What families say

Families rave about driving the Avenue of the Giants and walking among the massive old-growth redwoods, with a self-guided tour making it easy to explore at your own pace—plans that can stretch from a few hours to several days depending on how much you want to see. It's a peaceful, awe-inspiring spot great for nature study and quiet reflection, and one reviewer's history note on Gold Rush-era logging could tie in nicely with lessons on the redwoods' past. No real complaints came up, though a couple of visitors mentioned the towering trees and quiet forest can feel a little eerie or overwhelming for some.
