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.
Slip and slide into gallons of fun at Sacramento's Raging Waters. This water-soaked attraction has just the right size splash for everyone, from taking a tranquil float down the Calypso Cooler Lazy River to catapulting down a slide through nearly five stories of heart-pounding spirals into the depths of the abyss below. Rent cabanas, eat and shop 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.
