If you feel like you want to explore as much of nature and wildlife as you can but are limited by time, then make a trip to the Micke Grove Zoo. This impressive facility houses creatures from all over the globe that include such popular residents as monkeys, iguanas and a stunning collection of exotic birds and equally interesting amphibians. In addition to offering a great environment to walk around and view the animals in their natural habitats, the zoo also features various seasonal events as well as a variety of educational programs.

Get a feel for Stockton's natural beauty as it perfectly interplays with its commercial offerings at the Downtown Stockton Marina and Joan Darrah Promenade.

Also, there is some excellent art and various other displays to enjoy at the Joan Darrah Promenade, so make sure you take the time to stop in. Plus, with all of the excellent restaurants and shops near the Marina, you'll want to plan for a day-long visit to take it all in!
