While Fresno, CA may have made a list of top travel spots, readers arefar from convinced.
In 2009, a documentary branded Fresno as ‘The City Addicted to Crystal Meth.’ Now, defying all expectations, it has landed on a list of America’s topsummer vacation spots, leaving everyone baffled.
Despite being the punchline of countless jokes, Fresno managed to grab the No. 84 spot inWalletHub’s 2026‘Best Summer Travel Destinations,’ beating out some well-known cities even as it lagged in attractions and safety.
The internet wasted no time chiming in on Fresno’s latest claim to fame.
“Best thing to do in Fresno is to leave. Love my city, but damn.”
“I mean the market for meth travel is booming.”
“Come on vacation, leave on probation.”
Fresno’s high ranking owes everything to its weather, which soared to No. 2 nationwide. In nearly every other category, though, the city stumbled: No. 69 for travel costs and hassles, No. 83 for local costs, No. 77 for attractions, No. 94 for activities, and No. 88 for safety.
Yet somehow, Fresno edged past destinations like Santa Rosa, the heart of California’s wine country, as well as Seattle and Colorado Springs, Colorado.
Apparently, weather changes everything, but that did nothing to cool the internet’s relentless roasting of the California city.
