    The Kearney Mansion is a beautiful piece of history that Fresno has to offer. The tours on Saturday are 1pm, 2pm, and 3pm. Fee's are $10 for adults and $8 for seniors and children 4 and under free. Thank you to our tour guide Candice, she did an amazing job with the history. Money well spent and definitely people who haven't visited this piece of history should visit.

    I'm at a pirate 🦜 invasion. It's all weekend and there's real pirates and real cannons. I love the smell of gunpowder. For real I was born on the fourth of July 🦜

    Very interested historical house. The house has many interesting features showing life in rural CA at the turn of the century. The wallpapering is wonderful. It shows restoration and pieces of original, so you see the beauty of what was intended but also how it has aged. The tour guide was very good. We were the last tour of the day and were there for a birthday. He made the experience really memorable.

    Beautiful property. Great informative tour (thanks JV!). Fascinating history dating back 120+ years. Seeing the mansion decorated for the holidays was quite a treat.

    There is a $5 entrance fee, make sure to take cash. This place offers large picnic areas with grills. There are bathrooms, however they did not have any paper, or hand soap.

    🌲Love this park! 🌲 It's a forgotten green paradise🌳 Lots of shade and green trees to relax and have a peaceful getaway. Park is pretty big to have your own space and privacy. Their are plenty of barbecue pits and shade canopies to have a fun gathering as well.

    We went to the Kearney mansion as part of a field trip with my children’s school. I have lived in Fresno my whole life and never have been to this museum before. Definitely worth a visit. So much history and interesting story. I will say our tour guide is what really sealed the deal for us. Joshua was hands down the best tour guide. Made it fun and informative. You can see his passion for his job which made us even more interested. To keep a group of kids engaged is a skill and also adults. Would definitely recommend going and checking out the history behind Mr. Kearney and the mansion.

    My wife and I were the only two in our mid-day tour, but we had a great time exploring the Kearney Mansion. Our guide Joshua could not have been better, and kept us entertained and informed throughout the entire tour. Along with the beautiful home, the grounds are perfect for a family outing. Highly recommend! 👍

    A true treasure in Fresno County. So much history and they are restoring more as time goes on. Beautiful displays and the park is nice as well.

  • 5/5 Paul M. 1 year ago on Google
    What a bargain at $10 for the guided tour. It was extremely educational and informative about early Fresno history. You can experience stepping back in time bringing the history to life in a very scenic park in a particularly pleasant part of Fresno. The tour guide was very friendly and well informed and answered every question posed by the visitors. I could tell that she had really done her research homework. I can't recommend this place highly enough.

    Pretty Cool piece of history in fresno county. I learned a lot of interesting facts about this place. The house looks a lot bigger from the outside but i believe there are only about 4 rooms on top and three bathrooms and there are 4 rooms on the bottom. My favorite part was the gift shop in the back which used to be the kitchen that was a very cool end to the tour.

    Kearney Mansion Museum is so much fun and such a hidden gem. I went on a tour a couple weeks ago and the staff is so friendly! I had no idea that Kearney owned so much land, had his own currency and basically created his own little town! Don't worry I didn't spoil too much there's still so much more to know. There is air conditioning and it would be good gor kids. You do go up stairs and out doors for part of the tour. Definitely a bucketlist item! Fresno has some great gems. Candice and Kayla are especially great!

    Fascinating tour of the “Raisin King’s”Fresno mansion from the early 1900’s. Though only parents and I signed up for the hour-long tour our guide was interactive and expanded on any of our questions. The original (and replica restoration) wallpaper with various flowers was my favorite part of the tour. Definitely among Fresno’s top tours, along with the Meux Home Museum (late 1800s) and the Forestiere Underground Gardens (1906-1946).
