Deliciously fun times happen at Local Roots Food Tour. Enjoy a guided walking tour around downtown Sacramento's historic neighborhoods and get a behind the scenes look at local eateries. These culinary adventure guides teach you about the city's history and architecture while introducing you to the flavor of its local chefs and tasty cuisines.

It's a scientific playground at Sacramento's Powerhouse Science Center.

There's something to do and see for the whole family at this educational attraction.
