Q&A

Q: Is there an age limit for kids at Filoli? Planning to take my 5-year-old.

A: There’s no specific age limit for kids, and Filoli is super family-friendly! Your 5-year-old will love exploring the gardens and nature trails. Just keep an eye on them near the mansion since it’s a historic site. It's a great place for kids to discover nature and enjoy some space to run around.

Q: What should I wear for a day at Filoli? Is it mostly walking?

A: I’d recommend wearing comfortable shoes since there’s a lot of walking, especially in the gardens and nature trails. Layers are a good idea too, as it can get cool near the mansion and warmer out in the garden. A hat and sunscreen are also must-haves for sunny days!

Q: What happens if it rains? Can we reschedule our visit?

A: If it rains, you can definitely reschedule your visit! Just make sure to call their customer service or check their website for options. The gardens are beautiful but not as enjoyable in the rain, so it’s good to have a backup day planned.

Just visited Filoli and it was magical!

I took my family to Filoli last weekend, and wow, the gardens are more beautiful in person than in pictures! The giant troll was such a hit with the kids. We spent hours exploring! I also enjoyed a Garden Pop™, which was refreshing and delicious. Totally recommend this for families looking for a fun day out!

Thinking of gifting a Filoli experience, any tips?

I’m considering giving my parents a trip to Filoli for their anniversary. They love nature and history! I’ve heard the mansion is stunning, and I believe there’s a pop-up bar too. Do you think it’s a good gift? Any tips for making it special?
