Chico is truly blessed to have a huge municipal park. The westerly end is developed for public use with softball fields, playgrounds and a natural creek swimming pool. Head east to Upper Park and you can hike, fish, swim for hours and not see another person. Plus there is an excellent golf course at the entrance to Upper Park (Bidwell Park Golf Course).

Reviewed By ExploreButteCounty - Chico, United States
Maisie Jane's is a Butte County favorite, and Maisie Jane herself has deep ties to the area. You can taste the regional love in all her nuts and nut products. You'll likely leave her gift shop with more than you anticipated--there's more almonds flavors than you could ever think of (we always like to get a bag of some chocolate-coated ones) plus a wide range of almond butters. You'll also find a variety of other locally made (non-nut) goodies and festive decorations to take home.

Overall Ratings

There’s a lot going on at Sierra Nevada. If you want to see it all, we’ll pull back the curtains for you. We’ve designed several tours whose durations and content vary, so one of them is bound to fulfill your curiosity—or try them all! Common among them is a dose of history that underscores our role as a craft beer pioneer. Depending on the adventure, you’ll get your hands on our ingredients, peer into brewhouse vessels, stroll beneath fermenters, overlook our packaging facility, and take in our sea of solar panels. If you’re over 21 years old, a guided beer tasting of new and limited release beers, or sampling straight from the fermentation tanks just might be your next adventure. Choose your destiny. We can’t wait to show you around. Our tours fill up quickly! We highly recommend making your reservations online, in advance.
