The zoo has several specialty animal exhibits as well, including the petting zoo and the African Adventure.
The “Dino Dig” is popular with young kids. This exhibit allows them to “excavate” fossils and learn more about prehistoric animals.
Island Waterpark
A summertime favorite for all ages, Island Waterpark is more than just another swimming pool or place to get wet; it is an experience. Head to the water park for wet and wild fun that keeps summer exciting. You’ll find an assortment of water slides, pools, and kids’ areas available. The wave pool and Tsunami Slide are two favorite attractions at Island Waterpark.
Rent a cabana and grab a few cold adult drinks for an even more exciting day at the pool.
Old Town Clovis
Drive a stylish Dodge Charger to Old Town Clovis, about 15 minutes north of Fresno, and explore the unique restaurants, shops, antique and specialty stores, and shops lining the colorful streets. Every summer, the farmer’s market opens in Old Town Clovis, selling a variety of fresh fruits and vegetables and homemade goods. Guided walking tours are available once you arrive if you want to know more about the area, its history, and other facts.
If you happen to be in Old Town Clovis late at night, don’t miss the chance to kick back with a cold one at one of the great taverns scatted throughout the area, but remember to drink responsibly and never get behind the wheel of a car after you’ve been drinking.
