There's much more to explore, but this should get you started.

This place is a self-serve tap house. They have Music and yard games. The pizza is delicious. It's just a vibe, especially on a sunny day!

This is an excellent resource for discovering restaurants, outdoor activities, and events.

This is all of Butte County, so pay attention that you are looking for Chico areas. However, if you do not mind a short drive, there are some gems all over.

This park is beautiful. We recommend this if you would like to to enjoy the outdoors. Its an easy, flat walk. Chico is known for Bidwell Park.
