Family time is a zoo at the Sacramento Zoo, when you get up close to the wildly inspiring Giraffe Habitat, Tiger Cubs and White-faced Owls. The 14-acre landmark is home to 400 animals and 140 native, rare and endangered species. Catch special events like the Ice Cream Safari and Zoo Parent Picnic. It's a great attraction for family fun.

Find romantic harmony at Harmony Wynelands. The 18-acre family owned boutique winery is surrounded by picturesque gardens and grounds. Couples will delight in sampling award winning wines and traveling through the luscious vineyards. If you enjoy the wine that you taste, buy a bottle and continue your date at home.

Pay homage to the first American transcontinental railroad at Sacramento's California State Railroad Museum. Discover vintage railroad locomotives, cars and other equipment. Peek over the counter at the Station Master's ticket office and stand in the waiting area where you'll think you're boarding the next steam horse.
