We spent about 3 or so hours playing & exploring. It's really meant for younger ages,probably up until about 10-11. My son is going to be 11 next week & loved it because he loves dinosaurs, digging & science. Not sure i would go out of my way to go back, only because we don't live locally but if we lived in fresno I would consider getting a membership. They have a lot of great programs throughout the week which would be great for school field trips or homeschooling co-ops.

As I was getting closer to the festivities, a friendly volunteer from Tagua waved at me and offered me a 20% off coupon. As soon as I peeked in the shop, I was sold!! Fair-trade, super unique, gorgeous items! Huge variety, too! I ended up spending over $200 on cards, a robe, coffee, a candle, ornaments, decals, and a few other treasures! I forgot the names of the ladies in the shop, but both were so friendly, knowledgeable and welcoming! I'm guessing: Elisha and Rhonda? Maybe? Whoever worked last Tuesday night: thank you!! I had so much fun in your store and I can't wait to return!!

This place is really cool with a lot of eclectic and unique gift items…read more I basically stumbled on this place on a Friday afternoon. I wanted inside and instantly enjoyed all of the little knickknacks and unique items that were spread throughout the store. I became immediately fascinated with the candles, gifts, and what look like small handmade items. The staff were absolutely wonderful, and the assistant manager was incredibly friendly and kind. This place is definitely worth a quick trip and possibly a place where you'll find some fun little gifts.

S T A F F: Cheerful, friendly, and very knowledgeable of the programs that are being offered at the BTB facility. The staff are very professional and also really down to earth too. S E R V I C E S: Aside from the archery program, I've yet to check out their other programs, but looking forward to checking out their aquatics program when the weather warms up a bit. Right now its about to be December...and its frigidly cold! E X P E R I E N C E: I recently joined the competitive Break the Barriers Archery Team. I used to shoot archery when I was able-bodied, yet I had to overcome some life-changing hurdles to relearn my beloved sport of archery after a freak occupational accident that caused severe vision loss. Through the coaching services at Break the Barriers, I was able to enjoy this sport again. Presently, I traverse my world using a guide cane while being supported by adaptive technology, four acute senses, and random gourmanding blunders. Overall, I have enjoyed the camaraderie that I've received from both my challenged athlete and able-bodied teammates. Everyone from the BTB archery program, staff and participants have been very respectful, supportive, and sometimes hilarious. It's nice to feel like I'm a part of something where "disability" divides us apart.

For simple home repairs, cleaning, or saving on decor for your business this is a great reuse…read moreresale store. Been coming here for years, the old employees were super polite and accommodating. Newer/younger staff is still helpful, their volunteers were also super kind in helping find items. They have a decent supply of items with regular sales and fair prices for often very new products. Save 30-50% on purchases comparable to places like Home Depot, but obviously they won't have everything at Habitat. They do get new stock of items pretty regularly. They used to do bundle deals, I haven't asked recently so not sure if prices/bundles are still negotiable. LOTS of paint and painting supplies, cleaning/sanitizing, some decor, hardware, rugs, furniture, etc. I've come in the past as a student for some scrap items which they kindly gave to me either discounted for super cheap or in a bundle. They accept donations under certain conditions depending on the item(s), unfortunately no store credit is offered for them. Would recommend coming here before your next project to save on HD prices!

This is a must stop on the art hop. It is not a traditional gallery but more of a Community center…read more I was greeted by the president, Scott on my way in and it was nice enough to introduce himself. The concept he explained to me is the following. Think of it as a gym membership but for art. You pay a monthly fee, come up with what you want to learn and bring your materials. There are great teachers to guide you and certify you at just about anything. They have a glass blowing, clay, woodwork and even a 3D printer. It was impressive that everyone we met there somehow chips in to help with the training of your art production of choice and once you are certified, you are able to use the machines with minimal supervision. A stellar idea and my wife will be checking out their classes soon
