Whether you're young in age or young at heart, a great day of family fun is in store when you visit the Pixie Woods Amusement Park. This is a truly classic experience, as this much-loved park has been a fixture of Stockton since it opened more than 55 years ago. Enjoy such attractions as a merry-go-round, the Pixie Express Train, and much more. The kids will also enjoy the slides and playgrounds, and the firetruck and pirate ship that are on site, too. Plus, the water play area is quite popular during the warmer months of the year.

Get a more detailed view of not only the country's history but of California's dramatic past as well when you visit the Holt-Atherton Special Collections. It's almost like connecting the various pieces of the area's past when you view the museum's vintage photographs, artifacts and various exhibits that all tell the story of the American West. Also, don't miss seeing the incredible collection of manuscripts, books and other historical items.

Replay Records more than lives up to its name. Stockton's favorite record shop harks back to a time before iPods and computer downloads and instead, people enjoyed their music by purchasing records and cassettes. The store maintains an impressive inventory of classic vinyl record albums, hard-to-find cassette tapes as well as used CDs, DVDs, and memorabilia like posters and collectible items. So if you're in the mood to hear the unmistakeable sound of vintage vinyl as it spins on your turntable, the experts at Replay Records can help you name that tune!
