If you visit Chico you can’t leave without exploring Bidwell Park. One of the largest municipal parks. Dirt trails, paved trails, swimming holes, playgrounds.

A cool idea. Serve yourself with wrist bands attached to your credit card. They host a trivia night every other Thursday, which is really fun with a group. Can be a little pricey.
