★★★★★Debbie GoodmanI’m so glad we have a place like this to educate people about the river and nature in the surrounding area. I encourage people to visit the Coke Hallowell center for River studies. There’s a little nature trail for children. Very educational! Don’t forget to visit the River Ranch House, while you are there!
★★★★★Lynn OwensGreat organization. Lots of family and Nature friendly activities going on year round. I've been a Guest, a Volunteer and an Employee, who wore many different hats. It was a great experience. Hardest, funnest, most challenging & rewarding job. Real Asset for both Fresno, Madera and Valley residents.
★★★★★Martin CawthorneGlad they saved this old Ranch home vs a gravel pit. Enjoyed reading the historic vignettes inside.
★★★★★Alexandra UlmerMy family goes to this location often. It is a gorgeous property. They recently built a big barn type of structure which you can rent out for almost any occasion, which is awesome! I love going to this place.
★★★★★Tee JayThis place is awesome! Everything about it is cool. They have a little bit of everything for everyone. Don't miss out on this nugget in the valley.
