We’ll begin our journey at the Sacramento History Museum. Betcha didn’t see that coming! Fun fact: The Sacramento History Museum building is a recreation of the original Sacramento City Hall and Waterworks building. Look at that, you’re learning already.

After you’ve consumed all the historical knowledge you can, grab a ticket and hop aboard the newly restored Granite 10 Steam Locomotive for a 3-mile excursion! Feel the wind in your hair, the history on your face, and the soothing sounds of the train horn against your eardrums.

A black vintage steam locomotive is displayed on train tracks beside an orange passenger car labeled "Southern Pacific." Sunlight filters through nearby trees.

Once you arrive back at the station with that adventurous spirit still riding high, make your way over to Fanny Ann’s Saloon for a midday meal. Gotta keep that big brain fueled! Fun Fact #2: The Saloon is named after a steamboat called “The World Famous Fanny Ann”. The steamboat was prominent during the Gold Rush era and was later owned by a local madam and saloon proprietor named Big Annie Fanny, who eventually renamed herself Fanny Ann! Historical facts are the best!

To close things out, there’s no better way to celebrate a successful day of learning than with a Candlelight Concert at the California Railroad Museum. Talk about a unique music venue!

Kick things off at Underground Mini Golf, where good old-fashioned putt-putt meets California History. The kids will learn and laugh their way through every hole.

Once you tally the scores and declare everyone a winner (no one loses on this adventure!), make your way to Dipped N Color Splat Studio to let the kids’ creativity run free! Your walls at home will thank you.

At this point, everyone will surely be ready for a bit of sustenance, so make your way over to Brannon Manor, where delicious food and fun await!

Start your evening with a team-building (or breaking) exercise at Neo Escape Room. Communication is key here, so be on the lookout for any red flags! Then, assuming you escaped, make your way a little further down 2nd Street to The Bear & Crown for some British Pub fare, where you can discuss who actually solved the escape room puzzles over a couple of pints.

Before heading to your next experience, take a stroll along the waterfront to see our friendly Sea Lions barking their little hearts out across the river from our historic riverboat!

Now that you’ve quelled your appetites, it’s time to kick back and enjoy unlimited laughs at Laughs Unlimited. Pro tip: Sitting in the front row on a date is ALWAYS a good idea. Surely, the performer won’t even notice you’re there.

Audience members at Laughs Unlimited laugh and smile warmly during a live comedy show in a dimly lit venue. Tables hold drinks and menus, highlighting a relaxed atmosphere.

Starting at Blueprint Coffee, indulge in one of their seasonally-flavored cold foam cold brews and relax on the boardwalk for a while. Ah, the first coffee of the day is always the best!

Now that we’re fully awake, head over to Terra Forte for some deliciously saucy sandwiches, and who knows, maybe another espresso-based beverage to keep the fun at an optimal level! Plus, you know what they say; the second coffee of the day is always the best!

No time to slow down, now. That caffeine has us in a full sprint, so Tom Cruise-run your way over to Pittador Brews for some truly electrifying, in-house roasted espresso!

From there, make your way to Steamers Cafe, where a refreshing beverage awaits! And who knows? Maybe another coffee? Don’t feel judged! This is your day!

Then wrap up the crawl with a riverside stroll to The Delta King for an Espresso Martini, while you gaze out over the docks as the sun goes down. Enjoy that sweet delta breeze!
