Top Things To Do with Families
Nature Playspace
This immersive and creative environment inspires curiosity, hands-on exploration, and fun in a natural, sustainable setting. Designed for children to engage in imaginative play, this area includes a loose parts play space, a pretend play area, and a winding pathway with tunnels, logs, and maze-like features to explore.
Nature Playspace is sponsored by US Bank Private Wealth Management.
Trails
Explore the wonders of our Natural Lands with hiking trails. Filoli currently has two hiking trails: The one-mile California Trail which winds along cultivated fields and through oak woodlands and the Spring Creek Trail which takes visitors on a half-mile loop along a scenic creek bed running through redwood understory.
