The Culture

There are so many fun attractions in Fresno and the surrounding area that you will never run out of things to do. On any given day you can explore the collections at the Fresno Art Museum or take the family to see elephants, tigers and monkeys at Fresno Chaffee Zoo, where the kids can even feed the giraffes and pet the stingrays!

Everyone looks forward to biking or driving the Fresno Blossom Trail in February and March to see all of the fruit and nut trees in bloom, and visiting again in the summer when it becomes the Fresno County Fruit Trail, lined with farm stands brimming with fresh produce.

Art lovers will enjoy live performances at the Historic Crest, Azteca, and Tower Theatres, or just perusing the beautifully painted nave at St. John the Baptist Cathedral. Employers range from agribusiness to small farms, tech companies to a 24-hour casino. Life in Fresno blends modern life with beautiful farms and vineyards just an hour away from the camping, skiing, and hiking trails of the Sierra Nevadas.
