Even though Water Oasis is getting bigger, the park’s prices are not. Gilroy Gardens Value Memberships are still available at the season-lowest price of $48 for both children and adults—but this special offer ends on July 4, 2018. For even bigger benefits, members can upgrade to a Premium card, which includes unlimited daytime admission, free parking, early access to the Water Oasis, and admission to the special night-time events: Halloween at Night (September 21- October 28) and Holiday at Night (November 30 – December 31). Gilroy Gardens Family Theme Park is open daily through August 13, and on weekends and select weekdays and evenings through December 31.
