We met family from Sacramento here today, we're from Bakersfield. We have never been here before…read more It was a great deal at $3/person, since it's the 1st sat of the month. We spent about 3 or so hours playing & exploring. It's really meant for younger ages,probably up until about 10-11. My son is going to be 11 next week & loved it because he loves dinosaurs, digging & science. Not sure i would go out of my way to go back, only because we don't live locally but if we lived in fresno I would consider getting a membership. They have a lot of great programs throughout the week which would be great for school field trips or homeschooling co-ops.

Awesome place for the kids to learn and run around. Was looking for a place for the kiddos to play…read moreand I came across this. Came here once for my nephews birthday and haven't been back since, so it's been a while and I kind of forgot this place exists. You can get your tickets online, I happen to check at the right time because their prices and affordable on every first Saturdays of the month! The lady working was super friendly and helpful, she even told me they do music classes and that the kids are more than welcome to join. Around 11am they have a person doing a science presentation but unfortunately she was running late on her project and I overheard her being kind of rude and not in a good mood so we decided to move on to the next room. They were also selling boba and eggrolls outside, sorry I forget the name of the seller that had their booth there. The kids enjoyed the front area where they can dress up, draw and play with toys. There was also someone selling their 3D printed animals, which the kids loved so I caved and bought them all one plus help support small businesses. Overall it was a nice experience for the kids to enjoy.

This is a historical landmark and she walked me through every room with great detail on the origin story and the rooms we were in. One of the best tour guides I've had. I have never experienced anything this - you have to really appreciate the amount of work, design and detail by Baldassare Forestiere - truly a feat! Very grateful the family makes this available for tours. Highly recommend if you appreciate gardening, architecture, art, engineering etc. They also did a great job of reminding me of my appointment and following up afterwards. If in Fresno area, this is a don't miss!!

My family along with our cousins and aunt decided to tour the Forestier Underground Gardens. It was…read moresuch a gem to visit. The gardens were built in an unexpected park of Fresno and these is a lot of history behind them. Parking was somewhat difficult but once you enter, the staff were very kind, organized, and positive. Our tour guide Raul was super sweet and provided a lot of history regarding the gardens and the family who built them. Raul had my 3 young boys engaged and interested. He answered all my questions and was so open to conversation. You could tell Raul was proud to be there telling all of us how the Gardens came to be. The Gardens are very interesting. I've never seen anything quite like these. The smell of all the citrus trees combine with the natural cooling underground was amazing and made the tour comfortable. If you have any time i do recommend visiting these secret gardens.

Enjoyed the zoo last week. Feeding the giraffes, spectating the bird show, watching the sea lions…read moreand seals swim, and cooling off in the reptile house were the perks of this visit. The plan is to return this week for the dinosaur and butterfly exhibits, which reopened this past weekend. Note, an extra fee to enter each is required.

This used to be our favorite zoo, but our recent visit was by far the worst experience we've had…read more We arrived at 2 PM, thinking our family of four could enjoy everything in two hours, only to find out they were closing early (at 3 PM) for a sold-out ice cream event starting at 5 PM. They no longer participate in the Museums for All program, which was a fantastic way to promote inclusion. Now, they offer a "Wednesday Welcome Days" program allowing adults with a valid ID and a WIC or EBT card to purchase up to four $5 general admission tickets on Wednesdays. This move feels exclusionary, as it limits access for lower-income families to just one day a week--who can take time off work or school to visit? Where's the every day equity? To make matters worse, they don't offer any discount for closing early when we had only an hour left. We paid $99.80 to enter (for 2 adults, a 4-year-old, and a 2-year-old). Additionally, we spent $18.00 for three of us to feed giraffes and $24.00 for the Zoorassic Park experience, which forced us to buy the butterflies package too. We even paid $10 to feed the stingrays, only to be told they were out of food after we had already paid. In total, we wasted $151.80 for just an hour of lackluster fun. Honestly, I'd rather pay a little more for a day at Disneyland--where kids' tickets are only $50 (recent promotion). This place is overcharging and seriously lacking consideration for families. We won't be returning to Fresno Chaffee Zoo.

Contacted this company, Those Two Fish Guyz, to give me an estimate. Left a voicemail. Jeremiah…read morecalled two days later. He said he got a miss call from my number and was calling me back. I asked him if he had time to come out and give me an estimate. Jeremiah said he did and would. It wouldn't be a problem. We both agreed to meet between both our schedules. On the day before the meeting of the estimate, Jeremiah texted and assured that he'd come accordingly to what we both agreed. On the day of the meeting, I thought he was running late. So I waited... and waited... and more waiting. He never showed up nor did he make a courtesy call that he wasn't going to show up. It's been several days. Still silent. A coworker mentioned the same thing about this company as well. This company pulled the same stunt on her too. Word of free advice to Those Two Fish Guyz. If you can't make it to a meeting, common sense says to give the customer a courtesy call. If you can't take on a job, give the customer a straight answer that you can't. It'll be a miracle if this company stays afloat when they're already giving potential customers red flags.

My family contracted Those Two Fish Guyz to repair our large family pond. Initially our…read moreinteractions were pleasant and professional, however after we paid our deposit our experience with Those Fish Guyz drastically changed. During our consultation on June 6, 2024, we were ensured all the holes in the pond would be sealed, cracks in waterfall would be repaired, a new pump would be purchased and installed, a UV light would be installed, pump box wooden lid would be rebuilt, and the pond would be cleaned, refilled and would be treated with good bacteria. My mother paid the $1500.00 deposit on July 1, 2024, and work on the pond was scheduled to begin on the following Monday, July 5, 2024. After no one showed up on Monday, July 5, 2024, Tuesday, July 6, 2024, and Wednesday, July 7, 2024, my mother texted Those Fish Guyz on July 8, 2024, to inquire when work on our pond would begin. She was informed work would begin later that day; however, no one came to our residence or informed us they would need to reschedule. My mother messaged Those Fish Guyz on July 8th, 10th, 12th, 19th, and 22nd. Those Fish Guyz finally found time in their schedule to come to our residence (they also brought one of their minor children) on July 23, 2024, and spent approximately two hours "working" on our pond. They informed my mother they would be out the following day to install our wooden lid. My mother reached out to Those Fish Guyz on July 25, 2024, after they missed their previously agreed upon return date. My mother was informed they could not make it. My mother messaged Those Fish Guyz again on July 26th, July 27th, and July 29th. Those Fish Guyz finally returned to our residence on Wednesday, July 31, 2024, and informed my stepfather they were "99%" done with our pond. My stepfather informed them they did not rebuild our wooden top (they instead installed netting and plumbing pipes without speaking to my mother or stepfather), our pond was still leaking, the UV light was not installed, and the pond still had dirt, debris and was not treated. Those Fish Guyz agreed to come out the following day to complete the job and install the rebuilt wooden lid. My stepfather requested an itemized statement of the work completed, their hourly rate and the amount spent on supplies. Those Fish Guyz refused to provide the requested information because they stated they were not finished. After Those Fish Guyz did not return to our residence the following day, my mother messaged Those Fish Guyz on Monday, August 5, 2024, to see if they could complete the work that afternoon. They responded and stated they would out around 1:00 p.m. After several hours passed my mother called Those Fish Guyz and was informed they could not make it out again. My mother requested an itemized statement of the work completed, their hourly rate and the amount spent on supplies. Those Fish Guyz again refused to provide the requested information because they stated they were not finished. My mother informed Those Fish Guyz she was unsatisfied with the work completed thus far and she would like to know what her deposit was spent on thus far. Those Fish Guyz again declined to provide the requested information and disregarded our concerns about their professionalism and overall work completed. Those Fish Guyz became combative with my mother and ended the call. Minutes later, my mother received a text message stating they were going to send her into collections for not paying the remaining balance owed. Please avoid using these individuals at all costs.

Lots of very specific items for aquarium pets. I came with my daughter and she loved looking at all…read morethe fish, but also wasn't loving the dark/compact feel. We had a staff helping us and answering my many questions which I appreciated. Everything was very pricey. I got 3 items-2 live plants and 1 water conditioner type thing and total was $65. I guess i understand having to keep up with being a small business and people shopping at chain stores. My biggest gripe is one of the plants I was sold seemed like it had been sitting out steaming in the tiny 2oz plastic cup and when I got it home and attempted to prep it to going the tank it just looked in really rough shape. Maybe that's what I should have expected, but I ended up not using any of it, and tossing it. Which was a waste of $20. I haven't put the other plant in the aquarium yet. It's sitting in a separate water tank with a root first. I wanted to love this place, but I just feel let down and disappointed.
