Wondering what to do in Sacramento, where to go or how to get there? No problem. Visit the Sacramento Convention and Visitors Bureau website, www.discovergold.org for visitor information, hotel accomodations, calendar of events and everything else you will need to know.
Staying in Sacramento overnight? The Sacramento Gold Card is a unique new way to make the most of your next visit to Sacramento. It's exclusively for hotel guests. The card is FREE for hotel guests so just ask for it upon check in at any participating Gold Card member hotel. For more information, visit the SCVB webpage.
A helpful book, obtained through Amazon.com is Sacramento With Kids, A Family Guide to the Greater Sacramento Region, by Diedre Wolownick Honnold. She lists and reviews kid-friendly attractions in the city.
Another great website to visit is the state of California's California Tourism site. Though offering a broader scale of events and attractions, it compliments the more localized websites well.
Visiting the city shouldn't be the only reason for coming to Sacramento. With the Sacramento and American rivers so close by, there are lots of things to do outside. Go to www.sacramentoriver.org for information about public access, events, and educational opportunities.
Lastly, find kid-centered travel ideas at www.travelforkids.com. They list ideas for kid fun in Old Sacramento and "Gold Country," which includes many surrounding attractions.
