Step back in time and enjoy a romantic ride from Fresno Carriage, which offers horse-drawn carriage rides for weddings, anniversaries and other special events. This locally owned and operated company centers out of the foothills of Central Valley, and the beautiful Percheron horses are available for reservations in all areas of Fresno County.
Visit Fresno County's first park. Kearney Park is 225 acres and offers picnic and outdoor sports facilities in its day-use areas. Play a game of soccer, test your skills at horseshoe, hit a few balls at the softball and baseball fields or let the children have fun on the playground. When the heat's too much, visit the Kearney Mansion Museum for some educational fun and air conditioning.
If you visit in October, be sure to look up the Big Fresno Fair. As its name suggests, this is Fresno County's big annual festival, and is actually the fifth largest fair in the state. Come by for live musical performances by local, regional, national and even international artists. The carnival and special exhibits promise all-day fun for people of all ages.
