Fun things to do in Sacramento: 50 fun attractions and activities

We visited the railway museum right when it opened and were warmly greeted by the staff as they opened the doors. The ticket prices are quite affordable, and the museum itself is clean and well-maintained. The staff and volunteers were friendly and knowledgeable — they took time to explain the history and details of the trains on display. The museum features a wide variety of train exhibits, and there’s even a dedicated floor for kids to play with model trains and watch them move around, which was a fun highlight. Parking is available either at metered street spots or in a nearby garage, which costs around $20 per day. Overall, it was an enjoyable and educational experience for both adults and kids.

When seeing a museum of mechanical engineering i absolutely believe the people that restored and continue to maintain these locomotives and cars are beyond expertise. The staff is absolutely wonderful and knowledgeable. Perfectly located in old sacramento for a whole day of fun.

Had a fantastic time at the California State Railroad Museum! As two adults, we weren’t sure what to expect, but we ended up having so much fun. The scavenger hunt was a great touch, and the exhibits are very interactive with full-size trains you can explore. The museum is well-maintained, with a lot to see and learn. Staff members are friendly and clearly passionate about what they do. A must-visit if you’re into museums or looking for a unique, engaging experience in Sacramento.

Probably one of the top five railroad museums I’ve been to in the country. Very well done, plane to read, and space for the little ones to run around too. Don’t miss the model trains and the kid play area on the second floor!

Went here on a Friday around 4pm not to crowed. Lots of history, great info, but you really need at least 2 hours not 1 hour we were speed walking, but still saw and read at least 85%. No senior or disabilities discount. May just have to go back.

Top notch experience for 1-90 years old. Real historic train carriages and locomotives on display with knowledgeable staff that will engage in interesting conversation. And that $12 per person fee is a steal which is less than half the price of nearly every museum nowadays! Second floor section is dedicated to model trains which brings smile to children. Highly recommended

Be prepared to have your mind blown! This place was a must to see with or without kids. First the cost of it was inexpensive to other museums. Child 6-17 was $6, 17+ was $12 free under 5. Interactive museums are truly the best way to learn and this was a well thought out museum. We also enjoyed that they had many old timers who knew all about the history and trains walking around as volunteers who clearly loved and enjoyed talking to kids and adults alike. The history museum is next door and was such a let down in comparison so maybe skip that one or see it first, before you go into the train museum.

During a heatwave that extended into the weekend, I was trying to think of a family activity/outing that would keep us cool. My 13 year old (who has a fondness for art & history) suggested that we visit the Crocker Art Museum. My wife and I hadn’t been in years (I believe the last time I visited was when I was in grade school), so we loved this idea and were excited! Unfortunately, this was a last minute decision, so we would only have 1.5 hours to enjoy before they closed. Upon arrival, we were greeted by a friendly employee at the desk who issued our tickets. We started at the French art exhibits, which if I’m being honest, I found to be boring and a bit depressing. However, this feeling quickly dissipated when we entered the modern art sections. One of my favorite pieces of artwork was “Empanadas Dulces/Sweet Turnovers;” something about seeing a multigenerational family coming together to accomplish one goal is beautiful to me. Overall, we enjoyed the Crocker Art Museum and are planning a return visit for the near future (this time around we’ll plan for a longer visit)!

We had a great time viewing all the wonderful art selections. The Museum had an event the day we went. It was pretty interesting. We went on Sunday. It's free or you can give a donation to enter.

The Crocker Art Museum is way bigger than we expected—there’s seriously so much to see. We didn’t even have enough time to finish the third floor! Every room is filled with beautiful artwork, from classic pieces to more modern installations. It’s the kind of place you could get lost in for hours. Definitely planning to come back soon to see the rest. Perfect spot for a date too—relaxing, inspiring, and easy to enjoy together.

Went Saturday, October 4th. Large museum, alot of different exhibit themes. 3 stories of old and modern art. Alot of native American memorabilia. Alot of polynesian ancient figurines. Alot of modern art, something pleasing for everyone. It takes a couple of hours to walkthrough all the exhibits. A great choice to spend a day, it's within walking distance to old town Sacramento.

Really enjoyed the Black Artist in America exhibit. It was great to see the diversity in the various exhibitions this museum offers. I really enjoyed it.

I had a nice time with my best friend at the art museum and I enjoyed the museum also. And I took quite alot of pictures of the art. Beautiful art.. 😃🥰

Amazing collection from time periods and variety in types of art. Carefully curated art pieces nicely positioned and placed. Beautiful display setting, lighting, spacing all done perfectly. One of the top best art museums.

Free entrance.open only weekdays. There is a gift shop but it's kind of hidden. No restaurant. MANY bathrooms on every floor. About 1/2 the rooms aren't accessible but they have the others set up as they were for their their period theme. If you like this kind of stuff definitely worth visiting. Top floor has portrates of the previous governors of the state.

A must-visit when you’re in Sacramento! The California State Capitol Museum is beautifully preserved and full of history. The architecture is stunning, from the marble hallways to the grand dome, every corner tells a story. The exhibits are well curated, offering a fascinating look into California’s political and cultural past.

This is a really interesting space and could be worth a stop if you’re in town — it’s free to enter (brief security checkpoint accessible on 2 sides), and takes just a few minutes to cruise the palatial halls and get some breathtaking neoclassical architecture! The millwork is spectacular, with carved bears on the bannisters and rich filigree on nearly every surface. If you appreciate nothing else, the craftsmanship is next level. It’s almost perpetually under construction, so be aware that not all areas are always accessible and the space is actively being used for government functions — so be respectful around the more private sections while cruising around inside. The ground floor plays host to a few historical rooms preserved for your viewing pleasure, and a small exhibit or two depending on construction. The elevators are full of gorgeous art-deco metalwork and operate relatively quickly. You can also climb the elegant stairs on one side of the main rotunda. There’s a cute gift shop and restaurant in the basement as well. This is quite a structure. If you like epic structures you’ll probably enjoy a quick stop in as I mentioned before. Grounds outside are good for photo ops too.

Interesting free self guided walk through of historic portions of the Capitol building. Current exhibits focus on historical photography in and of California. Some impressive architecture and craftsmanship to be enjoyed.

The building was amazing. The tour guild was amazing. The tour was so-so. Didn't get to see much. There is a long wall where some of the governors have their stupid, expensive painting hung up on the wall. There are 5 or 6, I believe. Not a one is hung at the same height as another. A very telling display indeed.

One of the most beautiful capitals I've visited! There is a lot of construction going on currently but you can find paid street parking. They give tours. There's a robotic coffee shop nearby that's really neat too!

Being at the capitol felt meaningful as someone from Maine to visit the Capitol of another state. They have scheduled tours during the week, usually every hour from ten in the morning until four in the afternoon. You can sign up at the information desk right inside the rotunda. Downstairs there is a small museum with exhibits and a short film about the building's history. They also have a few restored offices that show how things looked in the past. It was good. I learned a lot. Outside is a large park area, about forty acres, with guided walks available on certain days. There are trees from all over the world, war memorials, and plaques that give a sense of the state's past. It felt quiet and informative, not flashy, but steady and respectful. More than anything, it made the idea of state government feel a little more real.

It was fun we went in the morning so it was a little cooler. We bought tickets online in advance as they are cheaper and depending what day you go the price is adjusted so definitely check online. All of the animals were out and enjoying their day. Staff was super friendly and was enthusiastic.

A Small zoo, good for very young kids <7 years. Sac zoo has limited number of animal exhibits out of which a few are under renovation at the time of visit. Plan early to catch the animal feeding times fun. Usually happened between 11 am-2 pm. Zoo has good shade all over due to tall trees so a hot afternoon is fine to visit. - Big animals like Lion, Rhino, Giraffes exhibits were great! - Reptiles section had literally nothing inside except 1 Rattlesnake. - Plenty of parking space across the road. - Short electric train ride is good for kids and adults both. - Gift shop is expensive as expected. - Limited food options inside the zoo.

Throughout the years I have always thought of the Sacramento Zoo as being far too small, the enclosures for the animals too confining, but this last visit I noticed that they have made some changes that have improved the habitats greatly. I would still LOVE to see the zoo expand to give more room for the animals and maybe even more exotic animals. I would love to see more ability to learn and interact with animals that we may not experience in our daily lives (I know safety has to be considered) but to be able to get kids more interested in working and protecting wildlife I think would be awesome. Sacramento Zoo, I see you making the effort, I applaud you and hope to see more! Thank you for a great visit!

Loved this place! Decent number of unique animals, with a wonderful habitat for many. My toddler absolutely loved the flamingo area. Was pleasantly surprised that the closing hour does not equate actual closing time - whilst listed as 4pm closing, you're actually allowed to stay till 5pm. Price guide (as of Sep 2025): Entry 1 adult $27 A-Z moving animals kids book $19.52

I loved this small and cute zoo. It has a lot of cool animals like lions, giraffes, capybara, red pandas, okappi (the only living relative to giraffe). Very clean and quite. Giraffe feeding was the best experience! Recommend buying tickets days in advance as it can be much cheaper than buying at the entrance which is 27 per adult.

It was my first visit of the Sac Zoo. I was slightly regreted by the pass ticket. Based on the notice on the kiosk, it said $29 per adult (members $25), kids under 5 - free. However, we spent $77 for 2 adult and a child 4 y.o. and additionally, $3 for 3 minutes for a corusel ride. Despite on it, I was surprised how clean and non-stinky air is there. Animals are super clean, calm and friendly to people. Some of them even came very close to us. Mtake sure do not feed them by regular food. Otherwise, you will be walked out from the zoo or even banned for the further visits. There are many stuff who are watching visitors to preventing the rules violations. Some bioscientists can share cute stories about animals which their cared and studyed. We heared the story about rhinoceros, whose name is James George and who is waiting for his girlfriend's tranfer. Another gentlemen told us how they tried to de-escalate abusive relationships between parrots ("domestic violence :) ). Some animals took naps in their shelters (because it was a bit hot day - weekend afternoon) and we were unable to see them. A serpentarium is too small and there are only few animals. During our visit, we noticed that some terrariums were under renovation and it will be great to see new animals who get their cozy homes. Sac Zoo can offer an open-air conference room and there is a picnic area for some family events but you cannot bring alcohol there or to be too noisy that do not scared animals. It is a very good place to have fun activities for a whole family and groups. Highly recommend!

The Sacramento Zoo is way too small and honestly not worth the money. The experience feels rushed, and there isn’t much to see compared to other zoos. On top of that, prices are outrageous: bottled water that should be $1 is sold for around $7. Definitely disappointing for the cost.

It’s like a playground—best for kids under 5. Some fun-looking areas were closed for private events. The puppet show was excellent and made the visit worthwhile. Just check the showtime in advance. 🔹Long Review: It feels like a playground and is a good spot for kids under 5. Some areas looked fun but were closed off due to private events, so general visitors couldn’t enter. There’s a small puppet theater, and I highly recommend it. Honestly, I initially felt the visit wasn’t worth the money, but that puppet show completely changed my mind. However, the show runs only at specific times, so make sure to check the schedule before you go.

We walked and did all the little side activities in two hours. It is worth the price and the staff is very nice. They had activities for kiddos to do, they had a cool show in the theater for the kiddos to watch. My 3 year old had a blast! Parking is tricky but we did find something close. Cute well cared for animals.

It's a great place for kids. It's very interesting, there are animals inside, a theater, and much more. If you have an EBT card, you're in luck. You can get a big discount at this park with it—half the price. But you can't bring animals. We weren't allowed in with our puppy.

Took the nephews and, as expected, spent a lot of money. Between admission, snacks, and all the little extras, it adds up fast. The food was, honestly, just food. Nothing exciting, but we ate and nobody complained too much. At least we didn’t starve. The kids were all over the place—slides, little houses, farm animals, storybook stuff everywhere. It’s the kind of place that’s made for them, and they always seem to love these things no matter what. They ran around the entire time and didn’t want to leave, which I guess means it was a success.

I have loved this place since I was little. You are able to bring in your picnic lunch. Not expensive to get in. Not super busy on Sundays. Loved the little garden where my kiddos could water plants

Cute park for little ones. There are plenty of shaded areas, bathrooms, and benches for everyone. The kids enjoyed the story time key boxes and the slides in shaded areas. I saw many families having lunches on the grassy areas. Really cute park.

The fairytale town is not big but a decent place for young kids. The tickets cost $10 per person for anyone who is more than 2 years old.

Such a cool place! Focused primarily on Ford vehicles, there are some early models from before the Model T. Our two docents (Bob & John?) were incredible sources of information and my girlfriend and I just geeked about to our heart's content. (One of the museum's early supporters, Dick Ryder, was my wedding chauffeur in 1990, driving us around in his beautifully restored Pierce-Arrow {not Packard}, so it was kind of a pilgrimage for me) So, so, cool, so many gorgeous old autos, so much interesting history! Highly recommend!

Had some spare time so I thought I'd pop in here. A lot of neat older cars and some more modern ones as well. Don't think I've ever seen so many cars from the 1900s in one place. They currently have a lot of Mustangs on display. Not a bad way for a car person to spend some time.

This museum has an impressive collection of vehicles and great informational displays. I've been to Sacramento numerous times and have thought about going here but never got around to it. But this trip, I walked from Old Town Sac via the waterway (about a mile down a beautiful clean path) to finally visit, and I'm so glad I did! The docents are lovely with tons of knowledge and it just happened to be the 3rd Sunday in the month so it was Sunday Drive Day. This means, with your ticket, you get a short drive in a car of your choice (about 8 to choose from). The car for me and my partner was a 53 Bel Air. I highly recommend a visit if you are in the area!

I had an amazing time at the California Auto Museum during free museum week! The collection of classic cars is incredible, and the knowledgeable staff made the experience even more enjoyable. I've driven by his location plenty of times, I always wanted to go. I thought I'd take the opportunity to check it out doing the free museum week. It's a good learning experience for little ones if they are interested in cars. You get to see what cars look like before there were self driving cars.

I had a couple hours on a Wednesday morning to spare before a flight and thought this would fill it. I had a wayyyyy better time than I expected. The front desk folks were friendly and welcoming, and a kind gentleman offered to guide me through with some storytelling, if I was interested. There was no pressure, and I knew I might be tight for time, so I decided to view the cars on my own, but the conversation we had about the early vehicles was very cool and there’s a lot of history I never knew about. I regretted not having him guide me through the whole place. I met the owner, too, he was super friendly and was working on the cars! At the time, there were mustangs being featured, and I was able to sit in a Model A and a Mustang that day. A great memory.

Amazing place it's got all of the information on a stand about the car you're looking at. The cars are really well preserved and look brand new. You're able to get inside of a few cars and they have a fun little gift shop. 5/5 Star would recommend.

Had a wonderful time. Brought my nephews here to inspire them and they loved it. Great people and awesome cars. Def recommended.

If given the opportunity, I would highly recommend visiting the fort with a school on a field trip. It gives you an entirely different experience from the self-guided tour. This is something I did in school 30 years ago, and was also just able to experience with my daughter and her class. It's run by 4 or so state park employees, and then for field trips, the parent volunteers run the stations. This gives the kids a chance to make candles, rope, leather stamping, bake in a stone oven, churn butter, and more.

I really enjoy history. I went during the week and in the afternoon, so there was only three other people there besides myself and the park Rangers. Entrance fee was only about $5. You really do get the feel of walking into history. Everything is as it was and it feels as if you are a part of history well. It begins with an informational video. Then you walk into the courtyard and see it all staged to see how camp would have looked like. Each room is staged as it would have been. You can’t enter the rooms, only look inside them from the doors. The bottom half of the doors are closed. There is one building you can enter rich was the jail. You can walk into the forts two towers on opposite side where the canons are strategically placed to protect the fort and those in it. Nice park surrounding it with a pond, bridge going over the pond, turtles in the pond and lots of geese. The State Indian Museum is right next to it.

We visited on Saturday afternoon. The admission ticket was $5 per person. The fort was pretty big and it was a quiet place to walk. The self guided tour allowed us to explore the rooms at our own pace. There are informations about John Sutter and the history of the fort itself. We spent about 30 minutes to walk around the area.

Nice spot, well kept. Since you can’t actually go in a lot of rooms it would be nice if there was a little bit more shade. It’s a tough place to visit during the summer. I like that they are acknowledging a lot of things history of the place.

A good place to visit, parking may be a challenge, the fort was mostly reconstructed in the 1890s but the main building g is original. A 12 minute video places Sutter's Fort in a modern historical setting, adding some balance to the stories told. If you're not from California/Sacramento you might want to read up on some of the pioneering era history before coming here.

Amazing to be able to have this historic building in the middle of the city of Sacramento. Great spot for short walks, sipping coffee, having a picnic, or visiting the State Indian Museum. $5 entrance fee each.

It was an incredible experience to learn about the history of Sutter Fort. We visited all the rooms which were open to the public, viewed artifacts and watched the ranger’s demonstrate the black smith work. It’s educational experience for all ages. Worth a visit!!!

I had a truly wonderful visit to the State Indian Museum, made even more special thanks to Park Ranger Shyanne. From the moment I arrived, she was welcoming, knowledgeable, and clearly passionate about sharing the rich history and cultures of California Native peoples. Ranger Shyanne went above and beyond to answer questions and provide thoughtful, respectful insights that brought the exhibits to life. Her storytelling, cultural sensitivity, and genuine care made the experience not only educational but also deeply meaningful. If you're visiting the museum, I highly recommend taking the time to speak with her—you won’t regret it. She's a true asset to the museum and to the California State Parks team!

I found street parking just outside of the park. I paid $5 for admission into this Museum. It is very small and will take you less than 30 minutes. The bathrooms are located outside and are open to the public. There is another Museum nearby but that is a separate fee. The staff are friendly and amicable enough in their efforts to answer any questions.

Beautifully preserved historical items and pictures are very well organized. Very affordable fee to enter. A museum docent would really make the experience 5 stars. 🌟

Incredible collection of Native American artifacts, including some of Ishi's personal belongings. I would love to go back.

Basically a one room museum. Wish they had more videos or a guide to make the experience come alive. Will have to return for acorn days. My favorite part was the map showing what tribes were where. The Fort Sutter next door has more information on how the natives built the fort.

Everytime I come near the State Indian Museum or Sutter's Fort I always try to stop in. They have amazing items and gifts for everyone!

This place where in our city is probally the best little museum to visit not only because I'm Native American 😉but because it's a small but very nice place to visit with the family to learn of The Native culture. And there's so many things to see and the gift shop has very beautiful gifts ! It's also very tranquil environment out side there a water fountain in lake and Sutter Fort right across the way that is so worth visiting also. if you are a history junkie like us ! It's not borin at all! We would definitely take our family again 🤗 would of posted pics of inside but we weren't allowed to take pics inside I believe

The museum itself is rather small, but it's so worth exploring. I enjoyed reading about the history of the early Chinese immigrants, the Japanese internment, and so much more. It’s raw, honest, and immersive, using photographs and interactive storytelling to explore both triumphs and harsh realities. It spotlights California’s diverse culture and history through interactive, inclusive displays. The price is only 10 for an adult. We parked on the street.

I volunteered with an elementary class. The museum is spectacular with their beautiful paintings and historical pieces but can do so much more as far as elevating the museum historically. They include some games for kids which is great. They can track their scores and get points for participating. There were so many great exhibits and real people who represent specific events in our past. The major downside I saw was that there was some overly biased views that took away from some exhibits. One alarming comment I found was the idea that the Japanese who came to America were "survivors". They were detained, but to elevate them to "survivor" is a mockery of those refugees who faced actual interment camps across the globe. They should change this wording immediately. Social justice may seek to elevate shame upon America, but not at the expense of truth. Where are the great feats of California such as the Great Depression and the Donner Party and the dangers of reaching the West. Sutter's Fort, westward expansion? History is not meant to be sanitized in the name of social justice. For example, the gold rush is basically portrayed solely through the eyes of the Japanese that worked the mines. I did not see a mention of James Marshall anywhere.

I receive emails regarding exhibitions and events. I always buy my tickets in advance. On the weekdays there is never a line. It's a beautiful space and I love the gift shop.

Amazing experience! So much information and history available for my son to learn about. When you buy tickets it says 45 minutes but we spent well over an hour looking at the exhibits. They are interactive and there are many opportunities for kids to draw or interact with the exhibits. Loved the Unity section and the History of Japanese internment camps was very informative. The Native American section is a good place to teach the kiddos about how natives from the U.S and Mexico are one. I love the music section as well!

If you want to show your kids a little bit of our history, this is a great place to visit. Interactive and fun.

Great place to learn about the history of California. Relatively inexpensive. A great place to go in between the major attractions.

A fun afternoon at the California Museum. It was more educational and interactive than most museums I have visited. I think it would be a great place to bring kids to learn about California history. I personally would have like more artworks depicting the different sections or should I say more artwork in the style of the different sections of the museum. I had a good time and found it to be a great rainy day activity.

Old theater showing some classic movies. This is a large movie theater with plenty of seats. It's a first come type of seating. Wish it was a 35mm projector, but sadly, it's not. The venue is a classic. They've had some great concerts too. Go enjoy downtown and catch a movie 🎬.

Beautiful theater! Love the seats, so comfortable! Feels like old school glamorous Hollywood inside. The walls and the ceiling are so detailed and beautiful with gold and it just feels like historical. I have a huge appreciation for places like this that are being kept open and vibrant.

Went for the pod meets world live podcast. "The kids still wanna jump! Tour" with Rider Strong, Danielle Fishel & Will friedle. Parked in the cathedral parking lot 4 minute walk. Got in line when doors opened at 7. Line moved. Concession stand had 🍿, soda & wall of candy. Lower level half bar. Had canned beer & select liquor. I got a Bacardi Coke. The nice bartender was patient as I perused options. Seats are tight and odd numbered on the floor left side where we sat. The speaker was in the way but still had a great time as the couches were centered. Millennial friendly as they played 90s hits. Restrooms were close to the seating.

Cool old school theater, concerts are cool to see here, but movie screen needs a bigger upgrade than the typical old pull down looking projector ones. Also the seat numbers don't really match tickets I've bought and the usher is also clueless and says just go to that area... lol Overall good vibe though.

My wife and I were very appreciative of the outstanding generosity, kindness, and charitable customer care that Bob, the new owner bestowed on us when attending the Celtic Thunder performance last month. We had driven 7 hours to attend this show and were elated with both the singers and the theatre staff. It was an event that we will long remember. Thank you, again, Bob for being such a great host.

Beautifully maintained and perfectly sized. Hoping for more PBS events to attend here!

Love the nostalgia this place brings to every show we see here! My whole family enjoys coming to see a variety of different shows!

Take a trip to the past where you can learn about Jane & Leland. The furniture is beautiful and from the era where the mansion had all its glory. Intercoms located throughout the mansion for the ease of the head mistress. Don't think about taking a photo as they're highly prohibited these are from the welcome entrance and are the only ones allowed. I will tour again!

We stopped here while on vacation. This was one of my favorite stops while in California. The tour guide was very knowledgeable. The mansion is quite impressive. It is in very good condition. As someone who has remodeled old houses, I can really appreciate all the work that has gone into the house. It was hard to believe that the tour was free. I highly recommend.

Wonderful tour. Logan was great at his information of the mansion. We were not allowed to take pictures inside but it was very beautiful.

I have been coming here for years. I take my clients here for history and cultural experience. It's free! air conditioning and takes about an hour for the tour. There are bathrooms and elevators also. Amazing part of Sacramento history.

The free tour is offered every hour on the hour. It's pretty awesome to see this beautiful house. 70% of the furnishings and lights and doors and all of that are original. It's really amazing. Also cool that the governor entertains there and does work there in an office which you get to go in. None of the rooms are roped off. You can walk around during the tour and look at everything.

If you love history, especially of one of Sacramento's founding members, you'll enjoy a guided tour of this mansion. Lots of details and examples of how things were arranged and very informative for the hour I was there.

Last tour starts 1hr before they close. They will not let you in if you're not on the tour! We went at 4:30pm, they closed at 5pm. Nice garden & front entrance!

I recently visited William Land Regional Park, also known as the Lily Pond, and it truly is a hidden oasis in Sacramento. Having been to Sacramento hundreds of times, this was my first visit—and I’m so glad I finally came. The park offers plenty of free parking and beautiful, peaceful walking paths surrounded by stunning lotus flowers in full bloom. The friendly ducks wandering the grassy areas add a charming touch to the serene environment. Whether you want a relaxing stroll, a quiet moment in nature, or just a peaceful place to unwind, this park is perfect. It’s a wonderful spot for locals and visitors alike to enjoy some calm away from the city buzz. If you haven’t been, I highly recommend stopping by to experience this lovely natural retreat!

A really pretty and peaceful place. It was very clean and quiet when we visited. Not a lot of parking sat it’s by the zoo and fairytale town. You just have to drive farther down

Huge park with plenty to do. They have a park, basketball court, duck pond + more. There was a lot of shade and people were out having a blast. Definitely recommend

This was my first visit to the park with my boyfriend, and it turned out to be a delightful experience. We strolled along a scenic three-mile path, surrounded by the vibrant colors of spring as flowers bloomed and trees swayed gently in the breeze. The park was teeming with friendly faces, each person engaged in various activities—enthusiastic families cheering for players in lively baseball games, joggers gliding by with determination, and children laughing as they played on the lush green grass. The park’s location near the Sacramento Zoo only added to the charm, filling the air with the distant sounds of animals and the promise of adventure just around the corner.

A very large park with so much to do. Rock gardens are awesome, greenery is awesome there. Sad to see how many trees have gotten damaged in storms we've had lately but VERY impressed with how quickly maintenance staff had been on top of the clean up. They take really good care of this wonderful landmark of Sacramento. Restrooms are kept above average as far as cleanliness but one gripe I have is that there are no doors on the stalls in the men's room. When using a stall in a men's room it definitely warrants the comfort of having a door for everyone's benefit, in my opinion. The Land Park Golf course and the Zoo are also in the park. Specifically for the little ones, there is also Fairytale Town here and duck ponds and plenty of green spaces to run around! There is definitely something to do for people of any age and very pet friendly as well! There is definitely a large amount of cruising that happens here in the evening by people contained to their cars for the most part and centered around the WPA rock garden. It can get fairly busy after nightfall, especially on Friday and Saturday nights. Being one of the oldest, most popular and largest parks in the city, it is easy to see why this park is a definite landmark for the city of Sacramento!

It's a very nice place for a family. There is a small pond for turtles and ducks. In front of the lake there are so many different plants, some rare. This place is amazing, you can meet squirrels, butterflies, hummingbirds. So I recommend this place, you can relax with the whole family.

This place holds a special place on my heart. As a baby to now I still go here to play. It is nature, Sacramento's Central Park.

The Sacramento History Museum offers a decent glimpse into the area's past. The exhibits are informative, although some could use updates. It's a solid place to learn about local history, but it didn't quite leave a lasting impression. Worth a visit if you're in the area.

If you go to the Train Museum next door first bring your receipt to get a discount on the museum or the underground tours. Cute little museum. With discount by showing train museum receipt we paid $12 for two. It was worth it for that price. We missed the underground tour, 😢. But hopefully next time we can catch one. I didn't know about Campbell's and it's history in Sacramento so I learned something new. Staff was ok not much interaction there except purchasing tickets. Bathrooms clean. Wheelchair accessible and there is a elevator. Cute museum glad we saw it.

It was such a fun experience! I've lived in the Sacramento area for over 15 years now and I still learned more about this area! The staff are very friendly and helpful. And there's a plethora of different topics with historical items so you're bound to find something you're interested in! I came down April 5th specifically as they were holding a collaboration event with the California OES to learn more about earthquakes and how to prepare and be safe! The earthquake simulator was very fun and I learned a lot about how I can prepare for a natural disaster that comes with no warning. It was also very nice to see the printing press I've seen in so many of their official TikTok/YouTube videos. I didn't get to meet Howard this time but I did get a photo with Alex who also features in their social media posts! Overall such a good time and walking around old sac afterwards is always fun 10/10!!

What a fantastic visit to the Sacramento History Museum! The highlight was definitely our tour guide/actor—he was completely into his character and made the whole experience come alive this Saturday. His energy, humor, and storytelling made me feel like I was right there in the middle of history. Absolutely superb performance and such a fun way to learn about Sacramento’s past! The stuff allowed me to leave my backpack and bags while I explore the old downtown. 👍 👍

I paid for the underground tour tickets on our way to the museum - unnecessary; but the small museum was great. The highlight was definitely the walking tour. We did the regular underground tour they have multiple times a day, our guide was AMAZING! We had a wonderful time and I learned many things I hadn't heard before. I'd love to come back and do the later underground tour for 18+ sometime. Great visit, great history.

While their underground tour is a neat idea, the reality is you only get to see basically a block of the original city. The tour guide spent two-thirds of the time telling us a historical narrative on the character he was supposed to be, and while some might find that interesting and it was somewhat informative with regard to the historical period, I would have preferred to learn and see more of Sacramento's original lower city. The price is also expensive in relation to the experience in my opinion. Photos are also not permitted for "copyright" reasons; however, most of what tour visitors see underground is dirt flooring and brick walls.

Really cool museum! I honestly didn't have high expectations but it turned out to be a lot of fun. I learned a lot, mainly that Sacramento has a much more colorful and intriguing history than I knew about. It's also very spacious - there's a lot to explore. My 5-year-old even enjoyed it. We did the underground tour first, and it was super super interesting, and museum admission is included in your tour ticket. Recommended!

Spent the morning walking through while waiting for a flight. Area was lovely to walk around, and we enjoyed the short history bulrups. Along the corners. They were informative , but Short Which kept me from feeling like I was reading a novel. Down side to be there in there early in the morning shops were not open yet. However, there's a lovely coffee shop one could get breakfast at to kill time while you wait to shop.

Great history area. Loved the authentic, old train that you can ride on! The California train museum has so many beautiful restored locomotives and train cars that you can walk through. Also. I found the United States mail train to be extremely interesting! I did not know that the post office used to operate trains for the mail!

The Old Sacramento Waterfront is such a gem. It's full of charm, history, and great local energy. Whether you’re walking along the cobblestone streets, browsing through unique shops, or watching the river roll by, there’s always something to enjoy. One of my favorite stops is The Atrium It’s an absolute must-visit! It’s a creative hub filled with local art, sustainable brands, and friendly makers. You can shop for beautifully handcrafted pieces, sip and paint in their cozy art space, or explore the gallery to see inspiring work by local artists. It’s the perfect mix of relaxation and creativity and a wonderful way to support Sacramento’s art community. If you’re spending a day at the waterfront, make sure to carve out some time at The Atrium. You’ll leave with a full heart, maybe a handmade treasure, and definitely a smile.

We stopped in old Sacramento on our way to Lake Tahoe and had lunch and walked around the town. It was a wonderful experience. The little town was so cute and great little shops. Definitely worth stopping here one of the best capitals I have been to. It was a great way to break up the trip and had a wonderful time.

There is nothing much to do or to look in Sacramento. One of the beautiful place is Old Sacramento Waterfront area. It contains: a Historical Bridge that opens the Sac Downtown, Sac Railway street exhibition and the Railway Museum, the Watertaxi Peir and the Delta Hotel/Restaurant (Titanic Ship), old street with some restored buildings as they might have been looking decades ago, as well as a tunnel with a historical installation (Sacramento Historical Timeline). There are also a variety of souvenir shops and small cafes.

A great place to take your family or out-of-town guests to relax while exploring the Capital City's history. It's a magical feeling to drive a modern EV imported from Vietnam over a brick road built in the 1800s for horse-drawn wagons. My wife and I enjoyed walking along the boat docks from the Delta King to the other side of the golden Tower Bridge. There are many shops, waterfront restaurants, and even the California State Railroad Museum if you love old trains.

We walked around in the middle of the night so as you would expect it was an eery feeling but also very peaceful at the same time. It's actually pretty great that they have security securing the place. What's really needed in this area is a public restroom that is open during the nights

I haven't been since I was a kid in the 80s. I remembered very little, and it was truly beautiful. Most of the monuments are amazing, and the rest are great. The only downside when we went is that there is a huge Capitol Annex construction project going on, and a good chunk of the park closest to the Capitol Bldg is off limits. Thankfully, you don't really know what you're missing unless you explore it online, too. We did this as a field trip for our homeschooled 12 year old, and we all had a great time.

What a wonderful oasis in the center of the city. We loved how most of the trees and bushes were labeled with their origin and common and scientific name. There were lots of people wandering around like us, and folks with blankets on the abundant lawns. The liberty bell replica is interesting, and we really loved the powerful fireman’s memorial.

Very impressive specimen trees in the Arboretum, some around a hundred years ago. Really nice elms, eucalyptus, and camphor in particular. The rose garden was lovely and well tended. Fixing the water fountains and improving plant signage would elevate the experience.

We arrived on a weekday and everything inside was closed. There's construction going on nearby, so everything is fenced off. But we walked along a small path and it was still beautiful.

A beautiful place to visit. I wish the Governor embraces zero emission vehicles that can be refueled in less than 5 min for 400 mile driving range without straining the grid. #hydrogen #fuelcell

One of Sacramento’s most beautiful parks with hundreds of trees: redwoods, giant sequoia, magnolias, orange trees, and palms.. Excellent photo opportunities with the Capitol. The World Peace Rose Garden is so fragrant with benches to relax and enjoy the surroundings. I also liked the cactus garden. Parking is along the street, and restroom in the middle of the park. Note: There was ongoing construction around the Capitol.

As far as capital Parks go this is pretty decent but they're all rather nice I'd say this is like standard fare. One thing I love in stands out is how they have all the various fauna and other vegetative life that is not only diverse but listed with little labels on each one

Just a beautiful church. My niece was married here last month. Previous to this event we’ve had baptisms here and in memory of ceremony. I highly recommend it.

We stopped in while on vacation - tried the front doors (it was open, but you had to use the side door to the left of the main entrance) and another visitor told us the door was along the side of the building. Once inside - AMAZING. This Cathedral is done from top to bottom. So much to see, beautiful worship places and more. We prayed, looked around, etc. Beautiful place!

Love that they offer daily confessions at 11:30. Line gets long quickly so arrive early. Very quiet prayerful atmosphere to pray before 12:10pm mass. Nice quick prayerful mass. Beautiful church!

Always stunningly beautiful to see it so long after the renovation was spectacular.

Beautiful Cathedral in the heart of Downtown Sacramento! Weekday Mass is at 12:10pm, giving you just enough time to head over during the noon break. The artwork, stained glass, and statues, not yo mention the woodwork, are truly inspiring and will quickly put you into a mood of awe and reverence. I noticed several cameras and speakers, so that would make me think Masses are recorded and aired at some time. Tours are available in both English and Spanish - check the website for times. I did not see any place for parking, so that would make me believe you would need to find street parking or find a nearby garage.

Set your religion aside, stay quiet and respectful, people will be using the sanctuary for there beliefs when you visit. It has an echo so speak soft if you have to and avoid heeled shoes, it will sound like a bull is walking in boots lol. It will make your jaw drop as a work of art.

This beautiful Cathedral is by far one of my most favorite places to visit in all of Sacramento. I always feel a large, comforting presence when I enter the front door and it is so tranquil and peaceful inside. The beauty is overwhelming.

We watched Maroon 5 here! AMAZING SHOW! Section 210 Row B. Our seats were awesome! It was worth the 3 hour drive on a Friday to get here from bay area. I def prefer this place over Chase in SF. The seatin is not a steep. There's lots of restaurants within walking distance. Parking garage is next door, less than a 10 minute walk. Inside there lots of beer & alcohol vendors and different food. We had dinner at YardHouse and cookies from Insomnia cookies, so we just snacked on popcorn and bottled water during the concert. Oh they remove all caps from the sodas and waters...FYI. We'll be back!

I watched my very first NBA game here — Lakers vs Kings — and it was such an amazing experience! The exterior design is stunning, with a modern metallic finish that looks great day or night. The crowd outside was full of excitement, and everyone was wearing jerseys, taking photos, and getting ready for the game. Even though I bought one of the cheapest tickets, the view was much better than I expected — I could clearly see the players and their movements. The lighting, sound system, and energy inside the arena were absolutely incredible. The atmosphere was electric — thousands of fans cheering, the big screen showing every play in perfect clarity, and the staff were super friendly and organized. It’s definitely a must-visit spot in Sacramento if you love basketball or want to feel the real NBA energy in person! 💜💛

Great venue to see a concert, drinks can get pricey and their Bag policy is very strict although they now have a bag Check booth outside the venue. Lots of Eateries and Bars to fuel up on before your event.

We were here for the Linkin Park concert. Good quick access from all sides. Lots of doors and staff, so the huge queue moves quickly. Easy to navigate inside. We like to walk, so we left the car in a parking lot 15 minutes away, where there was plenty of space and it only cost $5.

Great experience very nice venue, also pretty good food around the area. I would recommend parking near old town near I street as the parking is cheaper at night and only a block or so away.

Buying parking ticket together with the concert ticket is very convenient. We got $15 parking for only 6mins walk from the venue.

Last night’s Playboi Carti concert at the Golden 1 Center was nothing short of electric — from the moment I parked to the final lights-out roar of the crowd, everything about this venue and experience was perfectly smooth and high-energy in all the right ways. Let’s start with parking — honestly one of the easiest concert arrivals I’ve had at a major arena. Downtown Sacramento can get chaotic on event nights, but Golden 1 Center has their system dialed in. Signs were clear, attendants were friendly and professional, and I found a spot within minutes. Leaving afterward was just as seamless — traffic flowed efficiently, and I was out of the garage and on I-5 in less than ten minutes. The moment I walked up to the arena, the vibe was unreal. The crowd energy was buzzing — people dressed in full Opium-inspired fits, camera flashes everywhere, and the bass from the sound check already rumbling through the pavement. The staff at the entrance handled the lines quickly and courteously, scanning tickets with zero hassle. Security was on point but not overbearing — friendly, efficient, and respectful. Inside, the venue itself looked immaculate. You can tell Golden 1 Center is kept in top shape — everything from the polished floors to the sparkling restrooms (yes, even mid-concert) showed how much pride the staff takes in maintaining the space. Concessions were clean, lines moved fast, and the staff kept smiles on their faces all night despite the huge crowd. I was seated in section 122, and the view was perfect — close enough to feel the energy but still wide enough to take in the full stage design. The acoustics in this arena are next-level. You could feel every bass drop from Carti’s set, but it was clean and balanced — not the usual muffled distortion you sometimes get at big shows. The lighting setup was insane: flashing strobes, blood-red beams, smoke bursts timed perfectly with the beats — the production team absolutely crushed it. And Playboi Carti himself? Pure chaos in the best possible way. The energy in that building was unreal — mosh pits breaking out, fans screaming every lyric, the floor bouncing like a living heartbeat. Every track hit harder than the last, and the transitions were flawless. You could tell Carti feeds off his crowd — the intensity, the movement, the wild sense of community that forms in those moments. One thing I really appreciated was how attentive and cool the staff were throughout. I saw employees handing out water to overheated fans, helping people find their seats, and keeping everything under control without ever killing the vibe. It felt safe, organized, and fun all at once — a perfect balance. When the show finally ended and the lights came up, the whole place was glowing. Cleanup crews were already out making sure exits stayed clear and trash was picked up — another detail that shows how well-run this venue is. Overall, Golden 1 Center delivered an A+ experience from start to finish. Easy parking, spotless facilities, organized entry, great staff, and world-class production made this one of the best concert nights I’ve had in years. If you’re planning to see a show in Sacramento, there’s no better spot than here. Thank you Golden 1 Center for hosting an unforgettable night — and thank you Playboi Carti for turning the city into a full-on inferno. Definitely a 5-star experience across the board.

No toll free access to walk and bike beautiful views of the Sacramento River and ship crossings. Location West Sacramento. Parking, hotels, food service and much more are available near by.

A lovely river path to walk and enjoy scenic views of the Tower Bridge. Additionally, it is close to Old Sacramento stores for shopping or bird watching along the way!

Meet Sacramento’s Tower Bridge—the Art Deco diva of the river. Born in the 1930s New Deal era, it’s a vertical-lift showboat whose middle section rides up like an elevator so boats can strut through. She started out juggling cars and trains (multitasking queen) before ditching the tracks in the ’60s for more lanes. And that blinding “California Gold” glow? Locals picked it—because if you’re gonna be a landmark, you might as well sparkle. 🌉✨ And sparkle it does. The bridge is home to the iconic farm to fork meal, the Tower Bridge Dinner.

Drove across the Sacramento River as the sun was setting - the bridge was glowing! A cool, old bridge - great setting in Old Sacramento!

Beautiful views of the Sacramento River from the bridge.

Tower bridge was one of my bucket lists. I was able to see it and walk across the bridge and I enjoyed every minute of it

Your visit to Tower Bridge Sacramento is guaranteed to be an unforgettable one! Note: This review is based on my personal experience and may vary from person to person.

I have visited Effie Yeaw repeatedly over the last 40 years and have always enjoyed the peaceful, widely spread out trails, the wildlife, the trees, flowers, and the American River at the far end. The dirt paths are clear and fairly level and meander through a number of different landscapes. Coming back is easy because the setting changes with the seasons and with the time of day that you visit.

It's educational. Lots of cool information and things to see. It's clean and well kept. There's a lot of trails to walk down. Be aware of critters. Bring a snack and some water and go for a nice walk and tour through the museum. Great fun! FYI.. There is a water dispenser( I'm not sure it's filtered)

Great place with easy trails and lots of wildlife. Deer were plentiful and met some helpful people along the River walk. Highly recommended.

My kids and I LOVE Effie Yeaw Nature center. There is a fun little nature play area outside. The center is amazing, with live and many taxidermy native animals. There are also nice nature trails to walk and access to the river a few minute walk away. Strollers can be used to get to the river, especially if you have a jogging stroller.

Very fun adventure outdoors learning of indigenous culture locally. And how to apply the historical tools to provide for yourself within your environment.

Family friendly for all ages. Bring your walking shoes, lots of deer and wild life to see on the trails. No dogs allowed. Dirt paths are pretty level and easy to walk. Able to walk down to the river on several trails. Good place to get outdoors, check out the nature center too , $10 fee to get into the park.

Honestly it's a great place to get away. If you like the city but hate camping, go here for a few hours. Plenty of wildlife, trees and plants to feel like your in the mountains, but next to a golf course Wait there is golf? If you have the money for that "sport" yes there is a golf club next to the wildlife center. Sometimes the deer walk out to the 8th hole! Wait there's more? Pft yeah. A huge green lawn for your dog to go wild! Fun for the whole family and more. Seriously there was like this 60 year old lady walking the trails in a mini skirt and heels. After seeing that you have no excuse to walk five feet on a dirt path to see deer.

It was a probing visit because I drove through this place many times but was unable to visit it. Aesthetically very well organised. $35 for a pass regardless ages. For this price you got credit points which can be used it for unlimited mini golf field training (just ask for equipment), baseball traiming (if you exhausted your credits, you can add more in the battle room) and in the battle room (each try is between $2.75 - $10). There is a lot of space for parties but you have to reserve it in advance). Many attractions offered rides on age-limited basis (such as Go Carts or Water Boat rides). Kids should be accompanied by adults while on board. Free parking are always available and located right at front of this Fun Center. This place is a bit expensive for all offered entertainment but it is up to your budget.

$35 gets unlimited golf 36 holes unlimited go carts unlimited bumberboats,unlimited rollercoaster,scrambler,soaring sky sled,train rides,40 tokens for arcade or batting cage and the best ride of all one time on the screamer! Best deal in all of California! Forget the fair... Dont go if it looks like rain,they shut down.Dont get wet either before you ride the big kid rides because they wont let you.chance of slipping out.Slippery when wet!

Fun place and two courses. We went at twilight-was able to see the course in daytime and with lights. Highly recommend!

The times online are not accurate. This place close a whole hour early. We travel to visit. Our visit was cut short due to the closings the park early on a weekend night. We arrived around 8pm. We paid unlimited golf and got points for rides. We did golf. Unfortunately my children were not able to rose not rides. Not sure if we will be returning. Not what we except on a weekend outing with the children.

Have been using their batting cages for a long time.But recently they've gotten dangerous. I've noticed the inconsistency in calibrating the machines over the last couple of years but recently they have been so off. And now they are no longer requiring you to wear helmets. I was so consistently adjusting my self and s got hit in the hand 2x in 15 pitches by a 60 mil per hour ball. My husband wanted to try a faster pitch and went in after me, boom 3rd pitch him too. It boused my bone and jammed it and I was in a brace for 6 weeks. I let them know all the cages were really off but cage 6 was dangerous. ( Becouse in cages we swing at everything, it is harder to adjust) I was not going to do a review, but recently speaking to some one who was there for hours. I told them my story, and they asked," Cage 6? " They said they wached 3 or more people in that cage get hit the same way. They also complained . Feal like now they have been told several times, and it was noticeable.

Mini golf was fun. We won a free drink for a hole-in-one! The bumper boats were enjoyable on a hot day but they could allow more time. My people loved driving the go-carts. They also used the batting cages. Overall I would say it is a nice activity.

Come stop by Scandia it’s a great place to bring the family for fun there mini gulf rides batting cages arcade games food drinks and fun come visit the team of great people we are always happy to help just ask we got you see you there 😃

great place to bring children to play while using their gross and fine motor skills, test their balance, and have fun with their peers. This place also offers packages for birthday parties. Two years ago, my son had his birthday here after being invited to a friend's birthday. Kids had a great time, and since then, Urban Air has become one of our favorite places for little adventure. Great customer service.

Disappointing Changes for Older and Special Needs Kids (As of 6/17/25, the bumper cars are no longer available.) I used to love Urban Air, but lately it’s really gone downhill. ESpecially for families with older kids or kids with special needs. I have two children: a 6-year-old and a 16-year-old who is autistic and developmentally around age 3. Because of his height and size, most attractions are now off limits for him. He can’t use the zip line, he doesn’t enjoy trampolines (the lack of body control causes distress), and now the one activity he felt confident doing, the bumper cars, has been removed entirely. After the bumper cars were taken out, he tried to play in the indoor play area under the zip line, but was told he had to leave because it's only for children 4’2” and under. He was devastated. Now the only thing he’s allowed to do is laser tag. That’s it. When I bought summer season passes, nothing on the website clearly stated that many attractions are restricted by height or geared mostly toward younger kids. I expected there to be more inclusive options, especially for kids who don’t fit neatly into age or height categories. It’s incredibly hard to have one child who still enjoys coming here while the other is left sitting on the sidelines, bored and excluded, unless we spend extra money at the arcade, which adds up quickly. Unfortunately, this will be our last visit. Urban Air used to be a fun, inclusive place, but it no longer offers anything meaningful for my older child. I hope they reconsider removing attractions like the bumper cars and offer more options for kids of all sizes and abilities.

The park was great, lots of fun attractions, zip line, trampolines, obstacle course, sky obstacle course, arcade games, and good food. Also has okay restrooms. But the only thing is that the announcements are really loud and the entire atmosphere is just noisy. The most people come at afternoon so just come earlier.

Julie and Mel were phenomenal with our party. Super attentive and ready to help us. Some parts of our time here got a little tense with our guests but Julie always kept her composure and was incredibly polite throughout the whole thing. Mel came by to check in on us and was ready to help with anything we needed. These two ladies totally saved our experience and our guests left happy thanks to them. Will definitely be booking here again. Thank you Julie and Mel!

We had an amazing time kids all enjoyed them selves. Our host Yesenia made the experience so much more enjoyable and smooth. I highly recommend her for any party you have at Urban Air. Thank you Yesenia! She was very attentive and helpful in making our experience one to remember.

Bought the summer membership that said it came with discounts at the cafe. But I was told they do not offer discounts when I ordered slushies for my kids. Wish they honored the deal I signed up for. Other than that, my kids have fun. Lots of different things to do! Always seems busy. Seats are uncomfortable for the parents who are there waiting. Some of the staff could use a personality. I probably won't get passes again.

I really great place to bring the kids to play for hours on end. Of course your height is gonna play a big role on what you can do. Can't wait to see the laser tag they place to open down the road. Food isn't bad also. Pizza, chicken tenders, fries and beer. Say what! The nachos had an after taste that wasn't pleasant. This place is all good and fun until somebody gets hurt and so far nobody has gotten hurt so we good. Will be back.. Update.. this place now has Lazer tag and go kart.. that's a plus but still 4 stars

Will always feel like Heaven to me!!! Beautiful variety of roses 🌹 in different colors and shapes! Stop by to do photos and capture mini moments forever 😊❤️. Sometimes when it is reserved for events and weddings, sadly guests can't go take pictures. So just be mindful if that😊💛🌹❤️

Our family has visited this lovely rose garden, nestled in the corner of Sacramento's historic McKinley Park and neighborhood, many times over the past 27 years. The best time to visit is from late spring, around Mother's Day, through mid-summer. It's a gorgeous and romantic setting, perfect for taking photos and videos. With at least 50 kinds of roses in many different color variations, it's a great place to relax by walking or simply sitting on a bench and reading a book.

Nice spot. Seems like there’s a lot of different types of roses, and there are little plaques for who donated that portion of the garden or explain explaining what type of rose you’re looking at. Only issue I noticed is that some people will have picnics right in the middle of the path clothing off entire sections. Given that the garden is a small portion a massive park. I think those people could be a little bit more considerate and have their picnic outside the rose garden.

We were in Sacramento for a day and wanted to go for a walk so we went to the park. We were here on April 19 and the roses were in bloom big time. The rose garden is huge and they have an amazing variety of colors and sizes. The fragrance was quite intoxicating.

One of the most beautiful and wonderful parks and gardens in Sacramento. It is truly a wonderful natural masterpiece for walking and children to play in.

This is so romantic 🥰.. I would recommend this place to couple, lovers, flower lovers, nature lovers, family, friends, and for kids to learn about flower. There’s a lot of varieties of rose flowers . I was hoping to get some of these seeds for sale but nothing to buy from there. But this is so lovely and good for wedding proposal or wedding photo shots .

The effort put into this garden is paying off, so beautiful!

Lots of history on this tour. Growing up in the Bay Area we’ve never been to this area. The weather was a little drizzly but the tour was fun. We had a 7 and 9 year old and they both enjoyed it. We made reservations online a week before and tickets included admission to the museum

An amazing tour on the history of gold rush, humans’ greed, resilience, ingenuity, innovation, kindness, tolerance and team work. The tour guide ( Maria ) was a nice senior lady who loved her job, was knowledgable and had a strong communication skills. That costed me only $25 for the tour and visiting the museum. Parking was available on the street for $1.75 an hours using city’s meter.

Fascinating walk beneath the old city streets. The tour guide shared local stories and it felt immersive. A little damp underground, bring shoes you don’t mind getting a bit dusty.

You learn so much from this tour and it is all so interesting (even for those that are not into history). The guide really takes you back in time and gets into character by acting as though she is someone from that time. She'll answer any question as though she was living it. It was very cool! I definitely recommend this tour for anyone visiting Sacramento, even for a last minute plan.

Good tour, the tour guide added lots of interesting info and was cool to here about how they jacked up the buildings to make them level with the newly raised streets.

Drove two hours to get here at 1pm, which was fine because the website says that the last ticket was sold at 4:30. The person at the ticket counter informed us that the last tour was at 12. They said they would "make a note of it" about the false information on the website. Get it together!

This was a fun tour. It starts at the History Museum in Old Sacramento. You get a head s set with volume control to wear during the tour. A guide dressed in 1800’s attire leads you down the street pointing out significant buildings and characters that helped to build Old Sacramento in the 1840’s-1860’s. Then you got underground where you get to see artifacts and learn how the city was raised to avoid flooding. Very interesting your.

What a gem! We had a marvelous time visiting this interesting and somehwat novel building and the tenant wineries. Clarksburg area grows some very good quality grapes and have very skilled winemakers and servers in the individual wineries. It was a pleasant experience all around. This is a unique venue and well worth the time to visit. You'll not be disappointed! They also have food trucks that come and hang out for the people server some grub. We plan to return the next time we are in the Sacramento area. 100% recommend!

We had the most incredible experience at The Old Sugar Mill for our wedding, and we can’t recommend it enough. From the moment we walked in, the venue took our breath away. The atmosphere was absolutely stunning, with its historic charm and elegant beauty. Our guests couldn't stop raving about the venue all night long! A huge shoutout to Amy, our wedding coordinator, who made the entire day run seamlessly. Amy was incredibly attentive and detail-oriented, ensuring that everything was exactly as we envisioned. She took care of every little thing, allowing us to enjoy our day without a single worry. It was clear that Amy was fully invested in making our day perfect, and she truly exceeded our expectations. Thanks to Amy and The Old Sugar Mill, our wedding day was everything we dreamed of and more. It was an unforgettable experience that we’ll cherish forever.

Highly recommend! We went on Tuesday afternoon and there were only a few other groups there when we arrived. Country Road Wine Cellars was open but most of the others had closed. We did the tasting for $15 which for 6 pours was extremely fair. They waive your tasting fee if you purchase any wine which of course we did. Our server was very nice to both our children and attentive to us when we needed something else to try.

We hosted our wedding here this month and I cannot recommend this place enough. Not only is the property beautiful, but the staff is so friendly, professional, and on top of everything. Our venue coordinator, Amy, made planning a wedding a breeze. We also had some wine tastings here for our wedding and the staff at each winery is equally welcoming and friendly. We got so many compliments from our wedding guests on our choice of venue. Our wedding was the most perfect day and a huge thank you to Old Sugar Mill for hosting.

Finally got the Girls Together!!! A mother-daughter eventful wine-tasting date which was well overdue. My 1st time here, 1st experience but, I heard all nice thing's about it. We dressed up a little and had a great time. A beautiful day to hang out together and enjoy what Old Sugar Mill has to offer. There were several wine vendors to choose from. I like that you can get a list of what is offered beforehand so you can decide on how to proceed. We chose 2 different vendors and also had a nice bite to eat on the patio area. Our only complaint would be that we'd love for them to offer indoor seating for customers that purchase food and spend the day at the venue. We had trouble finding seating so that we could eat our food and food is not allowed to be eaten in the main lobby, vestibule, or hall. We were able to get enough seats by bribing the dj outside lol! We asked if we could borrow his chair. He was really sweet. We ordered food from the various food trucks available & the soulfood truck was a hit with their Macaroni and Cheese... We had so much fun at both wine tasting spots. We even thought about ending with a wine slushy that looked so tempting but, we decided against it because we were leaving soon. I can't wait to go back and make more memories I recommend this place to all. We Had So Much Fun!!!

I absolutely loved this vineyard. Wine was delicious, food was spectacular, and the service was over the top. I definitely recommend visiting here, especially if you're into drinking wine. It's beautiful, peaceful, and romantic, I would say (come in the evening). Looking forward to coming back. 💕 Great photo op, btw! MSC

old sugar mill. It is such a beautiful mixture of a historic building and modern wine tasting shops. There are lots of wineries to choose from and they always seem to be having some sort of food event music event or both! 🥂

Kids had a blast! (8, 11, 13). Unfortunately, a field trip got in right before us...(See below) Interactive activities inside: - Flight simulator - Legos - many other tables to flex creativity (I even got involved) Downside: BEWARE OF FIELD TRIPS!!!! - Viewing planes: 20-40min to view all - Can you go in planes? NO! I believe only on certain days. But I could be wrong. - Helicopter: You could go in. But at least 80kids lined up, not today... - Flight simulator: 30min experience. Instructor has to be present with you (only 2 instructors out of the 10 simulators. Given a field trip got in before us, 30min for each kid lined up, was NOT realistic.

A hidden gem in the Sacramento area! This museum offers an impressive collection of over 40 historic aircraft, including a Grumman F-14 Tomcat and a Fairchild PT-19. The 4-acre outdoor Air Park allows visitors to get up close to these marvels of aviation history. Inside, the museum features interactive STEM exhibits and flight simulators that are both educational and entertaining for all ages. The staff is knowledgeable and passionate, enhancing the overall experience. Whether you're an aviation enthusiast or just looking for an engaging outing, this museum is a must-visit!

Want a joy ride on a jet? Or explore the cosmos? Or checkout rocket boosters? Well look no further and join me for an adventure. Let’s begin! The Aerospace Museum of California is a private non-profit aviation museum located on the grounds of the former McClellan Air Force Base. This museum features a 40,000 square foot exhibit hall, over 40 historic aircraft and rockets and flight simulators. Today, I arrived on a warm weekend morning to explore this museum. I am fond of museums especially aviation. This museum is good place to expose and teach kids about STEM programs. Moreover, this museum has great collection of aeronautical artifacts and ww2 history. Staff were knowledgeable and friendly. Admission prices were reasonable. Gift shop was modest. Parking lot has ample of space. Overall, it’s a good museum. I recommend you visit.

Went here while visiting my father on vacation. It was exciting to see my dad see 4 different aircraft he worked on while in Thailand, Vietnam and later at McClellan AFB. So much too see

We spent a great time on this amazing museum! It was very interesting and fun. It’s a great idea with “find a bear” challenge/game. Also, thanks for the worker in the wheelchair for telling us interesting facts and stories about some planes.

Fan-freaking-tastic. I've always wanted to fly most of these planes in real life, but the most I got was being able to fly them in my homebrew PC set-up with VR and a yoke. Seeing them in person though, along with the fantastic and amazing staff, made it everything I've wanted. Am I a bit autistic? Probably! Extremely thrilled about seeing an A-10 in person and an SR71 air spike? Absofreakinglutely. The ticket price isn't bad at all, and if I didn't have only an hour left in the day I would've tried the Sims if they were open. I'll be back for sure :)

Very cool museum. Easy to spend an afternoon here. Lots of planes, including some from world war. You can also go inside many of these planes with the volunteers on the field. Must visit if you are an airplane enthusiast.

It is a great option for parents with kids under 7 years old. It’s affordable, and with snack time included, they can play for 2–3 hours. No waiting, and the rides—though a bit old—still feel safe. 🔹Long Review: This is a very good choice for parents with children under the age of 7. The price is quite affordable, and if you include some time for snacks, kids can easily enjoy themselves for 2 to 3 hours. I’m not sure it’s worth staying beyond 3 hours, and I wouldn’t recommend it for kids over 7. One big plus is that there’s no waiting time—kids can ride whatever they want as much as they like. The rides are a bit old, but they don’t seem unsafe.

Funderland in Sacramento has been an iconic family destination since 1946. This small amusement park consists of 10 rides, such as merry-go-round, rollercoaster, spinning teacups, etc. The target audience is 3-10 year old children. One ride (Octopus) is only for children, and other rides (like airplanes or stagecoach) are too narrow for most adults. Entry fee is currently $17 for each adult and $24 for children. The entry fee includes unlimited rides. There are snack and sweet stands on site, but no full restaurant. Overall, it's a fun day out for families with small children.

Fun, affordable place to take your kids! Easy to find free parking. Little to no wait times for the carnival rides. Not a large park so it is easy to navigate and let the kids have fun. It’s clean, has food and drinks for sale and the staff is friendly and helpful. The kids really enjoyed it and has plenty of shade - there are picnic tables, too. The bathrooms in the park are porta potties, but it is not the type of park you will spend all day at, and the porta potties were clean. I’d definitely take my kids back again.

Absolutely a blast brought our 3 year old son he was able to ride every ride here they were all open and running zero wait time really wonderful place . Don’t listen to the negative reviews this place was great. Definitely for kids 6 and under. We spent 3 hours here and my son was never once bored very friendly staff. Went on a Friday there was face paint she did wonderful job super nice and cheap . Worth the drive and visit will be returning for sure . My husband and I were also able to ride with my son on every ride.

We made a 4 hour visit with a 30 min. picnic lunch in the park. Lines were moderate and rarely over a 5 min wait. They were having ride operators work two rides per employee so you had to time your ride choice accordingly. Employees were very accommodating and all were in good spirits and engaged with children and adults in a positive way. This is a great place to spend a half day at with plenty of other entertainment nearby. Best for children between the age of 3-8 years old but toddlers and pre teens have multiple ride options. The landscape, surface areas and tables and benches were clean and well maintained. I definitely would recommend a visit to this place.

DO NOT BOTHER COMING TO THIS PLACE!!!! Very small park. Only Kiddie rides are available. The one ride that caters to 10-12 year olds was out of service. Plane ride did not go up. Very over priced. Small Nacho, Carmel Apple, churros ect were all $9.!!!! I was asked to throw away my own snacks. I had my 19 gran kids. What a nightmare. To top it off! Concession stand only had 1 employee and no food!!! Never again I asked for compensation and it was a blatant NO!!!!

My kids had so much fun. Better than a fair.

The Sofia has some fantastic Event Spaces available for rent! As a long time patron, I just held an event in Gallery A for the first time, and I loved the experience! The room has great natural light and a patio deck attached as well! Tables, chairs, a sound system, and bar options are all available for rent, and more! The staff is beyond helpful with planning and set up. Check out their website for all the available rentable spaces. The price was super reasonable, especially for the great location! I definitely recommend using the Sofia for your next event.

Went there for a separate performance so pure logistics I can't review but as a place? Very nice. Good seats, relatively responsive bar tending staff. Good venue for the space. If you go to the opera house in down town? This seats are scores better than those.

Great theater and good parking at Sutter garage and on the street. The theater has quite a slope which means no matter how tall the person in front of you is, you still have an an unobstructed view. But it does mean your vantage point is rather high up. So lower down seats are still preferable.

Every seat in the house is a good view . It was my first time there for the urban league awards and I plan to come back.

The B Street Theatre’s production of The Art of War is a fantastic tour de force of a comedy—a perfect mirror of American culture in this moment. A very philosophical friend once reminded me that art which is truly current is vital, as it reflects and expresses the culture specific to its time. Dave Pierini’s world premiere—his screenplay and production of The Art of War—is a fine example of contemporary dramatic art. What begins as a seemingly superficial tit-for-tat drama quickly turns visceral, revealing something entirely different—surprising, entertaining, and brimming with recognizable stereotypes, sharp dialogue, and witty quips. I’m already on the lookout for the next production at the exceptional B Street Theatre.

B Street Theatre at The Sofia is truly one of Sacramento’s hidden gems! From the moment you walk in, the energy, creativity, and professionalism of this place shine through. The staff is welcoming, the seating is comfortable, and every show feels personal — you can tell the performers love what they do. I recently attended a performance and was blown away by the talent, storytelling, and stage design. The production quality rivals big-city theaters, yet it still feels intimate and connected. Whether it’s comedy, drama, or live music, B Street Theatre delivers world-class entertainment right here in Midtown Sacramento. If you’re searching for “things to do in Sacramento,” “live theater near me,” or “Sacramento performing arts,” this is the spot. They feature local and national talent, offer family-friendly shows, and even host community events. The Sofia isn’t just a theater — it’s an experience. Five stars for keeping the arts alive in Sacramento, providing amazing performances, and creating a space that inspires creativity for all ages.

We enjoy this theatre so much! The shows have been wonderful. The theatre is well maintained. I love that they do themed drinks at the bar before the show!

We have an annual membership here and the kids love it. This is an excellent interactive play museum. They have a planetarium which does space exploratory shows but also the occasional special event. We were able to watch a 45 minute show on humpback whales during our most recent visit. My kids are 5 and 7 and were entertained moving from room to room for 3 hours. We made a café pit stop as well and got some lovely snack boxes to share.

This is a wonderful place that did not disappoint! We had all ages and all capabilities and everyone was actively engaged in learning and enjoying every moment! The only thing that was unfortunate is the planetarium tickets were not included in the price of entry tickets.

The museum have a lot of interactive devices and it’s good for young kids to explore. The planetarium is great and the ticket costs $7 per person.

Great science museum, very hands-on, lots of fun and creative activities for kids. Our 7 and 10 year old love this place! Special mention for the planetarium show - the "tour of the universe" blew our minds

Little costly but definitely worth it. Plenty of parking, there's a snack deli restaurant, planetarium, exhibits. Very cool and very interesting. I saw the night sky show at 1 pm. So informative I was stoked. I will be looking up tonight because I know how to find the north star and the story of Pegasus and Andromeda. So awesome! They have music themed 7 pm laser light shows as well. And 4 different other topics i can't remember of the top of my head.

Something for everyone from olfactory and sound guessing game, nature guess who, planetarium. Building areas with plenty for so many kids, space exhibit, medical area, water conservation room with fun salmon game and animal finder games. Better than most kid/science museums that a lot of the activities or exhibits are broken or need refreshing. Occupied our family of 7y,13y,15y for 1.5 hrs until planetarium and we didn't even see everything!

We had such a fun and memorable day at MOSAC, the Sacramento Museum of Science and Curiosity...with my 14-year-old son and my almost 2-year-old grandson. It’s the perfect spot for a family outing with something for every age. My son was fascinated by the hands-on exhibits, especially in the Powering Change and Health Headlines areas. My grandson was full of giggles the entire time, but his absolute favorite part? The sound of someone sneezing in one of the interactive displays! He kept going back to hear it again and again, it totally made our day. The museum is clean, thoughtfully designed, and packed with opportunities to explore, learn, and have fun. Highly recommend MOSAC for families...whether you’ve got teens, toddlers, or anyone in between.

This place has a wonderful collection of medical technology used throughout the last couple of centuries. Plus, one of the only working vintage iron lungs around. GET VACCINATED, KIDS!

This place is a gem! Tucked away in a place that is out of the way, it is one of the most interesting places my wife and I have ever been. We easily spent an hour and never saw everything! If you have ever experienced a medical experience in your life, you will appreciate what you will see! The price of admission is free, but the experience is priceless!!!

I recently took my class to the medical museum so they can get a look at how medicine was and what we have accomplished throughout the years. Below is some feedback of what it was like through their eyes "I found yesterdays trip very eye opening because it seems surreal how before things used to be so different. Technology has improved so much as time has passed by so it was very interesting to see all the things used before and compare them to things we use now." "The museum of medical history was excellent! I really enjoyed getting to look at all of the old medical devices, especially the cardiac section. The doctors were also so nice and very informative and answered all our questions. Would love to go back and take my family with me." "I really enjoyed how the doctors allowed us to walk around freely and if we had questions they knew it all. I also enjoyed seeing the evolution of how medicine has advanced throughout the years." "The things I enjoyed at the medical museum we went to yesterday was the assort of different kinds of medication and medical equipment through the years. I really like the very first presentation of the iron lung and how it worked. I also enjoyed hearing the gentleman yesterday talk about their experience growing up." "I had a very good time during yesterdays trip. I enjoyed seeing how different tools in medicine were used back then and how they've greatly improved now in some aspects. I only wish we could have spent more time at the museum!" "I think that yesterday was a really good experience for me because I got to see how medicine has advanced and to me learning the history and getting to ask the doctors questions was a great opportunity. I wish we had more time their to explore and look around more so I will be going back!" "The museum of medical history was a brilliant idea of demonstrating how was the old medicine. Seen all these types of medication the old books. It comes to my mind that back in the days it was more difficult for the doctor to examine the patients. Because now days with technology and how advance is easier to identify a disease." "The advancements in prescription medicine that I thought were the most fascinating. A law prohibiting these medications from being lethal has to be implemented. We saw that at the time, heroin and whiskey were regarded as prescription drugs." "What I really enjoy in yesterdays trip was the back ground of everything we saw there. The doctors had a lot of knowledge of the things that were on the museum and the was so amazing to me. The fact that they know so much and they weren't there when the items were fist introduce yet they know so much like if they were there. I love how they took their time and explain everything with such passion." "What I loved from visiting the museum was getting all the new knowledge about the past and how they used to do things before us. I loved seeing all the old medicine bottles, injections, EKG machines, stethoscope, old items for testing diabetes and much more. I also, enjoyed how the doctors were explaining to us the items they had there and their background on how they were used before. Its amazing how much knowledge they have and shared with us." "I really like visiting the museum yesterday and looking at all the old things that were used in the medical field. I really loved seeing the old needles, outfits scales, medicines, stethoscopes and found them really cool. I also found the iron lung really cool what it was used for and how it works." "I was very amazed with all the natural history and everything that I was able to see at the Museum yesterday. Specially the all the old medical instruments and the advancements we have had. I wish we could have had more time to actually go over every single and get more details on the anatomy." Thank you for allowing us to come in! We look forward to future visits! -Ms. K UEI Stockton

My friend and I loved this place! Such a great place nerd out for an hour or 2. If you’re in the medical field or enjoy learning about history, then it’s a must go. They have a little of everything medical, and such much different equipment. There’s a lot there. I learned so much and gained such an appreciation for how far medicine has come. I loved it so much that I couldn’t stop until I read everything in the exhibit. Plus it was free to get in with no crowds.

Very interesting little museum with lots to see. We loved it all! We kept going back to the same displays because there were so many details to read and learn about. Makes you grateful for modern medicine but also makes you wonder what the future generations will say about our understanding of "modern medicine".

Very interesting and informative museum. A gem tucked into a residential area. Easy to get to

The museum of medical history is a hidden gem worth seeking out and spending an hour. Great museum, small, well organized, eye catching smartly grouped displays of medical history items from the early wild western days of Sacramento through mid-modern century. Super Engaging and knowledgeable docent, Dr. Bob LaPerriere to show you round some of the highlights. Each display has an easy to read interesting explanation, or you can open a QR code to listen to a narrative.

Good spot to watch movies in sacramento than any other theater ! Love we can bring our own food drinks and watch at our own comfort! Since its a open theater the clarity of the projection is little low ! but down the movie went we dint notice that much . definitely a good movie experience . Will watch again

I’ll start this review saying I am biased towards this place because I’ve been coming since I was little and the nostalgia is strong. I love that there is a drive-in movie theatre so close by considered the next nearest one is 50 miles away in Concord. This place is an iconic landmark in my opinion and I rush being able to experience this in a world where movies are becoming more technologically sophisticated and expensive. I’m not sure when but they paved the parking ground so it’s not long just straight gravel and dirt like before which is really nice!! The reviews mention difficulty with seeing the movie, rowdy people around, and the concession stand being a mess. I was able to see and hear the movie just fine during my recent visit and there wasn’t rowdy people near us so I think that’s just a situational experience. Keep in mind noisy people are also at the closed off theaters too and you can close yourself off in your car if you want. The concession stand was very packed and they were behind on orders. My friend had to wait a really long time for her food, I’d recommend bringing your own snacks/food and then ordering ahead of time if you are getting stuff here. I also really really advise on getting here 30-40 minutes before your movie so you can get through the line and find your ideal parking spot. The lines get full and back up quick. My recent visit was for a friend birthday and they put a birthday message on the big sign and were supposed to play a message on the radio but I don’t think that ever happened. I really hope in the future the owner can put more money and time into streamlining the concession stand so people can have a better experience. Check this place out at least once you never know if you’ll be able to in the future!

One great thing I can say about this theater is NOSTALGIA! Feels like flashbacks from being there when I was a kid in the 80s. Issues - I find it odd that lotsss of people aren't coherent or maybe mentally aware? That they have on their headlights, or maybe they really just don't care?... That is a main issue almost every time I come here. Also sometimes you get the rowdy individuals that meet up there and stand outside of their cars drinking and smoking and laughing loud during the movie, that can be a pain and make you not want to come back. Security is walking around but he never does or says anything about either of those issues lol. The projection isn't the clearest but it's not terribly blurry but the focus and centering the film on the screen could be improved. Snack bar is clean and amazing! Very ole school and some stuff is still there from back in the day just not working lol but it's ok, I love the snack bar. I'll keep coming back to enjoy a movie 🍿 but if those few things were fixed this place would be A+. I'm just glad it's still here and not out of business or torn down like everything else. Thank you for still being here!

Used to love this place because it’s one of the only drive ins around. But tonight, we wanted to get out of the house and relax, so we went to go see Weapons and literally the WHOLE time.. someone had their lights on.. could barely see anything at all. When we finally got sick of it and went to get a refund and leave, they refused to refund us. Spent $50 for shit quality and to leave early because no one would fix the problem and then couldn’t even get our money back.

Have been going here for years and I must say I’m pleased with the improvements. Screens show clear the food and wine bar is clean and there’s a large selection of food and snack items to choose from. Bathrooms are always clean and private. If you’re looking for a cool night out with the family to watch a good movie you won’t be disappointed.

It was awesome Good vibes, nice reception, clear screens, nice people, not overly crowded. I had the cheese pizza it was ok, someone had nachos that look so good! #likefollowshare Ayanna1981@ig, mellomello@tiktok

Since the renovation, I have loved this place. Everything is pavement, no dirt. The concession stand is huge and really quite nice, good selection. A few crafters set up there and sell handmade goods. Has a bar and grill too inside. Bathrooms have many stalls, almost always clean. Radio frequency is crystal clear. I've only seen children's movies here with my daughter, and the crowd on our screen is all friendly families. Not sure what the crowd is like on screens showing adult movies. Highly recommend for a fun night with your kids. Plus, you can talk during the movie, unlike typical theaters.

This is a very fun and cute date night spot! There are 18 holes and some have a spinning wheel to make it more challenging. They also occasionally have deals like free mini golf on your birthday or cracker jacks if you show an A’s ticket. Props to Matthew Trammel for doing such great work on all of the murals throughout the course.

Today my daughters and I tried out the Underground Mini Golf and it was a lot of fun even though the holes are short and fairly small it was still a lot of fun going through the course. My only gripe is the price for 2 adults and 2 children $76 (Parent, 14yr old, 9yr and 5yr) and you can go through it in maybe 30-45 mins outside Scandia or Golfland SunSplash may be better..We all had a lot of fun it was Enjoyable!!

A really nice indoor mini golf course! The western theme is detailed throughout the course - it’s really cute! Good family fun and can see it as a cute date night - you can buy drinks there for the course. Came during a rainy day so it was just us most of the time.

So much fun!! Not too long but long enough to enjoy, adorable decor and has AC so it’s not hot inside.

Hidden gem in old town Sac. Discovered this place on a visit to see the A’s. Located in the basement of a historic hotel, the 18 holes are well maintained with good music and friendly staff. Well worth the stop!

It was a cool spot. Never done indoor mini golf. It was cool to have things to look at while waiting your turn.

Such a cool golf course with some unique holes! Perfect for friends, family, or date night! Amir was a great employee and I loved that there were free lockers so you could enjoy your game without holding everything! I like how some holes had challenges where you had an opponent block your spot or subtract one from your score!

Nice relaxing experience and a great day for our grandson (5). He was invited by the super-nice captain to sit in the Captain's chair and steer the boat. He was so thrilled!. Other aspects: It's always nice to be on the water and there is a lot of little things to see - but let's face it: Sacramento is not San Francisco, Boston or New York, so don't expect spectacular sights. It was still fun to observe other watercraft and daring jet skiers passe by, marvel about the different colors of American and Sacramento river and enjoy the calm wooded banks. The crew was friendly and the bar was - not unexpectedly - quite expensive. The inside of the boat feels a little dated and there could be more outdoor space. Overall a good experience.

July 12th I got invited on a cruise and omg I had a wonderful time . Unforgettable I swear! Meeting the captain was probably one of the best moments!!!! I definitely will be returning with my family and children!!! Thanks so much to everyone yesterday! We loved it

Went on cruise July 17th..see receipt. This is a one hour tour aboard the Hornblower. Easiest way is to take the elevator out front of Delta King and then walk straight to the boat ( no steps or stairs!). It's a no frills excursion but I love history so i found it interesting. There is a enclosed main deck with air conditioning or you can go upstairs for a more open atmosphere. They serve cocktails ( i got the bikini martini and my boyfriend got a margarita). Just know they will be a bit pricey. We got some chips and salsa but the chips were stale and broken so we left them. I would suggest bringing your own snacks since it's only an hour. We did enjoy sipping on the cocktails! It's a relaxing tour which gives you a better insight from the boat. This tour appeared to be good for much older people as well as children. Its only 32 bucks per person so it's a good value!

Went with my group of 5 for my cousin’s birthday. It was actually a nice experience. The employees were very friendly and informative. The DJ was okay, he plays a large variety but it’s cool. Drinks weren’t severely overpriced and there’s little snacks you can get like nachos and chips. overall, it’s a good time. I didn’t take a lot of pictures of the boat but.. it’s a boat lol. the views were nice tho

Had so much fun on this cruise definitely worth the money. An hour and a half of cruising the Sacramento River. The drinks were great food was okay. And there was lots of areas on the boat that you could go to be alone. The music was fun and everyone was dancing. I definitely will be doing this again!

I bought a Groupon and took my mom on this wonderful tour. We went at 2 pm on Halloween and it was perfect. The weather was wonderful...just a nice day. They boarded us 30 minutes before we left. We were the first in line so we raced to the top balcony for the best view. They have seating up there as well as seating inside the boat. They had music playing and a small bar area where you could purchase drinks and snacks. The cruise went down past Chevy then turned around and went up the river the other way. The view was beautiful...the cruise was a lot of fun. I would for sure recommend this for you to try. We had a wonderful time.

Had a lovely experience, the captain and crew were pleasant and knowledgeable and made the cruise very enjoyable for everyone in attendance. I would totally recommend it to anyone inquiring about things to do while in Sacramento, we've lived here for 20+ years and found it to be an awesome birthday gift if you are looking for something different to do here in town.

A wonderful host venue for the Oak Park Black Film Festival.

The Jury Experience is a worthy experience! The audience is the jury for a trial and gets to participate throughout the play, not just the ending vote on guilt or innocence. The topic is AI - a self-driving car kills a bike rider swerving to avoid a head-on collision. Morality and ethical questions arise and the character of the inventor is suspect. The cast of five did a good job. The Guild theater is a funky old building with a good balcony, but was filthy.

We were there for a candle light concert and it was amazing

Great musicians playing iconic music from Hitchcock and other scary movies.

Love the candlelight venue. Quite the experience. Would recommend!

It was a nice place and we enjoyed the movie

Magical experience, loved by all!

This place is really, really amazing. If there was a rating of more than five stars, I would have rated it more than that. This is really a very beautiful place to walk. And play with children. And fresh air.

I used to go to this park 40+years ago as a child to swim and play at the park. Such an awesome trip down memory lane. The pool was amazing and it had a fun vibe and atmosphere. The playground has a different set up, geared more towards safety which is nice. The pond and surrounding area has nice places to sit and relax watch the geese in the sun and out the sun. Nice bathrooms as well.

By far one of my most favorite parks ever... The playground is Amazing , the modernized "merry go round" is fun for all ages... We used to play tag at this park when we were little and go swimming in the public pools... It's nice to see the Rose Garden so beautifully maintained and all the upgrades, including the public Volley Ball nets, picnic tables and bathrooms. Great place for Tennis lovers and hanging out with the squirrels and ducks will never get old. I highly recommend anyone with kids to visit and play together, as well as anyone who just wants to reconnect with nature in a park setting.

Great park with a good playground with lots of shade. There's a rose garden and a pond to relax by and lots of benches and places to sit on the grass

Nice large park. Only issue is the amount of geese poop. It’s insane. Completely covers massive areas. More frequent cleaning of a small street cleaner would be nice.

Very nice park for people of all ages! This is my favorite park in Sac because there's so much to do here. There's a cute duck and geese pond, a rose garden (featured in the movie Ladybird btw!) tennis courts, volleyball nets, a playground, a pool, and a library all right there! There's plenty of places to hang out or have a picnic, although parking can be a hassle.

A very nice park providing place for activities like football and tennis and swimming and a place for quiet contemplation. Also home to the Clooney Community Center with a branch of the Sacramento County Public Library

I’ve been to Discovery Park only a couple of times for music events and it’s been a good experience. The park is very big, lots of grass areas, trees, tables, and a bike trail. When there are events being put on it seems the park is kept very clean and ready for people, not sure about the other days of the year. The last time I came here was for the Sol Blume festival in 2023. The event was held in August instead of the original date in April I believe due to the park flooding. So that’s something to keep in mind, the park does flood when we are experiencing heavy rainfall! I’ll have to spend more time at the park throughout the year to get a better sense of the area.

Discovery Park is a massive area with bike trails, picnic spots, and plenty of shade, which made it really family-friendly. We brought our little one and had no problem finding space to relax and enjoy the outdoors. The park is shared by lots of different people, including some unhoused neighbors, but everyone was just enjoying the space peacefully. Overall, it’s a welcoming spot to bike, picnic, or spend time outside with family.

Discovery Park is one of the major park just outside of downtown Sacramento and often holds events and concerts. This coming October 2025, the biggest concert event of the year for the entire Sacramento County will be held at this park. There are a lot of picnic tables, restrooms albeit temporarily replaced with porta potties, barbecue grills, shades, and geese and blackberries!! It also has an archery range and boat ramps. There's lot of open spaces so it can be ideal for some holiday celebration like 4th of July independence. Some picnic tables are well shaded by trees. There's also the American River bike trail that passes through the park. On the downside, a freeway overpass/bridge cuts through the middle of the park so if you're in a nearby picnic table, the automobile noise can be quite audible and annoying. Lots of geese poops along the trail and the grass in the open area so be mindful of your steps. Homeless is another issue but these folks have been pushed away by the city many times specially in recent years and have been doing their best to stay out of sight. There are a few that keeps coming back and leaves quite an amount of trash along the bike trail across the river. A lot of homeless though keep to themselves and are non violent contrary to the stereotypes and are just going day to day to survive. Of course there's gonna be a few bad apples but only represents a very tiny fraction of the entire homeless community.

Aftershock at Discovery Park is phenomenal! Always a great time. Plenty of shade, picnic area to sit, layout is great, and Music on point!

Had an amazing time at Aftershock! 🤘🏼 The energy was unreal, the lineup was stacked, and the crowd vibes were nothing but good. What really stood out though was how clean and well-organized the venue was — seriously impressive for a festival this big. The staff and security were super friendly and helpful all weekend, which made everything run so smoothly. Food and drink lines moved fast, bathrooms were kept surprisingly clean, and the overall setup made it easy to get around. Already counting down to next year — Discovery Park & Aftershock definitely know how to do it right! 🔥🎶

Great park. I should go more often. Google is prompting me to review because I attended Aftershock. You have the confluence of the American and Sacramento Rivers here. Dangerous currents but good fishing. Beautiful place to hang out. Aftershock was great as well.

Visited for Aftershock 2025 Discovery Park is an excellent venue for such, with the only real flaw a lack of easy entry/exit to the venue when opening and closing. Great layout with plenty of space to roam, plenty of shade and excellent security staffing.

Saw West Side Story there last night. It was my first time there, and it was a great experience and show! Loved the circular seating, which gives everyone a great seat. The stage is small, which had me wondering how they would be able to do such an iconic dance musical. They used the stage, high platforms and the aisles used to reach the seats! With aisle seats the actors rushed past and when a scene was over in the dark props were changed. Not that there were a lot of props. The perfect amount. I heard from a couple whose granddaughter was in the play that this was only being shown in Sacramento. They came from Arizona to see her. She is going back to New York since this show is over. I'm very curious how this theater works now. Since I wondered at the start how a show could adapt to a round stage/theater. Definitely a good evening and looking forward to going again!

The West Side Story Musical Play was beautifully performed at the Davis Theater. It was my first time going. There were no bad seats. Our South Natomas Community Center Seniors enjoyed themselves immensely. KUDOS to the performers and establishment staff workers. Sorry, I didn't take photos. I recommend this Theater and the West Side Story Play. Tissues are required.

Broadway Sacramento always delivers an incredible theater experience! The productions are high-quality, with amazing performances, stunning sets, and great sound. The venue is clean and well-maintained, and the staff is friendly and helpful. Whether it’s a musical or a play, every show feels magical. A must-visit spot for live entertainment in Sacramento!

Attempted to purchase 3 tickets to see Moulin Rouge, what a joke. Broadway Sacramento clearly caters to customers that can afford to purchase group tickets(later to sell what they won't use at an enormous price)! I was on the site to purchase exactly when available to find out there were NO two or three seats available together on any day. I cannot afford to spend over $1000 plus on three tickets. So I guess the shows that you offer are for the wealthy. Thanks

Enjoyed a great production of "The Music Man" on a Wednesday evening and there were very few empty seats. The round stage affords everyone a good experience and now I know which seats to look for the next time for the best view. But the way they used all four ramps to the round stage that moves and a large company of very talented players was really good. Very clever set pieces and a hustling stage crew did a good job and I was immersed in the story the whole time. All of the players performances were exciting and stirring and the young people were especially amazing. We were 3 rows behind the orchestra pit so that was an added show within the show! Costumes were really well done and the sound system was excellent. Parking was a breeze right across the street and we enjoyed Nachos and 3 tacos at nearby Chandos just before the show. Very possible I will become a season ticket buyer if I can get the right seats!

Such a fun venue for seeing musicals. Pre-show and intermission drinks and concessions are available, and are reasonably priced. We've seen "Cabaret" and "Nice Work If You Can Get It" here, and the acting, sets, and music were all top notch. I have no doubt we'll see more shows here next season. Ticket prices are reasonable, and there really isn't a bad seat in the house.

We got the season passes for the summer season and I can say with 100 percent confidence that it was completely worth it. Each show has been magical to say the least. The lighting design and stage set up is always astounding and serves to further the already amazing performance. These aren't picture perfect plays, but they are magnificent and honestly it's the little flaws that make the performance that more captivating and immersive. I regularly recommend going here.

What an amazing show. We ordered tickets to watch the Christmas Carol and it was comical and delightful to see. Entrance is at the ticket booth where we picked up our tickets. They require vaccination proof which was reassuring to be around so many people in close quarters. It’s insanely freezing inside the theater so bundle up, bring a winter coat, gloves, beanie, and a blanket. Parking is on the street.

Great place to watch local theater. In the main stage, rows A, C and K are a bit higher than the other rows. Row J is the first row J of the second section and it's ok, but foot traffic can be an issue. This place also has two bathrooms for women and one for men. You can bring food and drink into the theater, but they ask that you don't eat during the show. On street parking is plentiful, but the city aggressively tickets. Large parking lot just across from theater. TV in the lounge area displaying show in real time so you don't miss a scene.

I visited for the first time with my mother and took her to see All That Jazz. Excellent production. The area was kept up and gorgeous and a parking garage was directly across the street. It is handicap accessible and everyone was super friendly. I will be returning. Wonderful entertainment. 👍

Nice little local theater! Visited to watch one of our family friends in a production of The Rainbow Fish. Great little production for kids and really enjoyed the small intimate setting. Regarding location, there is a garage right across from the theater which usually has some parking specials for events. The production was in the smaller theater to the side, from what I can tell, they seem to have larger productions on the bigger stage. Outside the theater there was lots of seating and areas to take photos with your little ones after they have finished their production They did some drinks and snacks to purchase as well as some items you can buy that support the theater company. Not very much for the specific events but I can imagine this varies depending on what you are watching. There are food and drink options around so still a great spot to be located at.

One of the best theaters, ever! The performers are always the best! My husband and I have seen two productions here and we've loved them!

Had an awesome experience here. We saw “ murder on the Orient express “ In my opinion it was AWSOME!!!! We will be back to see other performances.

We have been here before but never left a review until now. We saw Murder on the Orient Express today. It was a fun play. We are big Agatha Christie\Poirot fans. So it was interesting to see their take on it. The theater is really nice inside. We were a little late and the staff were great about helping us find our seats. We're looking forward to our next play there.

Absolutely loved the knowledgeable staff! Every single drop was incredible, so wonderful we joined their club.

The weather was warm when we were in town so this was a nice break from the heat. Great selections of wine.

The prices of the wines offered here are quite pricey. However they offer splendid varietals and blends. It costs $12.50 for 7 wines to taste mix and match. $5 OFF if you buy a bottle. The server manager was quite knowledgeable and nice. I liked the Zinfandel and Cab Franc the best both 2015 vintage. They have food available if you reserve ahead.

First time here. My friend and I went before valentines day. Had cute decor set up for the occasion. The wines were okay. Only thing that had me give two stars was the locks to the men's and women's bathroom were broken so anyone could of walked in on anyone. Luckily my friend was with me. For this reason I most likely won't be coming back.

I have an update about the tasting room… I joined or I thought I did. Come to find out the young man that took our membership, left the job… So me and a few other people were never members. So when I didn’t get an email nor a text nor nothing in the mail, I went up to the tasting room 2 weeks in a row, no one was there, and then I called, to be told someone would get back to me and they never did. I am now glad I did not become a member, because it looks like they have to find someone willing to stay and work that area. It is still a cool spot to sit with a friend or a book and have a glass of wine. I still went and had a glass of wine, and bought a bottle to go…

Fabulous experience! Owners Chuck and Yvette are very gracious hosts. This is an adorable little tasting room on a lower level of Old Sacramento. It has the brick and old oak look of the Gold Rush era, with the refinement of a Napa winery. Fascinating and tasty gift jams and cheeses adorn the surroundings.The tasting bar is cozy and comfortable, and the Twisted Twig wine is wonderful. My wife and I favored the Petite Syrah. My wife does not like wine but she loved this vintage! If your ever in the Old Sacramento area do yourself a favor and visit this place, and tell them Patrick sent you :-)

Had a wonderful tasting with Evette. Had 7 different wines and left with 4 bottles purchased. Both wineries had super unique styles and my favorite was Petite Syrah. Absolutely worth it!

Dog shit literally everywhere and no seating to be seen PS- came back to say "damn. Molasses all over? Oh yeah no its poop. Everywhere." Came back with waterproof shoes to give it a second chance. Scooter has been mowed around even... more than once it looks In closing... there are outdoor bathrooms!.....right next to th4 l0vkrr bathroom. Clean this shit up, literally, and fix the bathroom. This park is a disgrace right now absolutely.....another scooter on the way out. I see why everyone poops in the bushes here, when you look far away(the river view) its aaaallllllmost nope still not acceptable. Fix it..... cmon. Do it

For spots to walk at the river in Sacramento, I definitely give this one 3 out of 5 stars. The geese are always waddling around looking for food and often the elephant seals are posted on the boat docks yelling at each-other. And if you want to go little farther, walking across the Sacramento bridge is beautiful and old Sac is is right around the corner. It has plenty of little shops that seem to have been there since the 90’s, but some the history is interesting.

Nice scenic walk with views along the river. Views of historical old sacramento, the skyline, Delta King & tower bride. You can even catch a glimpse of the sea lions stretched out on the dock basquing in the sun!

Beautiful area around the lake and you can walk on the bridge towards the Sacramento museum and train Museum

Nice place, peaceful, beautiful, but a lot of homeless people..

This is a very nice park conveniently located right across the river from Old Town Sacramento. It's nice to walk around and nice to photograph. You can take really good photos of Old Town Sacramento from across the river.

We were visiting and went for a walk after dinner. This is a great place to walk with many sign boards to read along the way. The water was very high so it was hard to tell where some of the walkways went as they disappeared into the water. A few homeless people camped out but they were not bothering anyone. Nice to see the walkway being used by families and runners.

Amazing 10/10 experience. Intricate and extremely interactive puzzles with a shockingly immersive atmosphere. Went for my birthday and did Containment Breach with 5 people and had an absolute blast. So much so that after dinner 3 of us returned to give The Collection a go! Special thank you to Koya and Austin for being amazing game masters. We will absolutely be returning to complete every escape room available at this location. (Zero Spoiler Photos Included. Come experience it yourself!)

We just finished the Containment Breach with 04:29 left on the clock! We had a blast! Our Game Master was Austin. Austin was awesome! We're looking forward to coming back again and checking out one of the other games! Highly recommend this escape room!

Such a fun experience! We decided to go with the Containment breach theme & it was definitely challenging for our group of 8 LOL. Really had us using our brain to try to figure things out. Such a fun experience, staff was super nice & easy to interact with! We all def will be coming back again we’re excited for the haunted mansion one. Thanks for popping our escape room cherry lol

HAD AN ABSOLUTE BLAST TONIGHT DOING 2 ROOMS!!!! Skull Witch was absolutely spooky and mind boggling!!! Our Game Masters, Austin and Mariah were amazing and hilarious!!! Definitely want to come back and solve more rooms!!!

Do the Skull Witch room. Best escape room experience I’ve ever had. Went with a group of 6. Hard to beat this room. Very creative. Really great job by the people who put this room together. Bring the smarties with you.

We have done over 50+ escape rooms and Avalon is the best game master we have ever had! So sweet and funny and most importantly patient with our rambunctious group. We played The Collection and this is one of the most high tech escape rooms we have done, there were no physical locks in the room! It was definitely a challenge and without Avalon’s help we would have been screwed lol. Great experience, 10/10.

Fantastic place, fantastic game master (Avalon). We just did the toy shop room. A lot of times we were off track. It was unbearable. Had to train our minds when we were out of steam. We were training for this moment. Sometimes we were quite puzzled. We took many risks even though we felt like we were being toyed with. But at the end, we were tooooo good for it. (We had two minutes left.) But jokes aside, we highly recommended this place. Had a blast!
