What an awesome family park tucked away from the busy streets! It has a huge field with a paved…read morewalkway around it for runners, bikers, roller skaters :) There are two play areas targeted for different age groups. It's even good for 1 year olds! The equipment is new and fun! There are climb on figures like bears and turtles. There's bark and foam/rubber ground, but no sand. While my kids are sand ADDICTS, they don't mind not having sand at this park because it's so fun. The playground is significantly shaded by overhead shades as well as trees. It's very well maintained. There's a drinking fountain, but no bathrooms. Very well lit at night. It has tables and benches with overhead awning that can be reserved for parties. There's half a basketball court. There's really something for everyone. Bring your dogs, bring the family, and have fun!

Muesum staff was flippant and extremely rude when we attempted to enter with our disabled pug being carried in a backpack. It was over 100 degrees outside, no way we could leave her in the car. Park is covered in goose poop and the pond is a toilet bowl. Facilities were a disgrace. Totally not worth 6$, will not be back!

No food, no drinks, no problem just leave them at the counter before you enter. The buildings were nice and air conditioned, so we stayed for awhile comfortably. The park was clean, and the geese were pretty aggressive, so if you bring your own picnic food, make sure you don't look away for too long!

I frequently visit Riverway Sports park to use their splash pad in the summer. Well to my kids…read moredisappointment it was closed for maintenance so I called Visalia Parks & Rec & asked if their was any other splash pads in the city. They told me this spot was open which I wasn't even aware existed. It is right next to CSET & in front of the Visalia Substation. Well my kids had a great time cooling off. This splash pad is smaller than the one at Riverway but their fountains spray water higher. The only negative that may be uncomfortable for others is that their is a large transient community in the area but they are friendly just trying to stay cool in this valley heat like the rest of us. With that being the area was surprising clean. Can't wait to take them back.

My family came here to visit not knowing what to expect. It was a great experience learning how Forestiere built these tunnels so intentionally and with innovation. The guided tour is about 60 minutes and includes a lot of walking with some stairs, so be prepared with comfy shoes. However, there's also benches in the tunnels if you need a quick seat. The tour ends in the grand ballroom which connects to the gift shop. There you can find citrus sorbet made from the fruits of this garden. I had to give that a taste and it was sweet and zesty. I went home with some postcards to send to friends too. This place is also California State National Landmark No. 916! You must add it to your bucket list of adventures.
