Tree huggers unite at the Sacramento Capitol Park. Thousands of species of trees occupy the park, some of them as old as Thomas Jefferson. The capital state park is home to majestic red oak trees, hundreds of unusual plants, and well manicured gardens that wind through the popular pathways used by local walkers and joggers. This park is California's rendition of an outdoor paradise.

Kid's fairytales come alive at Fairytale Town. The whimsical park is lined with brightly colored storybook-inspired play sets and attractions like King Arthur's Castle and the Old Woman Who Lived in a Shoe Slide. Children's imaginations bring to life their favorite nursery rhymes and the outdoor museum tickles their interest in art, gardening, puppet shows and much more.

Come by and check out Sacramento's Capitol Garage. With beer on tap and plenty of mixed drinks, it's especially popular with local musicians and has open jazz jams during the week. You can also order grub from a menu as varied as its local talent. It's a great destination for the laid-back nightlife you're looking for.

Hidden in the heart of downtown Sacramento, The Inn and Spa at Parkside is a chic and elegant mansion and spa. Your urban oasis is complete with gourmet breakfasts, Italian arias, and candlelit evenings. While visiting Parkside, you're just a stone's throw from the California State Capital and an hour away from Lake Tahoe.
