Gilroy Gardens
August 4, 2008
If you're looking to chill, Gilroy Gardens has a few rides that allow you to just sit back, relax, and soak up the scenery. There's a train ride that travels around the park, and a swan boat ride that glides over the park's Coyote Lake.

And then there's the most manly-man ride ever created: the Rainbow Garden Boats.

They look like Barbie accessories, don't they?

I mean, seriously, you gotta love these things.
It's a very sedate excursion through some colorful gardens, really quite pleasant.

And you get a nice view of the Mushroom Swing ride, too.

The other ride that takes you through a garden is the "u-drive-em" South Country Backroads car ride. There's a 1920's themed route and a 1950's themed route.
