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!

I recently attended a Pet Expo at the fairgrounds, where I learned about Felidae cat food and World's Best cat litter. I also discovered that the companies prefer to sell to local businesses, rather than large chains. Pet Department Store sells both of these, and also sells Canidae, the food for dogs. In addition, they sell a wide selection of other foods. They can't compete with the large chains when it comes to accessories, toys, etc., but for food and litter, I would go nowhere else. They are very firendly, give out samples when they have them, and are all-around one of the best stores in Sacramento.

Sharif's has been in the Sacramento area for many years and is family owned and operated so the customer service is superb and flawless.
Sharif has been my parents jeweler for many years and I remember being a little boy and going into his shop with my father so he can purchase my mom a last minute Valentine's Day present, so I figured he must me good because my father will not just shop anywhere.
I had my first experience with Sharif when choosing an engagement ring for my fiance, who is now my wife, but I was very nervous during this time and was not sure what I was doing and Sharif himself basically helped me and found the perfect diamond and setting and made sure it fit within my budget. Sharif is known in California as having the largest and best inventory for diamonds and his stones are the best and the prices are even better.
Sharif does not deal with flawed stones and then try to rip off his customers, he deal only with the best. Local celebrities have been known to use Sahrif's as their diamond guy, people such as Mike Bibby, Chris Webber, and Bobby Jackson of the Sacramento Kings have Sharif as their personal jeweler so he is great.
Give him a try, he even has a slogan: "You don't have to be rich and famous to shop at Sharif's!" and this is true.

When Beers had to move, they piled boxes of discarded books in their parking lot. I picked my way through each one of those boxes while I lived in my VW van (my attorney said flee Oroville! Do not look back...pillar of salt, etc.). Kudo's to Beers for replacing my library of classics and collectibles. Now that my property dispute with Little Miss Loosie has the court's approval, I and my wife shop at Beers about once a month, looking for tasty books for our new home and for gifts. There is not another bookstore like this in the region!

They have everything here, I believe.
A friend of mine needed a costume for the her son to where to school to do a presentation about the Renaissance. It was a Sunday and she called all over town to no avail.
I told her about Cheap Thrills that they'd help her out if they are open. I have heard nothing but good things about this place.
Sure enough, they found what they need and were very satisfied.

The shop itself brims with atmosphere and tons of '60s and '70s kitsch. Don't be surprised to walk in and find The Banana Splits or Harvey Birdman playing on the TV!
Dave Downey's been in business with World's Best for over 20 years, and there's a reason he's still around: He knows his stuff. His store's highly recommended.
Pros: Great stock, knowledgeable owner
Cons: Short hours of operation

Mixed Bag offers a mixed bag of gift items! There truly is a large assortment of items -- some are difficult to find, others are run-of-the-mill gift store items. They offer excellent personal service to help you track down the perfect gift from their large selection. Items include kitchen gadgets, tchokes (sp?), stationary, etc... Around the holidays, the store turns into Santa's Bag, offering an array of holiday ornaments and gifts. (Mixed Bag and Santa's Bag used to be two separate stores, but combined into one location several years ago). I love going their for a unique ornament for our office ornament exchange!

I didn't like this store, used to avoid shopping here. But, it's changed for the better and I now make it my Target store. It's close to my house and the people that work here are real nice and friendly. They try to help you even when they can't help you out.
The electronics department needs tweaking -- it's pretty weak -- the people in the department are out of it or lack the know-how of electronics.

This place beats the big chains like blockbuster and hollywood video because it is owned and operated by a local who is friendly and knows all her customers. The store is pretty big with a great selection of movies. The movies and tv shows are clearly organized. The only bad thing is that there are not many copies of new releases.
