Very high quality live entertainment takes place at this wonderful little Playhouse on Main St. in Merced. Their seasons have a wide range of shows from musicals to more serious "straight" plays and you just can't beat the ticket prices. Tickets are available online, by calling their box office or in person. Beer, wine and snacks are available in their recently renovated lobby. Please support live theater and see a show at Playhouse Merced. Discount prices are available for students and seniors.
2. San Luis National Wildlife Refuge
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 60 reviews
The San Luis National Wildlife Refuge encompasses over 26,800 acres of wetlands, riparian forests, native grasslands, and vernal pools. A thriving population of the endemic tule elk is showcased by one of three auto tour routes. The Refuge is host to significant assemblages of birds, mammals, reptiles, amphibians, fish, insects, and plants; some of which, such as the California tiger salamander, the long-horned fairy shrimp, and San Joaquin kit fox, are endangered species. The Refuge is a major wintering ground and migratory stopover point for large concentrations of waterfowl, shorebirds, and other waterbirds. Large flocks of green-winged teal, northern shoveler, mallard, gadwall, wigeon, cinnamon teal, northern pintail, ring-necked duck, canvasback, ruddy duck, and snow, Ross’, and white-fronted geese swarm over the mosaic of seasonal and permanent wetlands that comprise a quarter of the Refuge. Waterfowl generally remain until late March before beginning their journey north to breeding areas. However, some mallard, gadwall, and cinnamon teal stay, breed, and raise young on the Refuge.

An absolutely great refuge abounding with all sorts of wildlife. During our visits, we've seen tule elk, coyotes, red tail hawks, fox, deer, rabbits, herons, egrets, sandhill cranes, and numerous other bird species. You never know what you will see from trip to trip, which is why we never miss visiting whenever we are in the area. I highly recommend taking a few hours out of your day to visit this refuge.

We enjoyed dinner and music at the vista after a day of farm tours. Then we came back the next day for our business meeting and used the indoor facility. It was perfect and the meals were delicious

The performance was great, the facility was great! Too bad there wasn't a larger audience. People are missing out! Building is a beautiful renovated theater and is used for various activities. We saw a great performance by Golden Bough, a celtic musical group, and have been here for other performances. There is not a bad seat in the house. Just wish more people would attend performances here.

Lake Yosemite in Merced, California is only two minutes away from UC Merced. With the UC right next-door, you would think that the lake would have things to do but alas, nothing, until now. “The Padyak Shack” has opened up on the grounds and they rent both kayaks and paddleboards. The staff is both knowledgeable and friendly and willing to make every experience and positive experience. I would definitely recommend a trip to this lake!
