Last week we gave props to the many locally-owned restaurants that have shifted how they do business by accommodating outdoor dining only. Check out that full list HERE. This week, we thought we’d share the many ways our cherished Fresno Chaffee Zoo has creatively adjusted to the current restrictions they are facing. Read on!

Early-Bird Tours: Beat the heat and enjoy the Zoo for a private tour. Route, themes, and topics will change throughout the season, so you can book multiple tours! $30.00pp plus admission to the Zoo. Click above for more info.
Virtual Zoo Camp: Zoo camp is going virtual! Campers ages 5-11 can join zookeepers for daily live visits to the Zoo, animal meet-and-greets, crafts and nature discoveries. Registration in advance is required. $40.00 per household, per week. Click above for more info.
Evenings on the Savannah: Enjoy outdoor dining with a view. Extended hours every Friday and Saturday in August. Follow the Zoo on social media for more information on themes, specials, live music and other updates on each night.

If a visit is not in your future, you can still support the Zoo by donating, adopting an animal, or sponsoring an event. Click the photo above for more info on how to donate.

Head YES man at FresYes.com

I grew up in Fresno. Relaxed in its calm breezes, listened with my dad to the crack of the bat at little league baseball games when I was a kid and now take my son to do the same at minor league games. I broadened my mind at its schools (I went to high school right here at San Joaquin Memorial, and to college at Fresno State!) I love that if I drive for two hours in one direction, I can be in the mountains. For two hours in another, luxuriating on a California beach. I can enjoy the cosmopolitan atmosphere of San Francisco or Los Angeles, but still be able to come home to relaxation, calm, and quiet.

I love where I live, and I also love what I do. I'm lucky to be able to work in a profession in which I get to build relationships; one that has me meeting new people each and every day and helping them to build new lives in my beloved city. I'm lucky enough to work in a profession in which I can marry cutting-edge technologies and marketing techniques to good, old-fashioned, nose-to-the-grindstone work. I am lucky enough to work in a profession that allows me to work as an advocate for my clients; to use every tool at my disposal to get a job done well for them, and with as little stress and expense as possible.

I love my city. I love my job. One inspires my excellence for the other.

Fresno? I say FresYES
