Amtrak San Joaquins

Pros: We were treaded so well, everything was nice and clean, and it was comfortable. Tips: We went from Fresno to Hanford to have ice cream with our 7 year old grandson. It was a fun trip! Only had an hour to get back on the train after arriving so we had to walk fast there and back and still had enough time to have ice cream at Superior Dairy (you could schedule it differently but that worked for us.

One of the city’s most unique destinations is the Forestiere Underground Gardens. Built by a Sicilian immigrant, the gardens stay below the ground level so that citrus trees could grow, making it a unique sight that will capture the heart of nature lovers. Fresno has recently gone through a lot of changes in the field of agriculture, and the city’s love for homegrown produce is now one of its attractions. As you explore the city, don’t hesitate to make a slight detour to Riverdance Farm, a local organic farm where you can pick ripened blueberries and cherries to your heart’s content. For fans of cultural activities, the Fresno Art Museum offers unique artworks created mostly by local artists.

Fresno restaurants are famous for their fresh homegrown produce, and Sam’s Italian Deli & Market is where you can try local staples. If you want to cook yourself, Fresno Farmers’ Market will be a great choice.
