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.

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!

Stockton was once home to a thriving Filipino culture. While many Filipinos still make their home here, the older generation may remember when they were all concentrated in the Little Manila section of the city. Today, only three buildings are still standing from what was once the largest thriving Filipino community in the United States. The stories, struggles, triumphs and contributions of the Filipino culture to Stockton's growth can be traced back here. Take a dramatic tour of the Iloilo Circle, the Dimasalang House and the Daguhoy Lodge, the three remaining structures that preserve the Filipino history quite fittingly.
