I don’t know about anyone else, but when it comes to finding things to do in the Sacramento area, I’m not very creative. Add my inexperience at entertaining kids to that, and well, “what should we do today?” is usually resolved with a trip to Target or Home Depot.
And while there’s nothing wrong with either Target or Home Depot (I’ll vouch that both these places rock!), it’s not a good source of entertainment for a toddler.
The most comprehensive website I’ve found of Sacramento area activities is Uptake. This website searches travel sites and generates lists of things to do, complete with reviews, some pictures, and general information. The Family Activities tab alone has 115 pages of things to do and places to visit. While there are some repeats and some of the information is lacking, it is a good place to start when planning out weekend activities. There’s even a Budget Activities tab for those of us who require more economical entertainment.
Sacramento Weekend with Kids highlights six specific picks of places to take kids. This site is especially good for those just visiting the Sacramento area.
I’ve been to a few of the places highlighted on the web page; the Sacramento City Zoo (one of my favorites), the Railroad Museum, and the State Capitol are among a few. I’ll be talking about each of these in greater detail in future posts. I’ll also be taking the family to visit some of the other attractions as the year progresses and reviewing each in detail.
In the meantime, browse Uptake and let me know your thoughts. Enjoy!
