Crocker Art Museum

216 O St
Sacramento, CA 95814

Gretchen S. writes: When I announce to my toddlers we're going to the Crocker, they yell "Yay!" and "Art! Art! Art!" (While doing a seal imitation, including clapping flappers. Goofballs.)

My kids have been coming here since they were infants. I love how Crocker has made…

Crest Theater

1013 K St
Sacramento, CA 95814

Mattie P. writes: I wish I could give the Crest ten stars; that's how much I love it. A quick disclaimer: I'm part of the volunteer staff of the Trash Film Orgy (I'm Wednesday the photographer) so I've been at the Crest when it's closed to the public. I've seen the…

Bogle Vineyard Winery

37783 County Rd 144
Clarksburg, CA 95612

Man of Leisure M. writes: Ok, this isn't an actual review of the Bogle Vineyard but as an armchair Delta historian, I'd like to go off on a tangent to expand upon Amanda and Greg's previous mentions of the region.

Most people, even folks who've lived here for years and years,…

California State Railroad Museum

111 I St
Sacramento, CA 95814

Vamsi V. writes: I love trains. I long for the times when I used to take 24 hour train rides, in the comfort of my own cabin. Ah, good times.

It was good seeing the locomotives and knowing the history behind CA railroads. It was also depressing to learn how the…

Tower Theater

2508 Land Park Dr
Sacramento, CA 95818

Greg B. writes: It's old. worn out. past it's prime...just like Grandma! The Tower theater is one of my TOP TEN PLACES IN SACRAMENTO! Sure it has a funny smell and the bathrooms aren't too clean. But hey, I loved my Grandma despite these things too. They always have…

Raley Field

400 Ballpark Drive
West Sacramento, CA 95691

Gretchen S. writes: A great venue -- bring your kids!

Tasty food, great people watching, a play area, and, of course, The Game. There are special kids' days, such as US Banks Kids' Day. They also have a two-day baseball camp.

Kids 14 and under can join "Dinger's Club" for…

Fools Foundation

1025 19th St
Ste 0
Sacramento, CA 95814

Katie T. writes: An odd little space located in the basement of a funky old office building next to the Spaghetti Factory.

I was there to listen to music, but they seem to be a very multipurpose art venue. Since it's very close to my office I'll definitely be back…

Discovery Museum

101 I St
Sacramento, CA 95814

Amy P. writes: Yay for Museum Day!

This Discovery Museum answers the question (er, my question anyway) of "What the hell do these idiot developers do with all the cool stuff they dig up when they excavate old blocks of Sacramento? I mean, really. What the hell?…

Luna's Cafe & Juice Bar

1414 16th St
Sacramento, CA 95814

Nic C. writes: I'll tell you a secret: I used to live in a loft atop this joint. So, clearly, I ate there a lot.

Love it! Miss it! Regretably, I am only in Sacramento for the holidays, which is when they CLOSE for two weeks, so, I never get to visit.

My…

The Torch Club

904 15th St
Sacramento, CA 95814

Mattie P. writes: As a woman who likes to shake her boo-tay to some fine, fine Chicago blues, I have to say the Torch Club is a super place to do some booty shakin'. The dance floor is small but it's larger than the floor at the Torch's previous location, so that's a…

Mondavi Center

1 Shields Ave
Davis, CA 95618

James L. writes: This is a fantastic theater with great acoustics - classical music in particular really shines here. The only drawback is the location: It's great for Sac/Davis residents, but for anyone in the Bay Area outside of Solano County this venue is quite a…

Sacramento 6 Drive-In

9616 Oates Dr
Sacramento, CA 95857

cammy g. writes: A movie at the local drive-in just evokes that sense of nostalgia. Back during the day, even if the nerdiest guy in class asked me to a movie here, I would have gone here in a heartbeat. Oh, who am I kidding? I love nerds. Nerd would have just gotten…

Varsity Theatre

616 2nd St
Davis, CA 95616

miika m. writes: Okay okay, I am totally reminiscing about ** years ago when I was a bit more fresh-faced and the world before me was being viewed through rose colored lens.....*sigh* college days.

This is probably the equivalent to the Tower Theater in Sacramento.…

Laughs Unlimited

1207 Front St
Sacramento, CA 95814

Emily S. writes: I've had many, many laughs here. Even brought an ex-boyfriend to break up with him after the show.

Oh... come on.... he was laughing, loaded up on liquor, full belly of nachos.... about to lose the best thing that ever happened to him... it was…

Sacramento Ballet

1631 K St
Sacramento, CA 95814

The performance was at the Community Center Theater. We sat in the Grand Tier,…

B Street Theatre

2711 B St
Sacramento, CA 95816

EarthPeople T. writes: One of Sacramento's most important art places. The B St. is easily the best theatre that can be found in Sacramento. It puts on professional, new work plays. I do not want to detract from the work of other venues, but the plays that the B St. puts…

Spotlight Dance & Fitness

Spotlight Center for the Arts
2534 Industrial Blvd Ste 150
Sacramento, CA 95691

Christine K. writes: Hubster and I were given dance lessons as a pre-wedding gift a few years ago and we were delighted with the lessons we got here from Christina. She's a sweet, super cute and tiny little thing with loads of energy and patience for those who have no…

Beyond the Proscenium Productions

1713 25th St
Sacramento, CA 95816

ann t. writes: OK, I'll just admit up front that I'm prejudiced, because I'm the director of Beyond the Proscenium's newest play to open October 27 - Hecuba & Dido: Love Gone Wrong. This is a VERY modern adaptation (or mash-up if you will) of Euripides' Trojan…

Acoustic Sanctuary

2200 J St
Sacramento, CA 95857

Chris B. writes: I dared not step foot inside this strange-looking vehicle until a friend phoned me to come join him for some one-man band entertainment. His girlfriend was visiting from points South and this was a unique Midtown Sacramento experience they had to…

Fremont Park

1515 Q St
Sacramento, CA 95857

Katie T. writes: Excellent swing placement for drunken swinging on my walk home from bars.

Drunken swinging is the most fun ever.

40 Acres Art Gallery

3428 3rd Avenue
Sacramento, CA 95817

Kari S. writes: 40 Acres brings art to the people.

I happened to be wandering by and saw a bunch of folks congregating around the front door; as it turns out they were holding a reception that was free and open to the public. I was surprised to see an offering of…

Robert T. Matsui Waterfront Park

200-219 Jibboom St
Sacramento, CA 95814

Gretchen S. writes: Look! Out on the Sacramento River between Discovery Park and the I Street Bridge! It's a ship; it's a dragonfly; it's a public art display; it's a destination by foot, bike, skates, or car along the riverfront; it's a fun place for kids to play in a…

Old Sugar Mill

35265 Willow Ave
Clarksburg, CA 95612

cynthia b. writes: A group of us happened to drive by the Old Sugar Mill after visiting Bogle Winery just about a mile away. My expectations for this place were pretty low, since they only had a homemade sign that read "Free Wine Tasting this way." If I wasn't buzzed…

The Vagina Monologues by SacActors.com

The Geery Theatre
2130 L St
Sacramento, CA 95857

Roachie D. writes: I fully admit that I have 100% bias in reviewing this show.

Because I'm involved. I've been involved since a few weeks after the beginning.

So take it with a grain of salt.

The Vagina Monologues by Eve Ensler has been running at the Geery Theatre for 3…

Sacramento Comedy Spot

1716 Broadway
Sacramento, CA 95818

Greg S. writes: The Comedy Spot is more fun than a kick to the man region. Rather than the predictable stand-up routines that you've become immune to, the Spot offers up improv and sketch comedy from local performers. Like the Groundlings in LA or Second City in…

Davis Art Center

1919 F St
Davis, CA 95616

Kitty C. writes: Pretty much rocks. Many summers of tennis and piano lessons were tempered by an art or dancing class or two. Really really great for kids in a nice, naturally lit building.

Sacramento History Museum

101 I St
Sacramento, CA 95814

Kitty C. writes: This was a required trip and probably is for most 5th graders in the area. However, it was and continues to be excellent. Who can resist stories of prospecting, Indians and the gold rush.

Discovery Museum and Challenger Learning Center

3615 Auburn Boulevard
Sacramento, CA 95821

Melanie I. writes: Good, educational entertainment at a low, low price.
I took my 8 year old here yesterday, looking for something to do on a rainy day. Apparently I wasn't the only one who had that bright idea, since the place was packing them in.
We saw live animals,…

Artworks 21

1812 J Street
Sacramento, CA 95814

Chris B. writes: Great little artsy kitschy shop next to Streets of London on J Street. Discovered this place on a Second Saturday Artwalk and just had to have a photographic montage of neon martini glasses. I snapped up the art, which now occupies a hallowed spot…

California State Military Museum

1119 2nd Street
Sacramento, CA 95814

mike p. writes: God bless those old veterens in there that are volenteering time to run this museum. Nice gift shop with some good stuff that will bring back good memories. It is good that there is still a place in this state that honors veterens. Was pretty…

Imax Theatre At Esquire Plaza

1211 K St
Sacramento, CA 95814

Christine K. writes: saw Spider-Man 3 here (but I've been here before) and it wasn't as bad as I had expected it to be. Emo Peter Parker!

I hate that the only lot to park in isn't fully validated by IMAX and it's usually crowded b/c of it's proximity to the Community…

Old Tavern Bar and Grill

1510 20th St
Sacramento, CA 95814

Eric Y. writes: Wow. The Old Tavern. The first bar I really frequented during my formidable early (legal) drinking years. It's one helluva dive.

It's got feral cats, construction oddities (is that a huge hole in the ceiling with rain coming down and pouring onto…

Towe Auto Museum

2200 Front St
Sacramento, CA 95818

Kerri T. writes: My dad would love this place. And, I'll bet, so would yours.

Auto museums are not a dime a dozen. They tend to be fairly focused, era-wise. Similarly, auto shows these days trend too often towards the souped-up, pimped-out, and rim-jobbed. …

Short Center South

1250 Sutterville Rd
Sacramento, CA 95822

Gretchen S. writes: An art studio and gallery with works for sale by people with developmental disabilities.

During the week, the art studio is filled with people coming in for learning and recreational opportunities. During my visit, students were enjoying various media…

Century Complex Theatres

1590 Ethan Way
Sacramento, CA 95825

SHANNON A. writes: These theatres are pretty neat. There are tons of seats!

There are several dome shape theatres in the complex and it's kind of confusing to figure out which theatre you should be heading to. The lady who sold us the tickets gave poor directions. …

Sierra Sacramento Valley Museum of Medical History

5380 Elvas Avenue
#100
Sacramento, CA 95819

Amy P. writes: 5380 Elvas Avenue, Suite 100, Sacramento, CA 95819
916.452.2671 916.452.2690 FAX infossvms.org

This is a great place. It's a historical look at Sacramento's medical history, from quackery to common Chinese medicines of the Gold Rush to…

The Studio Theatre

1028 R St
Sacramento, CA 95814

Gil O. writes: The Studio Theatre is a very cozy 90-seat theatre in Midtown. It is conveintly located at 10th & R, across from the Fox & Goose, and around the block from Old Ironsides.
The small staff is very friendly and accomodating. Before shows, and during…

K-LOVE

2351 Sunset Boulevard, Suite 170-218
Rocklin, CA 95765

J T. writes: I love listening to K-LOVE over the internet.

I've even written in a few times asking about a song that I heard on their station, and I have always gotten a timely response from a real person.

Great Contemporary Christian Music.

Ehrhardt Estates Winery

12300 Herzog Rd
Courtland, CA 95615

Lisa A. writes: Fellow Yelpers, I am happy now. Nay, I am purely content as only a person who has been blessed with true satisfaction can be. Why, you may ask, am I in such a blissful state? Why am I moved to such rhapsody? I'll tell you...Ehrhardt Estate's 2004…
