About

Wonder Valley Outdoor Education Center offers activities such as horseback riding, archery, tennis, volleyball, go-karts, ziplining, rock climbing, swimming, kayaking, craft-making, and paintball. The program also gives participants access to sports courts, horseshoe pits, swimming pools, biking trails, and a trampoline center for a wide range of things to do. The center operates within a larger all-inclusive resort that has no resort fees, free Wi‑Fi and parking, and state-of-the-art facilities, along with lodging options that range from homelike cottages to resort-style hotel rooms.

The Wonder Valley Outdoor Education Center is part of a property that has 75 acres dedicated to hands-on learning through comprehensive programming. Group shuttle services are available from the Fresno Yosemite International Airport. The property was originally founded by rancher George Pierson in 1911, was bought by the Webb family in the 1950s, and was purchased by the Oken family in 1973, who own and operate the grounds to this day. One TripAdvisor reviewer, Shannell C, described the hotel as beautiful and clean, with helpful and kind staff and many things to do for kids. Another reviewer, Lucia D, noted that the staff was very friendly and helpful and that the property was beautiful. A third reviewer, Terry Smits Moren, described attending a retreat there, mentioning that the grounds were large with lots to do, that it was very clean and easy to walk around, and that the cabins felt homey and warm.
