Spend some time outdoors and enjoy a nature walk at Effie Yeaw Nature Center located where the Sacramento and American rivers meet. You'll want to bring your binoculars, camera or artist pad to capture the "watchable wildlife" in the area, including wild turkeys, wild birds, deer and snakes. You're sure to appreciate nature even more at this award-winning, 77-acre environmental and cultural education center.

Slip and slide into gallons of fun at Sacramento's Raging Waters. This water-soaked attraction has just the right size splash for everyone, from taking a tranquil float down the Calypso Cooler Lazy River to catapulting down a slide through nearly five stories of heart-pounding spirals into the depths of the abyss below. Rent cabanas, eat and shop and much more!

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.

It's Calienté time at the Sacramento Festival de la Familia at Cal Expo. Celebrate nearly two dozen Latino cultures offering a spicy mix of children's activities, music, and shopping. Make a piñata, dance to Latin jazz, feast on warm Latin flavors and shop at the open-air market.
