Chico - Tourist Attractions / Parks

Chico, California is a quiet city and its attractions are usually quiet. You'll find less in the way of amusement parks or glittering entertainment strips and more in the way of parks that stretch out for miles, such as Bidwell Park. Historical sites and museums are also typical attractions here. Visit the Gold Nugget Museum and the Bidwall Mansion for a taste of the local past, or stop by the National Yo-Yo Contest and Museum for something a little more quirky. The pace of life is relaxed in Chico - this is not a city where you rush from place to place, but take your time exploring the trees and bluffs.
