Visit Visalia

Visalia is located in Central California, just within driving distance to Los Angeles and San Francisco. As the most robust city near Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Parks, Visalia has long been known as “the gateway” to these beautiful parks in the Sierra Nevada Mountains. The legendary sequoias—including the world’s largest tree, The General Sherman—are a draw for adventure-seeking visitors from around the globe.
The city is more than a basecamp for national park travelers. With a vibrant downtown, unique foodie restaurants, craft breweries, farmers’ markets, boutique shopping and a thriving, eclectic art scene, Visalia is a destination all its own. It’s a hub for family travel, with expansive youth sports facilities and children’s venues and attractions. And, its walkable downtown and access to hotel rooms and meeting space make it a popular convention destination, as well.
Visalia is an all-American city with historic charm and a modern draw.
