They have carnival like rides for the littles, a little train ride and a snack bar. The staff was very nice, the place was clean and well kept. They have a unlimited wristband for $10 dollars or tickets are .50 cents each and each ride is 1 ticket. Very affordable. There is a little zoo next door, and a large park as well, with lots of shade. I am so glad we found this little place, our grandsons had a great time and we will be coming here again very soon!

Arcades are a dying industry, many people play their video games online or through home consoles…read morenow, so much in fact that the classic standalone unit is going extinct very quickly. It's nice to see a place like this in full operation still after so many years, the games remain hands on and players have to work towards an actual physical prize. The game inventory here isn't too bad, they have a few "new" release titles with many being slightly older, but still popular like Time Crisis and Initial D Racing. I wish the games still accepted coins to play and payed out prizes in paper tickets, but their pre-loaded cards are more current with the times and cause less clutter.

We had to figure it out on our own. Started with the start. We went to the back the back and weren't told that you start from the front end where the arcade is. The back is more towards the end of the game. FYI. From there it was on! Set up "spooky." I think it's just cute. A lot of things going off here and there. It's definitely something different and a fun little set up. They have little spinners you can do to make the game more fun and interesting also. You can play as many times as you want. Just go get another ball and they react to the black light. Easy to find. Pretty cool. Just s cute little set up. Definitely not as fun as it got busier. The second round it got very busy. We skipped through. The first round was good. Before it really picked up. Good service, like I said, wish there was more direction, but it worked out.

Many memories here from childhood. I loved having my birthday parties here growing up and overall,…read moreI have a deep appreciation for the establishment, but I believe several areas could benefit from updates. Blackbeards definitely needs a facelift and general renovations, specifically regarding the arcade and food offerings. I also found the $35 wristband price to be high given the current selection of available attractions. While the miniature golf course remains in good condition, it is disappointing that the water slides are no longer operational. The pool area still looks sparkling clean and well-maintained, yet it remains inaccessible to guests. I discussed this with the workers and they stated that there are no plans to reopen the slides. If so, I suggest utilizing that space for something new to better serve their visitors. Blackbeards has a great deal of potential, and I look forward to seeing the improvements that could take place in the coming years.

Cabana rentals are for all day!

Gilroy Gardens is a hidden gem. It is tucked far away from the freeways and there is nothing around…read moreit, not even shopping centers, hotels or even a gas station. Admission is quite steep but if you have a Great America gold pass, you can enter the park for free. Parking is $25 and up. Just as the name suggests, Gilroy Gardens is filled with beautiful gardens in every corner. You'll find the prettiest flowers, super tall trees, bamboo, a variety of plants, and so much more landscaping all around. And of course, there are the fun rides! I have gone to Gilroy Gardens a few times now and I enjoy the roller coasters, the ferris wheel, the train, and the paddle boat. However, the paddle boat moves painfully slow. A short line could be deceiving. It can take 1 hour or more. I wished they added more boats or make the process more efficient. The food at the park is delish! Head over to the grill restaurant near the water park for freshly grilled corn, chicken skewers and corn in a cup. I love the churros here more than at Great America. The churros are perfectly soft on the inside and lightly crispy on the outside. And you can't be hanging out in Gilroy without having some Gilroy garlic fries! The garlic fries right by the paddle boats is so good! The fries are crispy and are not soggy at all. If you ever want to enjoy a relaxing day on a train, lake, boat, eating delicious foods and snacks, I highly recommend Gilroy Gardens!

I would recommend going as soon as…read morethe park opens which is 11am or even like 30min before because the line does get long to park and as well as the line to get inside! Park closes at 6pm, extended summer hours is 7pm. We went on a Tuesday and Tuesdays are the days they offer their deals. It's buy one get one free basically for $49.99 which I think it's a fair price since individual tickets are from I believe $30-$40. Parking is $5 and if you want to park upfront it's $10. We waited in line for almost an hour to get inside so be mindful if you have a lot of things to carry. Bring a cooler with wheels and a wagon! If you also have a baby stroller that is also allowed inside. The only thing they won't allow you to bring inside is anything glass, alcohol or knives so please precut your fruits and sandwiches beforehand. They do check coolers and bags upfront. We bought Costco pizzas, made pasta salad, charcuterie boards and other knick knack snacks for the kids as well to give you guys ideas on what to bring! Most of the time everyone's gonna be out swimming and on rides and not paying attention on eating lol If you have kids, please take them I recommend and apply sunscreen at all times!

I didn't think it was worth getting tbh. Went on a few slides felt like a kid again. Me and my son enjoyed the wave until the "accidents" were happening in there so they had to clear the crowd a few times to I guess shock the pool. I hope there's plenty of chlorine to kill all the germs because I always think of water parks as a big toilet/bath house lol

I would rate a 10 star if I could but this app only lets me do 5 stars. And after the tour you can buy your photo with them at the gift shop for you and your group which is super awesome. I know on you tube theirs a few videos that show the expedition tour but I myself can't even fit in those tight spaces let alone deal with the claustrophobia and fear of heights this was a good and safe tour for me. Thank you guys for providing this! Also heads up for anyone planning on going to spiral tour the stairs is a long way up and a long way down make sure to have a camera strap for your cameras or phones so you do not drop it or lose it. Thanks to all the tour guides and staff! Great job!

We spent the afternoon swimming and having fun at the water park before heading back to our room. For lunch, we grabbed burgers at Bucket Burgers. It was a little pricey, but honestly, that's kind of expected when you're eating on-site. We booked the Grizzly Room and were pleasantly surprised by how much space we had. It had TWO full bathrooms, which was such a huge plus for our family! Everything was clean and nicely maintained.
