Sequoia National Park is only about an hour from Reedley. Definitely worth the trip!
Bravo Farms has a few locations throughout the Central Valley. It's a great place for a pit stop on the road trip up from SoCal. It's really fun and wild west themed. There's a store where you can buy all kinds of snacks and goodies, a roadside restaurant with really good tri-tip and other bbq sandwiches, and an ice cream shop!
The Underground Gardens are definitely one of Fresno's hidden gems!

One of our favorite family-run Mexican restaurants in the area! Anything with their chile verde is yummy! (and they put it on everything- enchiladas, quesadillas, chile rellenos, chips, fries, and Cole's favorite- bacon cheese burgers!! - It is ALSO the place where Ben had lunch with my family to tell them he wanted to ask me to marry him!)
If you're looking for some Armenian shish kebab or keyma on your way down from Nor Cal, this is the place to go! (Plus- Teazers right across the hall has super yummy drinks too!!) Hours: M-F 6AM-3PM Sat 7AM-3PM Sun CLOSED
