An immense and gorgeous museum which colorfully illustrates Fresno's history. I have been to the…read moreFresno fair many a time and have completely overlooked this gem. History is a fascinating subject and it's always a treat to learn more about the place you were born and raised! The hallways leading up to the space itself are richly detailed and showcase vibrant displays of art and sports history. Once inside, you will see floor to ceiling walls dedicated to past leaders, presidents who have visited Fresno and even Armenian history in Fresno. I am looking forward to coming back in October to get the full experience! As far as I know, this museum only operates during fair time (October). Apparently, it can be rented out for events. However, I am not sure if just anyone can rent this space out or if it is limited to businesses and organizations. Btw the fundraiser I attended was more than successful, and Mell from Mell's mutts couldn't have picked a better space. If you plan on attending the fair this year, do check this out!

The staff was very friendly. The tour guide shared a lot of interesting information. The…read moreunderground tunnels and gardens were fascinating. The price was worth it so that this place can be kept up for hundreds of more years. I was very impressed with what Mr. Forestiere did with his hands. The bottom chamber was 20-25 degrees cooler than above ground. Trees are over a hundred years old and still producing fruit. What a great and unique piece of history right here in Fresno CA.

I've lived in Fresno my whole life and somehow didn't visit Forestiere Underground Gardens until…read morelast year. that is a mistake I genuinely regret. one man hand carved an underground world beneath the San Joaquin Valley over decades and you can walk through it. the fact that this exists here and most Fresno locals have never been is wild to me. the tunnels, the rooms, the skylights that let in just enough light to grow citrus trees underground. it sounds impossible until you're standing in it. the tour guides are great. ours knew the history inside and out and made the whole thing feel like a story rather than a lecture. you leave actually knowing who Baldasare Forestiere was and why he did what he did and it sticks with you. its not a long visit but its a full one. I was genuinely moved in a way I didn't expect from a Saturday afternoon activity in Fresno. bring people who are visiting from out of town. bring people who've lived here forever. this is the kind of place that makes you see your own city differently and that doesn't happen often. if you haven't been, go soon. and if you have been, you already understand why I felt the need to write this.

Thank you to Ashley and everyone at Simonian Farms for helping to make our 40th high school reunion…read moreevent so successful! Everything from the venue's beautiful grounds, dining/bar setup, options of amenities, its proximity to lodging, and food/catering choices were top-notch and many people who attended were extremely complimentary. So much so, that I am going to include some of the comments from our attendees in this review. Here's what our attendees had to say: "Beautiful yet comfortable casual atmosphere", "Casual yet felt very upscale...wonderful hometown hospitality", "hidden gem", "amazing atmosphere for reunions, family gatherings, and other events", and "perfect venue for our reunion...indoor/outdoor aspect works well...there was more room to accommodate a larger group, if necessary". Ashley was extremely flexible with our plans when changes came up, and she always made sure that we had everything we needed (right down to the last minute patio heaters for the surprise cooler weather!) It goes without saying that we would not hesitate to hold another high school reunion at Simonian Farms in the future! Sanger High Class of 1985 Reunion Committee

This is a cute little town. They have many little cute gift stores, yummy restaurants, and great…read moreevents. They have an event called The Enchanted Night. The stores and restaurants are open late and almost all of them offers hot cocoa or apple cider. There also have a carriage that travels around the Main Streets. People make long line to go in it. It's full of lights and pretty decorated. They have singer different genre. They entertain along the streets. Some sing just regular music and some Christmas songs. We always find a place to have diner and then walk around and enjoy the music. We visit the different thrift stores. We always find something nice to buy. It has become a tradition for us to attend this event every year. Highly recommended. It is the official start of the Holidays for us. It's almost like a magical night.

There are always so many events going on in OTC which I am loving the community events. I have gone to over 4. The ones I remember are: Antique Fair Food Festival Fairytale nights Farmers Market My dude and I have enjoyed so much festives here we are always seeing when the next events are. Everyone is very friendly and the respectful. The older folks tell my dude how did he scored his beautiful woman (me), which we always find hilarious as it is usually an older white retired couple. Anywho, if you would have told me I would be living in Clovis like 5 years ago, I would bet my life savings you are wrong but I do and surprisingly it's not that bad. There is always something to explore in OTC, from businesses to people. I love the events that they have which at least I feel like there's something going on every two weeks. The dude and I have gone to several restaurants and Roll Me Some is in OTC, BOA, EECU, and so much more. I am never disappointed when I come to OTC and wish Fresno put on more events like Clovis. There is always something to do here. They have the annual Christmas Parades, Big Hat Days, Veteran Parades and spring much more. I highly recommend to come down and check it out.
