Sometimes, art is best appreciated by just wandering from one exhibit to another and letting the visual impact of the work take hold of your senses. That is exactly what you can expect at Stockton's Haggin Museum. Featuring a balance between art and historic pieces, the Haggin does an impressive job of spotlighting the work of many notable American and European artists. The venue also encourages individual artistic expression with its many classes and seminars that are designed to deepen every visitor's appreciation and love for art.

West Lane Bowl has been in business since 1960, and that impressive fact means that they have been providing several generations of bowlers in Stockton the best place to play the game that they love. A great game room, a friendly staff and a nicely-stocked concession area all help ensure a great time that will strike you in just the right way!
