Explorer1.com Review - Excellent family oriented theme park -- especially for families with younger children. The rides are pretty tame and there are lots of activities gear toward the little ones.
Although the food at the park seems to be better than most theme parks, most families opt to bring their own snacks and drinks. It's healthier and a lot more cost effective.
Gilroy can be extremely hot in the summer, so make sure to take plenty of water and sun screen!

Whale Watching – Central Coast Santa Cruz, Monterey, Half Moon Bay
Gray Whales – 20,000 Gray Whales pass by the Central Coast two times every year. During December through mid February, the whales migrate south from the arctic waters off the coast of Alaska to their winter birthing grounds off of the Baja Peninsula. Then from mid February through April, they return to the arctic waters to feed. Peak viewing times are usually mid January and mid March. More background on the Gray Whale >>
Humpback Whales – Spending the winter months off of the Mexican Coast to breed and give birth, the Humpback Whales migrate north to polar waters to feed during the summer months. Humpback Whales are most common off the Central Coast from April through November. More background on the Humpback >>
