Merced - Tourist Attractions / Parks

Merced is an agricultural town and its attractions reflect this - even the zoo is named "Applegate." In the general region there's a modest handful of sights to see, including vintage aircraft at Castle Air Museum and farmers markets. Take a stroll along this city's historic heart and keep an ear to the ground for the latest happenings at the University of California campus that opened here in 2005 before bounding off to explore Yosemite National Park.
