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.

Play it cool by putting the whole family on ice—as in the ice you'll be skating on at the Oak Park Ice Arena! This classic facility has been offering great family ice skating fun since it first opened its doors back in 1970. Since then, the rink has made several improvements that make your time on the ice as fun as it can be. The surface of the ice is 85 x 200 feet and the facility also has seating for those family members who would rather watch the fun than put on a pair of skates.

The Cosumnes River Walk Trail winds through the Cosumnes River Preserve and offers walkers and hikers the opportunity to see over 200 species of birds that include sandhill cranes and various types of waterfowl. The recreation trail's location as it runs through the Great Valley allows visitors to discover and learn about the wondrous nature that inhabits this magnificent parcel of land.
