Traveler Guide to Kettleman City, CA
Kettleman City is a city in Kings County in California's San Joaquin Valley. Due to its position on the I-5 roughly equidistant in time between San Francisco and Los Angeles, it's a typical place for taking a break on the brutal drive across the Central Valley.
1 Bravoland, 33341 Bernard Dr (Exit 309 from I-5). This "Western"-themed roadside attraction has a restaurant, cafe, ice cream shop, and an extensive gift shop with souvenirs, snacks and road trip supplies. More distinctive are the activities, including an arcade-like shooting range game and panning for gemstones. Makes a good rest stop on a road trip. (updated Feb 2025)
