Fresno sits in the middle of California's farm country, where much of the nation's fruit and vegetables grow. It is a gateway to giant mountains.
Visit the underground gardens at Forestiere Underground Gardens, meet animals at the Fresno Chaffee Zoo, and drive up to see giant sequoia trees nearby.
Fresno is surrounded by farms that grow grapes, almonds, and oranges shipped all over the country.
The city is close to Sequoia and Kings Canyon parks, home to the biggest trees on Earth.
