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.

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.

Every April, Stockton presents a very tasty celebration with the Stockton Asparagus Festival. The three-day multi-event has been held every year for the past 27 years, and continues to get more popular. Enjoy over 100 arts and crafts vendors as well as plenty of food and product vendors. This is the place where the world-famous Deep Fried Asparagus Eating Championship proudly takes place. This is the largest food festival in the Central Valley, and it also holds the distinction of being the state's largest charitable event.
