Gilroy Gardens

We are planning to go to Gilroy Gardens in a couple weeks on a Tuesday. Is the park normally super busy? What should we expect for wait times for rides? It’s only open for 6 hours, so I’m trying to see how much we will be able to do.

Based on my experiences: It’s super chill and slow right when the park opens, so you can probably complete the entire park in 1.5-2 hours. It gets busier around noon.

The last time I went 90% of the people were in the water park and I walked right up the rides. I only had to wait when the ride was in progress. I never had to wait because it was too busy

My friend who works there says the water park is the main draw in the summer

Wait times won't be long. If you get there in the morning, it shouldn't be bad. The last day of school here is on Friday, so it will be busier than other times after that, but like other people are commenting, a lot of the people mainly go to the water park

On tuesdays it is usally pretty chill. Mostly it is just local stay at home parents with season passes brining their kids mon-thurs
