Small but insightful place of information. This museum will tell you a lot more than you might imagine. Did you know there was an electric street car going from San Francisco to Chico. There were steamboat ferris coming up from SF ( to Marysville and as far as Red Bluff). There was a big Chinatown- whose inhabitants were harassed, killed and eventuell driven out of town. Museum features beautiful altar of the Chinese temple and many more beautiful small windows to a past era. Don’t miss the police exhibit with hilarious description of a wanted criminal ( see video). They also hold special talks - check their events calendar.
I came here as an elementary school student over 30 years ago and now brought my own kiddos here on our visit. Wonderful bits of Chico history. I love that they have the Chinese temple exhibit that I remember from when I was young!
This is the only section on Native American history of this area called Chico?? Wow.
Checked out the exhibit showcasing different remaining aspects of Chicos first Chinese Temple.
Small museum. There is a Chinese temple altar but did not say where it came from. At that section, there are some Chinese artifacts. The other half of the museum are bits of pieces of Chico history. Its quite small and probably will finish in less than hour. Staff is welcoming. Museum is free.
First time visit. We were trying to use up time and it turned into a very pleasant way to do it! Lot's of interesting Chico history and a great, big topographical map of the valley. Will go back!
A simple small museum that did not shy away from the ugly past of Chico. A beautiful piece of history here.
Nice little museum in town that has a lot of history about Chico. Would be nice to see sole more information about the natives. Keep up the great work.
Really cool place. All kinds of planes to see including an actual F-15 fighter plane from Fort Langley. The only thing I can think of for improvement is some history and exhibits about the Chico airport itself. Didn't see any when I was there. Maybe
An amazing collection that will take you down memory lane! The yo-yo museum is a great place to learn about the history of the yo-yo. Every Saturday the staff holds a yo-yo education class where they will teach you tricks. The museum also has A troph
We came here for an after disc golf event. The place was packed, yet they were on top of the service. There was a band setting up but we left before the music started. Thereâs beer (obviously! brewing station) and other beverages. I liked the self
Great place to go have a drink and some food at the end of a long day. You should definitely look over their web page to see what food trucks, activities, live bands or events are going on during the week/weekend. Their staff is always incredibly nic
We really enjoyed the food and the restaurant! It was delicious! Innovative concept of the burger style dish, delicious fries, itâs nice to be able to hold it and not have ingredients fall out ð Lots of choices to customize it and some vegetaria
What a gem of a place. We went twice in one week and can't get enough. The pie crust on the pot pies and the pasties are so flaky and tender. New Chico favorite for sure.
So glad I found this place! They have a sausage muffin sand and chocolate banana bread ð They brew a local coffee too. Thereâs comfortable indoor seating and well shaded bistro seating outside. Very good customer service. I highly recommend!
Hiked the Yahi Trail. Beautiful fall colors and temperatures are perfect this time of year. Kid friendly adventuresome hike for 8 year old. The trail is mostly flat and runs along the creek. Lots of places to meditate or have a picnic. We went back o
Orange Theory has become a second home over the last couple years. Not only is it a great workout, the coaches, staff and members are so motivating and have become like a family. I canât say enough good things about OTF Chico. If you are on the fen
This place is LITERALLY a HOLE in the WALL of a building. So good! Best Carne Asada tacos Iâve had. Delicious moist tender meat with great salsa. And $7 for 4!!!! Highly recommend!
