"Whether it's the places we visited or the locals we met, it doesn't get any more genuine than Bakersfield." - Huell Howser, AAA Westways Magazine
In Bakersfield, California there really is more to explore. When’s the last time you visited one of our locally-owned authentic eateries, our emerging arts district, or played golf with the Sierra Nevada Mountains overlooking you? Ever wanted to sit down to Basque meal?
In Bakersfield it’s possible to enjoy a bike ride from the mouth of a canyon, alongside a river, and out into native grasslands – all on a single paved trail. Get a glimpse of a bear or mountain lion at the California Living Museum, or learn about how Bakersfield was once under water at the Buena Vista Museum of Natural History.
Did you know the entrance to Sequoia National Forest is a mere 15 minutes northeast of downtown Bakersfield? Take a day trip to one of the wilderness preserves, national parks, or historic sites that sit within an hour of Bakersfield.
Ready to see what has made Bakersfield famous throughout the years? Check out Buck Owens’ Crystal Palace or the Kern County Museum’s “Black Gold Exhibit” – the definitive hands-on experience about oil production. You can also take a trip down Korn Row, a street dedicated to the hometown Grammy-winning band Korn.
Next time you drive through, make sure to stop and really get to know Bakersfield.
