Discover the amazing world of science at the Discovery Center. This fun (and educational) children's museum offers excitement for children and adults. Find something new and exciting at every visit to this attraction. Run through the gardens and feed the tortoises some zucchini. Find your way out of the maze. Bring the whole family along for a hands-on science lesson on a Saturday afternoon.

Although you will have to drive about two hours outside of Fresno to reach it, Yosemite National Park is well worth the trip. This national park encompasses 761,268 acres, with spectacular granite cliffs, waterfalls and Giant Sequoia groves. The seven square miles of Yosemite Valley are wonderful for camping, hiking, biking and even swimming. This designated wilderness is the perfect outdoor escape from urban life.

Beat the summer heat at Island Waterpark, the perfect place to cool down and splash around. Designed to please patrons of all ages, from toddlers to adults, everyone will find something fun to do at this waterpark attraction. Laze around in the wave pool or floating river, or get your thrills on one of the 20 rides-including a three-story slide and the ever-popular Rapids.

Get fresh fruit and veggies grown with minimal chemical and pesticide use from Sumner Peck Ranch, just a few minutes outside of Fresno. Purchase from the fruit stands or go out into the fields and choose your own. Pick a variety of in-season foods including cherries, grapes, oranges, apples, jalapenos, lettuce, peppers, squash or pecans. Honey from the farm's hives is also available.
