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.

I will never buy tickets here again . I was so upset when I heard how the staff treated my parents…read moreand how Visalia Fox Theatre completely disregarded the needs of my visibly disabled parents . My parents were treated terribly the night of the Amy Grant concert recently. My parents rarely are afforded the opportunity to go out due to chronic pain because of their disabilities . I had purchased tickets for my mom for Christmas due to sentimental reasons . She was very excited , got dressed up and so did my dad who walks with not one but two canes . They took their pain meds and decided to make it a date despite physical barriers . They drove from Hanford to Visalia Fox Theatre. There was no available parking nearby so my dad parked 2 blocks back and hobbled to meet my mom on his two canes for two blocks . Once at the door some young employee tells my mother she can't come in with her backpack purse , meanwhile others are entering inside with purses that didn't have straps . This very young looking employee alerts a " manager " and the manager advances toward my mom with a disgusted expression from what my mom described who by the way is nice to everyone . I'm the mean one when my people are treated badly , but she is not . My mom asks , I dont understand the rationale . How is this purse any different than the other purses other than it has two straps and you can wear it like a backpack? How is that a safety issue in comparison to a regular purse . Both can easily conceal contraband ? I can't walk this far again . I guess I can't go ." The so-called-manager stated " well I guess you can't" in a condescending tone . My handicapped parents hobbled back to their car defeated and were unable to attend the concert that I paid FULL PRICE for in December. They were really sad . You people are monsters ! Close to 150 dollars down the drain . I wonder what Amy Grant would think about how you treated my parents . She is a Christian artist . I was livid when I found out . I was at work while this occurred otherwise your staff would have gotten a very unpleasant phone call from me in real time for how badly they treated my parents . I did call the theatre and I was directed to a voice mail of a woman named Wilamina. She never returned my call ( to my knowledge) No voice mails left . I guess she had better things to do with her time as a manager than manage business relationships with unhappy consumers . Do better Visalia Fox Theatre . My questions for this business are as follows 1. What accommodations do you have in place for ADA laws that accommodate persons with disabilities? Seating ? Parking ? Are your staff educated with ADA laws and what specific training do you provide ? When your staff identified two seniors who were struggling with visible disabilities , were they offered assistance ? 2. How is it that two straps on a purse are more dangerous or threatening than a single strap bag ? Please enlighten me on how there is a greater likelihood of contraband entering the theater with a two strap purse . Brilliant . Your safety measures are superior and sophisticated as are your professional and empathetic staff . On a side note, I've been sharing this experience with some friends . My friend mentioned she attended an event at Hanford Fox theatre a few months ago and was permitted to bring in her backpack purse .

Everything from a fish aquarium, to a fire truck, slides , kitchen, and more. Could have spent the day here , if they were open longer. They have an outdoor area, however was closed due to the rain. Will be back to check it out though. Only open to the public four days a week, other days closed for field trips. Can be pricey $15 for kids one and up and $10 per adult; $7.50 for seniors. Can add up quickly for large families.

First time here with the kiddos and their little cousins! They had a blast! And I'm just at awe…read moreevery corner I look and go to! Down to the restroom with the tiny tiny toilets for the littles! Lol! Love the fact there's kid friendly washing stations through the museum making it easy for the kids. The indoor treehouse has cameras on the outside so parents can keep an eye on the littles while they are in the treehouse which is awesome! The entire time we were there I saw workers tidy up and sanitize and clean the whole time so that is reassuring! Like the indoor didn't impress me enough.. when we went outside.. I was mind blown at how much is outside and how even cuter it is! They had balance bikes with helmet and a track for kiddos, fishing, building, learning to milk a cow, dinosaurs, farmers market, and so much more! Also, kid friend height table and benches perfect for snacking and breaks. Is to note there isn't any food or drinks available for purchase at the museum but we were able to bring our snacks. Price point was so affordable especially for the experience and what they offer for the kids. We will definitely recommend this place and would highly likely return!

We spent about 3 or so hours playing & exploring. It's really meant for younger ages,probably up until about 10-11.

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.

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.

What is there to say about a DMV? It's never fun to go inside and I'm always reminded of LVP (IYKYK) every time I enter one. There were way many mask-less people packed inside with several sneezing and coughing. The entire place reeked and just felt dirty. I too was mask-less, so I hope I make it through the next couple of weeks and avoid the COVID-19. The only thing that I can say is that the employees that I dealt were very helpful and friendly and the counter staff were moving quickly to help their customers. I was in and out in under 20 minutes. I highly recommend the online appointment I'll give it 3-Stars because of the staff and online appointment service. Everything else was terrible.
