JRs Texas Bar-b-que

Forget about paint by numbers at Sacramento's ArtBeast! This children's drop in art studio has oodles of craft supplies, buckets of paint and creative space for a little artist's hands to create works of art. There's a playhouse for dress up and an outdoor space for snacks and water play.

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.

Hang out at The Park Ultra Lounge for a nightlife experience of sophisticated partying. Sit on a plush sofa near an outdoor fireplace, in a private booth or VIP room. Enjoy drinking fine wines or champagnes while dining on trendy gourmet delights. Step out onto the floor to dance to disco, salsa, jazz and more.

All aboard! You'll enjoy the River Fox Train rides that are a combination of scenery, food and entertainment. Patrons can get in the middle of a Wild West adventure and eat BBQ at a park along the way. Check out other tours like Summer Scenic, Murder Mystery Dinner, and Sunset Happy Hour.
