Ride around Old Sacramento like royalty on a horse-drawn carriage ride from the Top Hand Ranch. Regal coachmen escort sweethearts around the city to see historic Old Sacramento, gaze upon the Sacramento River and discover the steps of the front door to the State Capitol. Is there a more romantic way to see the city?

Waltz on over to the Strauss Festival of Elk Grove. Sit on the grassy knoll near the river's edge and enjoy the beautifully costumed waltz and polka dancers perform to symphonic sounds of the 32-piece Johann Strauss Jr. and family orchestra. The annual event draws an audience of 30,000, so call ahead and reserve your spot on the lawn.

Doc Holiday still drinks' booze at the River City Saloon, located in Sacramento. The outlaw hangout is a painstakingly exact replica of the saloon that stood there in the 1900's, hence the famous slogan "almost historic." You can dine, drink and get your picture taken with Doc Holiday while he drinks at the bar at this authentic Wild West stop.

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.
