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.

Experience romantic fine dining at the Firehouse Restaurant, housed in a historical landmark in Old Sacramento. Impress your date with the seven-course Chateau Boswell Winemaker dinner that begins on the breathtaking courtyard patio and finishes in the authentic underground wine cellar. After dinner, enjoy a stroll on the city's cobbled stone streets.

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.
