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.

This is a historical landmark and she walked me through every room with great detail on the origin story and the rooms we were in. One of the best tour guides I've had. I have never experienced anything this - you have to really appreciate the amount of work, design and detail by Baldassare Forestiere - truly a feat! Very grateful the family makes this available for tours. Highly recommend if you appreciate gardening, architecture, art, engineering etc. They also did a great job of reminding me of my appointment and following up afterwards.

The gardens were built in an unexpected park of Fresno and these is a lot of history behind them. Parking was somewhat difficult but once you enter, the staff were very kind, organized, and positive. Our tour guide Raul was super sweet and provided a lot of history regarding the gardens and the family who built them. Raul had my 3 young boys engaged and interested. He answered all my questions and was so open to conversation. You could tell Raul was proud to be there telling all of us how the Gardens came to be. The Gardens are very interesting. I've never seen anything quite like these. The smell of all the citrus trees combine with the natural cooling underground was amazing and made the tour comfortable. If you have any time i do recommend visiting these secret gardens.
