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.

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.
