About this experience
Nestled in the Santa Cruz Mountains, Filoli is set in 16 acres of formal gardens surrounded by a 654-acre estate. Also known as the Bourn-Roth Estate, it is considered one of the finest remaining country estates of the 20th century. Stroll through the English Renaissance-style garden, featuring lush flower beds, yew-lined avenues, and a Sunken Garden and hike through the lush and varied natural communities of the estate.

Frequently asked questions
Do I need to print my ticket?
No. A mobile ticket on your phone is accepted at the admissions desk.
How much time should I allow for a visit?
Most visitors spend two to four hours, depending on whether they walk the Estate Trail and stay for one of the daily talks.
Are children admitted free?
Yes — children under 5 years old enter at no charge.
Can I bring food and eat in the gardens?
Outside food is permitted only at the designated picnic area near the Main Parking Lot, not in the formal gardens.
What are the daily talks about, and do I need to book?
Fifteen-minute talks run at 12:00 PM and 2:00 PM; topics vary by day and season. No separate booking is required — they are included with admission.
Is the estate accessible for visitors with mobility needs?
Parts of the gardens and house are accessible, though the natural Estate Trail involves uneven terrain. Contact Filoli directly before your visit if you have specific requirements.
