What’s on in Madera

Within 25 miles of Madera. Dates and wording are each venue’s own.

Madera's attractions lean toward seasonal and historical experiences. The Madera County Museum occupies a granite building constructed in 1900 that originally served as the Madera County Courthouse and government offices. Madera's Pumpkin Patch at the Madera Fairgrounds offers a seasonal autumn attraction featuring pumpkin picking as its primary activity. For those drawn to thrills, Raisin Hell Ranch is a haunted attraction set on a working farm in Madera, California, where visitors navigate multiple haunted experiences throughout the property. Together, these three places suit different family trips: a museum visit works for a rainy afternoon or a couple of hours with younger children, pumpkin picking suits a crisp autumn outing, and the ranch appeals to older kids and teenagers seeking a more intense experience. Madera offers no major amusement parks or aquariums, so plan accordingly for what the region actually holds.
