Lots of neat stores, yummy places to eat, and being right on the Sacramento River, a great place to watch the boats in the summer.

We like visiting old Sacramento so much. From the candy shops, to the old buildings. Then a stroll along the river! Also we found a place that has 25 cent Sarsaparilla's in an ice cold mug. A great break for the family.

When in Old Sacramento there are a few must see's. The Railroad museum, The river front, Delta King. Evangeline's, and My Favorite, The River City Saloon.

I found this place and others due to checking on trip advisor before my trip. The owner of the place was the bartender. We had a great deli style lunch, about $6.00 each, and they had Sarsaparilla on drought for just 99 cents.

They are on the end toward the railroad museum so it's not as crowded as the waterfront. My kids played some video games and my wife and I enjoyed a ICE cold Beer, I say that cause it was hot out and the beer was very refreshing

I'm New to Trip advisor and just wrote a review about a fun place in Old Sacramento, but found this listing as well. The Place is Called, River City Saloon. It was a great place right near the Railroad museum and it has great deli sandwiches, as well as it was decorated like an old west saloon. We had a a fun time.

We stayed at the Delta King in Old Sacramento for one night after our Amtrak train trip from Denver. Our train pulled in 6 hours late and we didn't arrive at the Delta King until after 10pm. We were surprised to not find any restaurants open after 10pm. So, we got up early, starving, to find that they don't open until 10am the next day. Thought that was surprising since I would think that some of those restaurants would serve breakfast and coffee early.

Despite that small glitch in things, we thoroughly enjoyed wandering through the streets. Found some yummy freshly baked pastries and coffee, found some cute touristy things to purchase, and enjoyed the beautiful Sacramento weather.

One thing I noticed, most of the sidewalks are woodsy type cobblestone and I think it would be very bumpy for a child in a stroller.

Wish we could have spent more time in Old Sacramento. Would definitely visit again.
