The Children's Museum of Stockton offers a chance for kids to learn in a truly fun and highly interactive way from the moment they walk through this impressive facility's front door. The museum features a generous number of hands-on, play-based exhibits and attractions that entertain, amuse and educate young visitors about various aspects of science and art while teaching them in great detail about the wonders in the world around them.

Take a leisurely self-guided walking tour of Stockton's first historic district when you explore the Magnolia Historic District. This is not only a multidimensional history lesson of the city, but it also offers a chance to see some highly detailed and impressively constructed architecture. Some of the styles you'll see include Queen Anne, Eastlake, Bungalow, Craftsman, and Spanish Revival. These homes and buildings date back to the 1860s and the area still thrives thanks to the city's successful efforts at rehabilitation, restoration and adaptive reuse. The area is bounded by Harding Way, California Street, Park Street and El Dorado Street.

Brew up an unforgettable romantic evening as the two of you make your way to Stockton's Valley Brewing Company. This highly noted spot has won kudos as the top sports bar, the top happy hour and the top brew pub in the city by its ever-growing legion of faithful patrons. Stop in after work or later in the evening for a great meal, a super drink selection and great live entertainment.

The kids will surely jump at the chance to rev it up and go when you take them to visit the Delta Speedway. This attraction is located in San Joaquin County Fairgrounds and has been in operation since 1986. This track is an 1/8 mile dirt oval that accommodates microsprint cars that kids from 5 years of age and up can enjoy. The whole family will be entertained by the rumble of these smaller-than-usual engines as they speed toward the finish line.
