Initially called Bonafante Gardens when it opened in 2000, the park is dedicated to horticulture – a horticulture theme park! With over 40 rides, attractions, educational exhibits, and fabulous gardens, the park aims to create a beautiful garden setting where youth can have fun and be educated about the importance of trees in our lives and the ecological interaction with nature, all in a family setting. RIDES: Some of the rides are the Garlic Twirl (surrounded by 100-year old olive trees), Paddle Boats (designed as ducks and swans), Artichoke Dip (which has a tree in its middle; the ride was built around this original tree), a carousel, and lots more.
