Located on the California State University campus, Downing Planetarium offers the people of Fresno a chance to explore the galaxy from the comfort of a 74-seat star theater. Choose from several different shows at the 30-foot dome theater. Learn about outer space and the technology used to observe it. Gaze up at the stars in the middle of a modern star party, or learn about the history of stargazing.
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.
Bring you inner artist out at the semi-monthly ArtHop. ArtHop provides local artists with the opportunity to showcase their work-whether traditional or contemporary-on the first and third Thursday of each month. Visit the Tower District and downtown's museums, studios, galleries and other venues to see these exhibitions. Be sure to visit the local vendors who join as well.
