20 Things to Do in Sacramento 

Why am I watching this I live in Sacramento

You were actually able to make my city sound cool

We call it "Old Sac" not old town.

Lifelong Sacramentan here. Nice list! Glad you mentioned the rose garden at the Capitol. There's also a rose garden at McKinley Park in midtown.

Marie’s Doughnuts on Freeport Blvd (get there early) and Vic’s Ice Cream on Riverside.

"They don't allow any pictures or video inside" *shows pictures and video inside*

You forgot . .. Walk around & watch crazy people talk to themselves.. That was my favorite when there...

I've been living in Sacramento practically my whole life and I've been to a lot of these places, but you made me realize how much I've been missing out.

A homeless guy threatened to stab me once at Chando’s.

Can't believe Rick's dessert diner isn't on your list.

Beautiful City. I'm from Valencia Spain, Sister City of Sacramento.👍

Gunther’s nor the fab 40s ain’t on this list????

Also visit Willie's, Fox and Goose, McKinley Park, Tower Theater (next to Tower Cafe) Crest Theater, The DOCO, the California State Fair (open during summer) It's nice to see my city as a tourist worthy spot

You missed the best thing: drive-in theater.

I grew up and spent most of my life in Sacramento and have never heard of Old Sacramento referred to as "Old Town Sacramento"...🤔

Born and raised in Sacramento! I miss it soo much! Thanx for a lil of home!

Hehe this is a list of elementary school field trips for Sacramentans.

I really appreciate this video like I lived in Sacramento my whole life and I visited most of these places but I love how they guy talks about it and makes it sound really cool

Sacramento CA is the best"*! A couple of hours from the ocean,, a couple of hours from the mountains to go skiing and snowboarding,, a couple hours from the desert. Anything and everything you want on a short distance away

Can't forget Golden1 Center...Go Kings!!...or Discovery Park, Fabulous 40s for some beautiful homes

I grew up in Sacramento and it actually is amazing to see it becoming bigger and bigger.

This just made me feel more depressed about living in Sacramento😂🤣

Sac is the best city in Cali because it's an equal distance from everything in the state. The Bay, Sierra, beaches like Santa Cruz and Monterey, and Lake Tahoe. As for the city itself, depends on which part you live in lol

I also live in Sacramento and I can genuinely say that the best thing to do on your stay here is go to Stockton Blvd to enjoy the nice and clean quality of the pristine roads as well as immersing yourself in the rich culture of the kind people who live on these streets (literally)

I miss Sacramento. I grew up there during my elementary school years. I hear it's gotten rougher and more expensive. I grew up in East Sacramento, the Valley Hi (when it was really safe), and the Greenhaven areas. I still miss the city and my friends there.

I live in Sac and I approve this. Although you barely scratched the surface regarding restaurants. So many great eateries in Sacramento. Grange, Ella’s, OneSpeed, Paragary’s restaurants, Allora, Rick’s Dessert Diner to name just a few. Bacon and Butter opened a second location in East Sac. Take a drive through the fab 40s to see the amazing homes.

We definitely call it Old Sac(funny as it sounds)

I dare you to do 20 things to do in Bakersfield or Fresno

I grew up in Sacramento and there is so much more to do and explore there with so many changes happening day in and day out.

born and raised in LA been here for 3years and all i can say is i love it out here. so much out door activities(fishing every weekend) , no traffic , experience all 4 seasons(summer does get hella hot) and so many great micro breweries in one spot.

I lived in the Sacramento area for 43 years before I left for Phoenix, exactly 4 years and 4 hours ago as of this typing...I moved to the Sacramento area from the Bay Area on May 10th, 1973 and left July 22nd 2015 at approximately 6pm... With all those years there, I can tell you my favorite places and things about Sacramento. The California State Fair at Cal Expo is a must see. One of the best fairs in the nation. The Placer County Fair in Roseville and the Gold Country Fair in Auburn are also favorites of mine. Other fun events that I like...Fireworks on July 3rd in Old Sac is really fun. Just about any festival in Old Sac is always a blast, like the now defunct Jazz Jubilee and the Asian Food Festival. I'm not exactly sure what it's called anymore. Plus there is another fireworks show on New Years Eve. The Rivercats are fun to watch in West Sac. The soccer team plays at Cal Expo too... I love free outdoor concerts like the ones at the Folsom Amphitheater, Carmichael Park and lots of others. I spent a lot of time on the American River Bike Trail exercising. The aquatic center on the American River near Hazel is a great place to visit. Rafting the American River is also a blast during the summer. Discovery Park is also a great place to go swimming on the Sacramento and American River confluence. Old Town Folsom is also a lot of fun. Lots of old time shops. Old Town Fair Oaks is fun, but just a little smaller than Old Town Folsom. As for restaurants? A few of my favorites: My favorite burger places are Burgers and Brews off R Street Downtown Sacramento, in West Sac, and in Davis. My favorite is the Burgers and Brews in Davis. It is in an old house right on the sidewalk which they have tables on. I also love Crickets diner on Auburn Blvd near College Oak just north of town. Excellent breakfasts! One of my favorite dinner places in West Sac is called Vinces. Good steak! Another Folsom place is called Sutter Street Cafe. The wife loves it. I also love the Elk Grove Western Festival on the first weekend in May and Pow Wow Days in Orangevale. I also love the 4th of July fireworks show at the Cal Expo race track. Free admission and always a great show. The best Christmas Lights neighborhoods were Dove Ct in Orangevale, the lights at the Fabulous 40's streets in east Sac, and my all time favorite light show at the Rocklin neighborhoods near Pebblecreek Rd. That is the best Christmas light show in the whole country, bar none. Sacramento is a great place to live, but the people in charge made it way too expensive for me. I'm am glad I left.

Don't forget the Sacramento Music Circus! Fabulous!!!

Thanks for the ideas! I recently moved to Sacramento from Texas. I feel Sacramento gets more hate than it deserves. It’s an absolutely beautiful place to live. Sure it has its problems but that’s true of anywhere. It’s a wonderful place to raise a family. And it’s so close to many amazing places. Californians should have more pride in their state it’s a wonderland.

There’s also Sac State Aquatic Center for kayaking, jet skiing, canoe, etc.

The Jungle Bird is the absolute best tiki bar and the food is AMAZING

You forgot going to oak park and trying not to get shot

Still haven’t been to the railroad museum 🤦🏽‍♀️... born and raised here

I have lived in sac for 13 years and didnt know half the places you mentioned

Well done!! The Rose Garden in Land Park is a must-see too. So many beautiful plants there.

I’ve lived in Sacramento my entire life and have not done most of theses lmao. You should consider exploring the Delta of the sac area, west sac, Clarksburg, courtland, etc. it’s so beautiful I feel honored to call it my home 🤗

Great Job. My hometown. Went to William Land Park, State Capitol, SuttersFort, and Crocker on a school field trip in the early 60's.

One of my good friends was a merman at the Dive Bar. Lol

I have lived all over the US from Florida to Montana and a lot of in between, but I love my hometown of Sacramento. There are so many fun places to see, do, and experience. Great outdoor activities at the lakes or rivers, great food culture with dozen and dozens of breweries and access to lovely wineries, art galleries, local artists, so many fun small music venues, meetup groups, museums, and oh yeah...did I say food!?

Its weird how most ppl live in sac in the comments ,i do to😂

I did my first communion in the Cathedral p.s. i live in Sacramento also we call it old sac

You forgot golden one center 😁GO KINGS 💪 Sacramento PROUD

going for Aftershock 2018, can't wait!

I've always loved history and Sacramento seems to have no shortage. Looking forward to going one day.

ayee the Fox and Goose shoutout at the end, respect dude

This makes me miss my hometown sacramento Cali sooo much

I have yet to find a place like sacramento, the valley does not get severe weather, we have old town sacramento-- Lake Tahoe 2 hours away for all the snow you could ever want, and the ocean again, 2 hours away. Las Vegas is close enough for a days drive, Yosemite a national treasure to get away .... its really a lovely place and close by Elk Grove for that small home town feel.

FAB 40s at Christmas is overwhelming!! So beautiful

Hey Josh, we love that you made this video because Sacramento does have a ton of Fun Things To Do, Great Restaurants To Dine At, Site Seeing, and plenty of small businesses that we should support. Small businesses are the engines that drive our economy!

Wow! So many amazing places - done. Want to retire. Now. Really ~ you make everything look amazing!

thumps up!!!! brilliant video ever for Sacrarmento!

I grew up in Sacramento! I live out of State now, I really 💘 love where I am now. I visit twice a year, I miss moms,pops, & my siblings. I've been to all these places, it never gets old..😁

Great list, wish it came out last week while I was in Sacramento!

Sammys on Del Paso blvd. It's been a staple in Sacramento since 1947. Still great food and good prices. Also Marie's donuts on watt ave since the early 60s.

Love the Crocker Museum; solid choice

Great video. Glad you mentioned Bacon and Butter!

I'm going to Sacramento for New Years 🥳 this is exactly the viedo I was searching for Thank You!!! ❤️

Really cool and informative video!! I been thinking on go there for night photography now I know where to go 👌👌👌💯

I'm from Sac... I did most of this as a kid, in school...

I love the Sacramento Railroad Museum. I even went there back in Elementary school when we were on a field trip to there.

Bacon and butter is fricking bomb. There was a line going down the block.

Great Video Josh!! Always very informative , great narration !!

I think Sacramento is a great family destination. So much history and the natural beauty of the Sacramento Delta.

I made it out to about 30% of this list and I loved it. I almost had to remind myself I was still in California and I’m from LA. A lot of great places to check out.

Hit up coin op! Best damn bar-cade I’ve ever been to

We call it old sac 😂

My Dad worked at the Crocker Art Museum! I got to see all the behind the scenes. He was the Director of Operations.

I live in sac and im still watching this-

Thank you for including family friendly spots we travel as a family and always look for recommendations to include kids! Great video

Born and raised in sac and this is the first I've heard old sac referred to as old town sac. I'm sure if you asked someone in sac about old town, you will get a confused look.

I'm from Sac but as someone like me who's been incarcerated for 10 years, a walk in the park is already a blessing. People be grateful. There are people around the world that lives in worst conditions than Sac.

Ruhstaller taproom is great too. It’s like a mini museum of the history of beer in California and it’s in the basement that was the original headquarters of Ruhstaller brewery in 1893 (give or take a year, I can’t exactly remember) Good beer, cool history

I love your point of view. Thank you for shearing.

Favorite thing to do in Sacramento is head for the mountains or the ocean. Tahoe quick 90 minute trip east up Highway 50. Or go west on l-80 for 90 minutes and your on the coast in San Francisco

Wow! Great Videos.

I visited my aunt and cousin in Sacramento 3 years ago. Loving the chill vibe around Sacramento. You forgot to mention the Aerospace Museum of California. That is definitely a must visit when in Sacramento.

The best part about Sac, is seeing it in my rearview mirror as I'm heading north!

Going there in a couple of weeks. Great tips!!!

I moved away from the Sacramento area to central Texas and now I’m watching this video!

Loved the video! I’ve done most of the things on ur list with my fam...

As a Sac local, I would like to warn people who plan on visiting our beautiful city. The Dive bar is currently under fire because many women have come forward and said that the bartenders are roofie-ing them. So far it appears that the owners are aware of what’s going on and have not made any statements saying if and how they are planning on fixing this. I would definitely avoid this place. Also, temple coffee is where it’s at! Their vanilla lattes are some of the best in the city. And they have amazing pastries. Gluten free and vegan included. Get the gluten free, vegan lemon lavender muffin! Amazing.

There is literally an NBA team in the city and how is that not on the list

yeah! I been there last march in That Place Sakramento , i have many pictures there and love the place , after there i been in San Francisco Very interesting place lovely!

Being a local I love these things! Chando's is life!

As a local I can say you did a great job!

I’m simply here because I’m homesick and miss Sacramento. I’m overseas right now. Great video!

My daughter live in Sacramento and every time I go visit her I enjoy myself. Im glad I watched this video, now I have more places to go when I visit my daughter. Thanks u!😃

I've lived downtown for over 30 years and I take this stuff for granted. It's my neighborhood. Guess I'll look at it differently now.

We call it old Sacramento, not old town.

What about Mikuni?!?!? There are 9 location in the Sacramento area.

thanks for making this video, i was thinking my town was real boring til u reminded me of everything im gon go to these again

Thanks for a positive review of my town which i miss so much right now because so many post negative things about Sactown.

Cool thing in Sacramento is the parlor. Don’t hesitate, GO TO THE PARLOR.

I live in midtown Sacramento. There is nothing to do here but drink alcohol.

thanks man.. been here 2 years now in sacramento and this tourist spot info you have are pretty amazing!

I’ve done all these and I haven’t watched this video but nice video I live 10 minutes away from Sacramento!
