Outdoor Adventure at Your Doorstep

With Sequoia National Park and Kings Canyon National Park located in Tulare County, residents enjoy year-round access to some of the most breathtaking outdoor experiences in the country. From hiking beneath towering giant sequoias to swimming in alpine lakes, rafting local rivers, skiing in the winter, or simply enjoying a family picnic, Tulare offers unmatched access to nature.

For outdoor enthusiasts and families alike, Tulare is where fresh air, open space, and adventure come standard.

Championship Golf Close to Home

The Tulare Golf Course has been transformed to deliver the amenities of the Valley’s premier country clubs—while remaining welcoming and accessible to Tulare’s hardworking agricultural and blue-collar community.

This 6,762-yard, 18-hole course features Bent Grass Poa greens, Bermuda fairways and tees, and elevated greens on the front nine that challenge even skilled players. Lined with eucalyptus and Chinese pistachio trees, the course plays tighter than its 127 slope rating suggests—making it one of the toughest, yet most enjoyable, courses in the Central Valley.

Minor League Baseball, Major League Memories

Just minutes away, the Visalia Rawhide, Single-A affiliate of the Arizona Diamondbacks, delivers classic summer nights filled with baseball, family fun, and community pride. Founded in 1946, the Rawhide are among the most historic Minor League franchises on the West Coast.

Culture, History & Agriculture

The Tulare Historical Museum brings local history to life, from the Yokuts people—the area’s first inhabitants—to pioneer families and hometown heroes like Olympic champion Bob Mathias and Admiral Elmo R. Zumwalt Jr..

At the International Agri-Center, the Ag Museum offers interactive exhibits that celebrate the region’s agricultural legacy. The site is also home to the globally recognized World Ag Expo and the California Antique Equipment Show, drawing visitors from around the world. With room to expand, future plans include an equestrian center, hotels, and convention facilities—strengthening Tulare’s role as an innovation hub in agriculture.

Music, Entertainment & Community Energy

In 2025, the Adventist Health Amphitheater celebrated its grand opening at Zumwalt Park, creating a premier outdoor venue where residents gather to enjoy concerts from nationally recognized artists and local musicians alike. The amphitheater is projected to attract 35,000 to 50,000 visitors to downtown annually—energizing the local economy and expanding entertainment options.

Looking ahead, the City’s proposed Entertainment District will introduce upscale dining, a sports complex, and interactive “eatertainment” experiences—further positioning Tulare as a regional destination.

Each September, the Tulare County Fair welcomes approximately 128,000 attendees for concerts, rides, livestock shows, and agricultural exhibits that celebrate the region’s deep-rooted dairy and farming heritage.

Shopping and dining are equally accessible at the Tulare Outlets, conveniently located off Highway 99 and featuring more than 40 brand-name stores and popular eateries.

Here, fun isn’t an afterthought, it’s part of the foundation. Whether you’re exploring national parks, enjoying live music, cheering at a ballgame, or gathering with neighbors downtown, Tulare is a place where connection, culture, and opportunity grow side by side.
