5 days in Fresno Itinerary

The only metropolitan hub nestled between three national parks, Fresno makes a surprisingly lively getaway.

Get out of town with these interesting Fresno side-trips: Yosemite National Park (Half Dome, Mariposa Grove, &more), Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Park (Moro Rock Trail, Giant Forest, &more) and Children's Museum of the Sierra (in Oakhurst). There's still lots to do: learn about wildlife with up-close encounters at Fresno Chaffee Zoo, stroll around Woodward Regional Park, stroll through Forestiere Underground Gardens, and admire the natural beauty at Shinzen Japanese Garden.
