Afternoon Delight

Lush, dramatic, gardens, misty waterfalls, and cool thrill rides for all ages kept sparkling clean . . . what more could a family want? The staff is friendly, knowledgeable and courteous. The food is tasty and portions are ample. This is truly the best in family entertainment in or near the Silicon Valley. Best of all, this is a not-for-profit park operating under a 503C. Your entry ticket ultimately supports the community. The drought in wholesome, exciting and entertaining family fun is finally over!
- Pros: Beautiful, Clean, Food
