Waterworld is a lot of fun, but expensive. Last time I went admission was almost $20 a person, plus parking, raft/tube rentals if you want them, locker rental, food ...it gets expensive! There's nothing quite like breaker beach though, or going down those huge slides. Bring the sunblock and have fun!

The Sacramento Zoo rivals the best zoos in larger cities across the world. It has undergone numerous expansions over the years and features almost every kind of animal life you can think of. Children or all ages will be enthralled with the closeness of the animals - many are behind glass which allows the animals to come right up to you. There is a reptile habitat, an aviary, an exhibit of cats of all sizes, as well as habitats featuring many endangered and exotic animals. There are many educational facts posted around the zoo, and families can spend a whole day here easily. The prices are fair, and annual passes allow you access to special events such as the Ice Cream Safari.

This is a great place to catch a game of bowling with friends. They charge by the game, not the hour, so you don't get fleeced. The lanes are well kept, and there is quite a few of them. It's a good idea to call ahead to see if there's league bowling going on, because I've been turned away before because of that. But, they always tell you what time you can come back and bowl!

This is such a great place for kids and families. The memberships are very reasonable and we had one for years. We would mainly go during the week and a few times we had the whole place to ourselves. The kids can wander from one activity to the next. There is so much to do that we rarely got through everything. The puppet shows are really cute in their very own puppet theatre. The kids can be active and explore. They also have lots of events through the year which are truly magical. My favorite is Midsummers Night Dream when the park is open at night and all lit up. Beautiful!

It's amazing to see a full carousel inside of a busy mall. I love taking my nephews on this. You have to buy a token before you can go it. It's a bit confusing that you can't just hand your cash to the person on staff. They'll let parents get on with their children for safety without charging the parent extra. One of the best things about this attraction is that it's very clean and well-kept, so the animals all sparkle.

This place is awesome. I remember stopping by here one time when we were on our way to Tahoe. Now that I live in Sacramento, we've played mini-golf here about three times now. If you have the unlimited play wristband, just keep playing the 18th hole and getting new balls so you can get tickets for free games on your next visit.

Paradise Island has so many fun things to do. Miniature Golf, go carts, arcade ...You do have to pay for parking, and it can get crowded, but it is a lot of fun. Prices are reasonable too. I would recommend going earlier in the day to avoid the crowds. During the summer you can usually get a good deal on Waterworld/Paradise Island combo passes.

If you're tired of the little go karts at Scandia, this is the next step up. Think of it as the difference between lasertag and paintball. These cars (not really karts) top out at around 40 mph, and trust me, you don't want them to go any faster. There are two courses most days, and on one day of the week the courses are combined into one monster track. The cars are easy to drive, hard to master. You can easily spin them out by going too fast. The price of admission includes a head sock, equipment rental and a race. It is an expensive sport to get into, but it's well worth trying. Staff are professional and try to keep as much rule-breaking to a minimum as possible.

I grew up going to Fairytale Town. I loved it as a kid. Now, my daughter loves it.
There is a King Arthur's Castle, Sherwood Forest, Crooked Mile, Old Mother Hubbard's Shoe and animals and slides.
Kids love this place because it is safe and there is so much to do with lots of shade and plenty of space to run around.
Kids plays are performed and events happen all the time.
This is a perfect place to have a birthday party. The staff do a good job of keeping the kids busy with a snack, games and cake and ice cream.

According to my husband and daughter this amusement park has the best corn dogs around. They make 'em fresh every day.
The rides are simple and easy for a child to confront and get on to ride. The planes are great, going up and down, up and down.
The face painting makes my daughter very happy to end a visit to Funderland. The woman there charges $5.00 I believe.
After Funderland try the pony rides near by in the shade where the camellias bloom.
