30 Best Stops Between Laughlin and Fresno (2024)

The dinning area is really nice. Very family friendly. A little on the expensive side but not going to blow your budget. Didn't have many ice cream flavors at the moment but since it's close to summer that might change. Liked the gift shop, had tons of cute items such as: toys for kids, candy tons of candy, funny postcards, and tons of items to remember your trip to Traver. They had some animals: a llama, a goat, 2 donkeys, 2 chickens, a pig, 3 bunnies, 2 quails (I think),a parakeet?, and a PEAco*ck 🦚!! The only thing I don't like is that you can't really interact with many of the animals, it's understandable for the safety of the children, but it would be better to get a little closer. Really nice area to spend a couple of hours with your family.I'm Carlos Dominguez, and I approve this message. 👌

So much to say about this place!! First of all, they have an amazing assortment of different salami's, I got the herb de Provence, and I would've grabbed more if I hadn't been about to travel. I originally pulled over because it said it was a cheese shop, and I happen to love cheese, but in the end because we were driving and I had another 7 or so hours of driving left, only bought non perishable goods. They also have a lot of things made nearby, they had some really awesome nuts, I picked up the cappuccino almonds as well as some toffee pecans. There's also an area where you can buy fresh made fudge that's absolutely amazing!! They offer samples and each of the employees there was super nice. Out in the back area, there is a treehouse that's stupidly high, it took me over 30 seconds to climb to the top and I do not recommend it for claustrophobic people, but it was absolutely fantastic!! I had a lot of fun going to the top, personally. In the back, there's a little petting farm sort of situation where you can pay quarters to feed the animals, there is a donkey as well as a pig and some roosters, peaco*ck and rabbits, as well as we saw a cat walking around, though she seemed to have no interest in us. There is a miniature "shooting" range game, an area to pan for gold/other items and a tiny play ground for the kiddies. There's also a restaurant there on site but we had literally just eaten beforehand so unfortunately, we didn't stop there, but it looked large, clean and like a great place for a family meal. If I'm ever back in this direction for whatever reason, I will definitely stop in again.

Fun, eclectic stop in the middle of nowhere. Plenty to see and do for both adults and children and children, and there is also a small dog park for your 4 legged family member. Bring quarters for the petting zoo, and you will be some sheep and goats best friend! Watch out for the Lama though, he spits! There in an antique barn, a huge shop with plenty of souvenirs and snacks, nice restroom facilities, a fudge shop, restaurant, and a multi-story tree house out back.

Great stop for FAMILIES on the way to camping kings canyon from Southern California. Found this place after one stop a few years ago and it’s a great place for kids to poke around and pet/feed some unusually clean farm animals. Rabbits, llama, chicken, a bird or two, and a couple of mules?/mini donkeys?There’s inside seating and outside seating. Outside seating has full sun and some shade with mist machines for those who need a break.They have also built a small dog obstacle course outside that has gate. Not as big as a dog park but something is better than nothing! Probably great for medium to smaller dogs.Parking can be tight during lunch hours but there’s plenty and an additional gravel lot next to the large barn.Inside there’s so many treasures, gifts, and candies for kids to adults. Literally all types of gifts from board games to wooden sling shots to wonky mother-law-signs for the yard.Bathrooms are relatively clean, considering the amount of people that go through there. For males, there’s only a single stall for #2 so ….maybe try the several other gas stations if you really gotta do the dooty.

The best supercharger we stopped at on our road trip! A super fast and not busy charge and bravo farms was fantastic! The food from the restaurant was great and so was the cheese!

Driving down Highway 99 just out of Bakersfield heading towards Fresno, I saw a bunch of signs about shopping at Bravo Farms. They definitely got my attention but really poorly got my attention was a sign that said petting zoo. In that moment I knew I had to stop by so that mom can go and pet some goats.It’s easy to find right off the highway on the side of the road. Plenty of parking, including handicap parking. Oh and there’s an antique shop off to the right behind the store. But first go through those shop doors and visit the gift shop no matter who’s on your list no matter how hard they are to shop for, you will find something for everybody. There is a restaurant and saloon and a chocolate shop to make a mouth water but the best is yet to come…….First creature we came upon was a peaco*ck, magnificent bird finally posed for a picture after picking at his feathers, trying to bathe himself. Just beyond that was a pig and I mean a huge pig! Then off to the left were the goats. Oh my gravy, the goats! I’m telling you no matter how old you are 2 to a 100 —I’m telling you petting a goat will make the child within giggle and feel so alive and free no matter where you have been in life. Truly it’s the simple things in life that really matter. If you agree with that statement alone, please like this review with s thumbs up and make your own statement by doing so.Every trip we make for the Central Valley will include a pit stop off at Bravo Farms. The heart yearns for it, the soul calls for it, but we definitely need it. Thank God for places like Bravo Farms.

Nice spot to stop and stretch your legs and get some yummy goodies. Plenty of truck parking. We got several cheeses and jams, glass bottle milk and Easter egg nog. Everything we've tasted so far has been delicious. It is pricey, but to be expected these days, I wish they had cheese samples though.The bathrooms are nice, big and clean. Go out back to find a treehouse you can climb to the second story that overlooks the petting zoo animals. The slide down was unexpectedly fast lol. Don't forget the poor sheep they are next to the Tesla chargers and they were very happy for scratches. Nice little dog walk over there too.We walked across the street for Indian (which was great!) but the restaurant there smelled and looked good too, we'll try it next time.

We stopped to use the Tesla superchargers & found this awesome Gem! Go inside so much cute stuff. Great for kids, ice cream, quick bites & cute gifts to have for keepsakes. Oh & all the yummy cheese!

Bravo Farms is so much fun. I love cheese. This garlic jack is so creamy and delicious. The fudge is perfect. They have a great selection of jams, cheeses, candy and gifts. Stop by.

I have been stopping here for at least 10 years. LOVE the upgrades they have made!Today I tried the breakfast (usually get lunch) and was pleasantly suprised. The meal was not only plentiful but the price was perfect! ( just under $16 for meal and drink) The pancakes were at least 2 palms big (plus see the pic for how thick they were) and there had to be at least 4 eggs in the scramble!The grounds are always well kept, the restrooms always clean and stocked, and the animals always look healthy and happy.

Cool roadside attraction with lots of things for everyone.The petting zoo and kids play area is nice for stretching the legs.That's with most roadside attractions, everything is pretty expensive, but it's cool that the kids can play for free and you can get a decent meal.

Cool location with a tree house, small farm animals, antique boutique, and ok at best food. The food was pricy and as stated just "ok"; so I don't recommend eating there. $35 (+ tip for them to just ring up my order at the counter) for a pulled pork sandwich and a brisket sandwich. The meat at the highest point in each sandwich was 3/8"! I believe I later saw it was 4 oz of meat - sad!!! The meat didn't have a smoked flavor and/or any BBQ sauce to liven it up. They did give you 2 oz of bland coleslaw or 2oz of some type of mixed beans (both were not good and not eaten).The food took away 2 stars or it would have been 5!!In short, go for the atmosphere, antiques, cheese, and trinkets but NOT for the food!!!

Super neat place to stop and visit if you are driving along the 99 highway. Once you enter, there is a little gift shop and store where you can buy all these different treats and cheeses. What I really loved was the really cool 7 story treehouse that you can climb inside of. They also have a little animal feeding spot where you can pay a minimal fee of $1 or so to feed the sheep. My daughter and I spent a couple hours browsing around the gift shop and interacting with the animals. Would stop by again if passing through again.

Burger tasted great, which, for costing $25, it damn well better.Especially after witnessing their SAMPLE-PORTIONED SIDES, with all 12 of my campfire beans being downed in one shot during unbeknownst fasting.No drink, no way.Did pay nearly $10 for a micro 3.oz habanero cheddar loaf that tasted okay.Also, dont make the mistake of grabbing a menu and finding a booth to wait for service.... it'll NEVER COME...idk why they even put the menus out for people to grab, it's misleading.Check the pic to see what $30 gets one person.

Super clean bathrooms, lots of room to park. Lot's of room to walk around and plenty of stuff to look at. Expensive tourist stop items. Plus cheese, fudge and really good Rosa 🍨 ice cream!!! Staff completely ignored me, even tried to smile and say Hi to the employee at the fudge counter and get her attention but she was involved in the cash register. No one at ice cream counter when I was there. ( My son ended up getting the absolutely delicious ice cream for us)No prices on drinks and such so I stopped looking.Cute dog area too!!

Bravo Farms where you can just go visit and have a good time. Enjoy The tasty snacks and treats they have to offer!
