1 Review Chukchansi Park is home the the Pacific Coast Fresno Grizzlies baseball and Fresno Fuego minor league soccer teams. The stadium was originally city owned but is now sponsored by the Indian casino corporation of the same name that operates a gambling casino in the foothills between Fresno and...
1 Review The best place is the Tower district - Fresno's half mile of culture. Primarily populated by artists, bohemians, and people too poor to live in San Francisco; the Tower district's centerpiece its the Art Deco Tower Theater on the corner of Olive and Wishon Avenues. Don't be confused by the Water...
1 Review The Fresno Metropolitan Museum is a fine museum. It has a science center. It also has an excellent permanent collection on William Saroyan, Fresno native and famous writer. I thought that the Chinese Snuff Bottles permanent collection was pretty cool. When I went there, there was an exhibition on...

Huckleberry's: Huckleberry's- Mark Twain's IHOP (and Better)
emilypeg Says: Huckelberry's is a crazy blend of California meets Southern comfort food- and somehow it works! The interior of the restaurant gives you a Southern bayou feel even though you are in the middle of California.Open for breakfast and lunch, Huckelberry's offers an array of...
Wizard Pub: Wizard Pub classic rock
sennaya Says: The Wizard Pub is the only neighborhood bar specializing in classic rock. Original rock posters and memorabilia cover the walls reminiscient of the time when this spot was the Psychedelic Wizard and filled with tie-dyed t-shirts and Grateful Dead items.

elighadams Says: Fresno is my home and i know the peoples who inhabit this place. Our culture is diverse and our future looks good. Fresno is part of this vast universe. So naturally we have our own unique way of life.
bigregret Says: Do not be fooled. They named their airport Fresno Yosemite International to attract tourists. Fresno is over one and a half hours by car from Yosemite. The airport is not international, there is no customs office there. The summers are brutal, 110 degress and some of the...
A lot of these travel sights...

World's Smallest Catholic Parish
MarshallFritz Says: St. Genevieve's Catholic Church was built in 1938 for the Chinese community. It was given one block of real estate as parish boundries, making it the smallest parish in the world. It is, I believe, the only Catholic church in the USA specifically a Chinese parish. You can...
Cherry Avenue Auction. It's...
EnriqueVel Says: Cherry Avenue Auction. It's been a while since I've gone so I can't remember what days it's held on (I believe Tuesdays and Saturdays) but if you like bartering, fresh produce and good food(for the most part Mexican and Asian) this is about as good as you can get in town,...
