A huge shoutout to Fresno Chaffee Zoo!…read more One of Fresno's most special places and an incredible part of our Central Valley community. We've had the opportunity to work with the zoo professionally, and one thing that stands out is the dedication and friendliness of the people who help keep everything running. From the wildlife exhibits to the work that goes into maintaining such a beautiful property, there's so much to appreciate! It's wonderful seeing a place where families can spend time together, learn about wildlife, and make lasting memories. Thank you to the Fresno Chaffee Zoo team for everything you do for our community!

Recommend being here in colder weather. One of the best places in the city. Cheap to enter. Parking is easy. It's a small location so it is really easy to navigate. Soooyyyyy Dora!!!! Just don't bring Dora here. Maybe Dorathy.

Shoutout to Kelsey, our awesome tour guide. She walked us through the Forestiere's underground…read moregarden and spoke proudly about its history. 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.

My husband had been here many years ago and he's been suggesting we go. Over the years he's…read morementioned it but we never got around to it until yesterday since we were close to the area, looking for something to do with our kiddos and the weather was surprisingly AMAZING especially it being the end of June. It's Sunday we arrived at 2pm, parking is free as well as admission! My husband asked if I had quarters he said he remembered you can buy the fish food with quarters! To our surprise the feed was free! It was in a closed wooden container. They have signage of asking people to only take a handful as a courtesy to others. There's also other signs that say to not touch the water or fishes and not to feed the little fishes. My family and I had a great time the kids LOVED seeing the fish eat as they fed them and quite relaxing watching them swim. We were there for about 30mins. They had a Hatchery Building and it showed the baby fishes. They have educational boards you can read about the fishes and habitat. Restrooms open but the women's sink wasn't working at that time and no soap. Overall for a free experience it was great! Will recommend and would come back!

Visited Storyland for the first time in a couple years (we live in MN). They have made some MAJOR…read moreimprovements to it since then, a huge thanks to "Measure P" for that. I used to come as a child, and this place has come a long ways since then. There are a dozen or more little exhibits of childhood nursery rhymes (such as Little Red Riding Hood and Jack and Jill), each has a box you can put a key in (mine from my childhood still worked) and hear the story in English or Spanish. All of the boxes we tried worked. Some of the exhibits are just things you look at, some include things like slides or other things for kids to play on. There's also a castle and a pirate ship (one of the new exhibits). There's a train, which costs extra and is ok, but they need to clean up the area it goes through, it could be a lot nicer. There's also a small snack bar. All in all, this is a really great place to bring kids under about 7. It was not busy at all the day we were there, which surprised me because our kids had so much fun!

The firefighters came and let us out! How does this even happen?! There was absolutely no one there making sure everyone was out. I saw an employee locking everything at about 3:45 pm and thought that was a little odd considering they didn't close until 4. Horrible experience and a rip off! Definitely not worth as much as they charge!

Cost is $10 per person; under 2 or 3 is free I believe. You can also purchase feed baskets to feed the animals. On the day we went they were having a holiday event with Santa and Mrs. Claus and the Grinch , and decorated with Christmas decor- cute. Taking pictures with all the characters was on top of our list. The animals were out and about; our kids loved seeing the animals up close. They have a private parking lot and there is also street parking available. This is a nice place to take the family without the extensive crowds.

It was very easy for a very young child to walk around the whole area, no stroller needed. There were lots of animals to see, feed and pet. My only concern is that camel is in an extremely small space as is the longhorn cow. Some goats and llamas have no shade or shelter during the day. I did not see anybody being unkind to the pets, but there was not enough staff to patrol the people and keep the animals safe. Some of the animals backed away when I tried to pet them, even though I was being gentle. I hope they have alternative space and shelter to the ones I saw.

They seemed ok so we migrated so my dogs could play with other dogs. Their dogs were mean. Scared my dogs and went right after them. We went to the other side away from them and they kept a distance. Then tried to leave and one ran up to me and bit me. Broke skin so I went to the disgusting restrooms and cleaned it then had to ask the owner if that dog had shots. He said yes but I'm doubtful. It's a nice dog park but too bad you can't use it safely. Also many owners clearly don't pick up after their dogs inside which is also unfortunate. A hard pass next time we go through Fresno for a dog park stop.
