We Welcome World Ag Expo Attendees!
We welcome you to explore Fresno and the Central Valley.
Fresno, California's year-round playground is located less than an hour’s drive or shuttle ride north of the International Agri Center in Tulare, California. The 5th largest city in California, geographically located right in the center of the state and the only place in the USA where you are within 90 minutes of three National Parks. This is truly the perfect place to stay, before, during and after the World Ag Expo. This section of our website is dedicated to meeting your needs and welcoming you to explore our city.
Location
Planning Ahead
Before you book your flight and finalize your travel itinerary consider what Fresno has to offer. Take an extra day or two and make that trip of a lifetime to Yosemite, Kings Canyon or Sequoia while you are here. Fresno is a less than 90 minutes from all three of these world famous National Parks and if you don’t want to drive yourself you can let us arrange a tour for you. If you prefer to keep your trip focused on agriculture we can help you there too. Fresno County is the largest agricultural producing county in California and because of this we have a variety of farms, year round fruit markets, wineries and Blossom Trails to tour. Rent a car and make these easy journeys yourself or allow us to assist you by arranging a tour.

Smoking Rules
You must be 18 to purchase tobacco products. Smoking is prohibited in all public buildings (including restaurants, bars and casinos) and enclosed spaces throughout California. It is illegal to smoke within 20 feet of doorways or windows of government buildings. Most large hotels have designated smoking rooms; if you smoke, request one – most hotels will fine guests who smoke inside a non-smoking room. Many cities in California (including half the cities in San Diego County) have passed ordinances prohibiting smoking in all public places. It is even illegal to smoke on certain beaches in Southern California – watch for signs!
Driving Regulations
By law, everyone in a vehicle must wear a seatbelt, and motorcyclists must wear a helmet. Speed limits are posted in miles-per-hour (mph). Generally, the speed limit on multi-lane freeways is 65mph. On two-lane highways it is usually 55mph. The speed limit on city streets is usually 35mph. In residential areas, near schools and in areas with heavy foot traffic, the speed limit is almost always 25mph. Along freeways with heavy traffic, car pool lanes (or "diamond lanes") are identified by small black-and-white signs and by diamonds painted on the roadway. To drive in a car pool lane, you must usually have two people (including the driver) in the car. Some car pool lanes in the San Francisco Bay Area require three people (including the driver). The new Wireless Communications Device Law (effective January 1, 2009) makes it an infraction to write, send, or read text-based communication on an electronic wireless communications device, such as a cell phone, while driving a motor vehicle. Drivers must also use a hands-free device when speaking on a cell phone. Roundabouts are uncommon in California. Most intersections are either signed by traffic lights or by stop signs. Unless signed otherwise, it is legal to make a right turn on a red light after you come to a complete stop. The California Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) publishes an online version of its California Driver Handbook which thoroughly explains California road rules.
