★★★★Jill WinterStumbled upon this while burning timenin Fresno. The Dutch gardens are really something, completely cared for by volunteers. I recommend going to take a look. Only 4 stars because the actual discovery center was under construction and not up and usable.
★★★★★Jamie OaklandVisited on a Saturday morning at 9 AM with our 2-year-old niece (kids free 2 and under). Enjoyed our visit and spent about 2.5 hours. Large dinosaurs, play areas, toys, jungle gym, swing, science section, reptiles, turtles, dirt/dino bones area, koy fish. Plenty to do and for kiddos to keep themselves entertained and learning. Very affordable, fun activity.
★★★★★haley torresMy toddler and I had so much fun at the Fresno Discovery Center! There was so much property to explore and so many things to see and do. It was so much more expansive and fun than I imagined it would be. There are beautiful gardens to explore, interactive activities, both inside and outside, and some animals too. For only $6 for adult admission, you definitely get a lot of bang for your buck! I would definitely recommend this spot for kids of all ages and even adults!
★★★★★Patty HigaredaWonderful interactive and educational center for kids. My first time visiting here with my child's school was a great experience. The guides were very informative and knowledgeable. I will definitely be back with my children.
★★★★★Brittanie Adaire HikesThis place is a really cool semi hidden gem in Fresno. It's only $6 per person kids 2 and under are free. There is definitely quite a bit to do for toddlers, I took my niece who is 2.5 and we spent the whole 3 hours there having fun. They have an indoor play area filled with fun learning games, books, toys. They have a play ground (definitely could use some repairs and upgrades), but still the kids love it. There is a turtle and coy fish pond, a bunny and even a tortoise out back. My favorite though was the Cactus garden and the Garden of the Sun (which is technically not a part of the discovery center, but is accessible through the discovery center). The cactus garden has huge cacti, really amazing! The garden of the sun is just gorgeous, tip go early in the morning for a better chance of it being open. The discovery center also has a cool science room, with magnets and other cool attractions. There is no parking lot, only street parking. Definitely recommend taking the little ones for a play date here. They also have tot time, they read books and my niece got to pet a toad.
