FAC Water Tower - Fresno (CA)

5 /5 Rowen F.: I cant believe Ive never gone inside despite living in Fresno for years. Its an amazing gem, definitely worth your time to check it out. The inside is beautiful with a lot of art from local artists on display. They also have free publications with activities to do in the area, so if your looking for something to do this summer this is a great place to look.

5 /5 Mandy Kirby: The manager here is so helpful. She is knowledgeable and friendly. Love the association the water tower has developed with the arts council. Such creative ideas.

5 /5 Kris: According to the plaque there was an irrigation ditch that ran through here that powered a grain mill. As the plaque explains, a mob of irate citizens became sick of the smell and garbage accumulaying in the ditch and filled it in one day. After that the mill ran on diesel. Now there is just this cool little park across from the fresno city hall, library, and other local landmarks. It is a great downtown for a walk.

3 /5 briantravelman: There was a barricade at the door, so IDK if its still a visitor center or not. Its a nice structure and interesting piece of history, but lots of sketchy people in the vicinity. Didnt stick around for very long.

4 /5 Trypp Adams: Cool old water tower. Has a bit of a whimsical or fairytale vibe. Wish I could have checked out the interior but unfortunately it was closed while I was there. Plenty of parking meters around it and a nice park. I was impressed with all of the art Deco buildings nearby.
