have been coming here…read moresince a kid. Now I return with my thrill seeking, adventurous lil one who enjoys the beach, food and rides. For frequent visits, the season pass is the best option - it pays for itself in two visits. Get the season pass during the holidays, save yourself a few extra dollars off. The beach, sand / water play, and just existing are a few things you can do. Sea lions are nearby, birds flying over head, waves coming ashore for everyone to enjoy. Seashells are everywhere to find. Bring a blanket to lay on, the sand can hurt after a while and get pretty hot during warmer months. A sun umbrella for shade is ideal along with snacks to have nearby for easy access. The boardwalk rides are diverse in age, size and thrill seeker levels. Our daughter has outgrown the smallest of rides, there are others she continues to enjoy while gaining height to now ride others she could not previously. There are numerous rides our daughter - now 6, first time visiting 4 years old, could enjoy. The boardwalk can get pretty packed and hectic, so arrive early for parking and go to your favorite rides first. There is plenty of parking surrounding the boardwalk, you have to walk further for some than others. There is metered street parking and parking lots. There are lots of photo op locations throughout the boardwalk and beach to record memories. Food is diverse, ICEEs and fountain drinks can be made refillable for a small additional fee, there are lots of stands throughout including clothes, souvenir, bubble wands, blankets and treats. The arcade area is a spacious, multi tier experience featuring mini golf, arcade games, air hockey, and food vending machines. This is one location you are guaranteed to locate a restroom usually with minimal lines in comparison to the boardwalk. The stalls are well maintained as well. A boardwalk card can be purchased then reloaded to play, just remember it on each visit or have a pile like I do. Miniature golf is purchased in person. Make a week, weekend or day out of your visit - we do!

    We had a great day here, but you definitely have to go in with a plan. If you're doing more than…read more3-4 rides, the all-day wristband is the only way to go, as individual points add up fast. It's a mix of a beach day and a carnival feel here - You can jump from the sand to a roller coaster in thirty seconds. As for the food, it's fairly standard prices. The garlic fries are a solid bet, but there are also great spots just a short walk away on the wharf if you want a "real" seafood meal. Parking: Get there early. The main lots fill up by noon, and street parking is a game of luck. You can't beat the atmosphere. The ocean breeze, the sound of the arcade, and the smell of kettle corn make this one of the best spots in NorCal. It's nostalgic without feeling dated. Whether you're here for the rides or just the boardwalk walk. Not I need to go home and put on The Lost Boys movie and watch it again!!

A really lovely place to spend the day. We are season pass holders and the money is used to preserve the park. They offer themed events during the entire year.

    For years, based on the promotional photos I saw, I avoided the Gilroy Gardens (GG) family theme…read morepark. I thought it would be tacky and hyper-commercialized. Curiosity, together with my wife's desire to see the place, finally got the better of me--and I discovered that I had been wrong. GG in my opinion manages to strike the best balance that any such theme park probably can in terms of appealing to the masses while at the same time avoiding the trap of being tacky or hyper-commercialized. The varied rides and exhibits are pleasant and well-maintained. Some are even quite artistic (like the totem poles, illustrated in the image attached here) and educational (like the ecologically oriented Green Barn). If you're already familiar with GG, you don't need me to tell you about it. If you're not, here are a few tips--which might not be obvious to the uninitiated--that might help you better enjoy it: * The lines for the rides can be very long at times. You might end up waiting for an hour before it's your turn. Best to be prepared for that and plan it into your itinerary. * We noticed a small number of people who avoided the lines for all rides, being let in through the back gate/exit. When we asked about this at the Welcome Center, we learned that GG sells yellow wristbands that allow people to skip the long lines and enter through the "back door" (exit). They cost something like $85 per person for the year or about $30 per visit, in addition to the membership fee. * Even with those wristbands, you'll need more than one visit to see and do everything here. Rushing around a lot will spoil the fun. * The food everywhere, as far as we could tell, is pretty bad. You'll be ahead of the game if you pack your own, which will also avoid your waiting in another line. * The big secret, so to speak, of GG is "hidden" in plain sight--in the second word of the name itself, "Gardens." Most visitors are so preoccupied with going on the rides that they miss out on the natural beauty of the gardens. We found Camellia Garden and Claudia's Garden, in particular, to be like sheltered oases of calm and natural beauty within the hustle and bustle of the park. In our opinion, the three most obvious ways in which GG could be improved are as follows: 1. Improve the quality of the food that's offered. With all the traffic the park gets, those concession stands must be worth a small fortune. Either get them to do better or replace them with businesses that will. 2. Design a more user-friendly map. Those who already know their way around don't need a map but for those who don't, the existing map is not sufficiently clear (hint: it probably needs to be larger). 3. Do a better job of training the staff, in terms of both knowledgeability and attitude. Some are quite good (a special shout out to Nina at the Welcome Center and Sean at the Garlic Twirl ride: they exuded both warmth and professionalism) but others, who shall remain nameless, need more training. Minus one star for those deficiencies, as well as for not making it sufficiently clear at the time of the 2026 premium membership purchase that the bring-a-friend tickets that came with the membership had to be picked up almost immediately or they would not be available.

The zoo is smaller than some of the larger Bay Area zoos, but it's easy to navigate and perfect for families with young kids. My only complaint is the cafe food- it was honestly some of the saddest zoo food I've had. Definitely eat before you come or pack snacks if you can. Overall, it's a great place to spend a few hours with little ones, and we'll definitely be back.
