During your Sacramento vacation, don't miss these great establishments and attractions:
California State Railroad Museum
Well worth visiting, this museum is the highlight of Old Sacramento. You won't miss much if you bypass the memorabilia displays and head straight for the museum's 105 shiny locomotives and rail cars, beautiful antiques that are true works of art. Afterward, you can watch a 20-minute film on the history of the Western railroads that's quite good, then peruse related exhibits that tell the amazing story of the building of the transcontinental railroad. This museum is not just for train buffs: Over half a million people visit each year, and even the hordes of schoolchildren that typically mob this place shouldn't dissuade you from visiting one of the largest and best railroad museums in the country. Allow about 2 hours to see it all.From April to September, on weekends and holidays from 11am to 5pm, steam locomotive rides carry passengers 6 miles along the Sacramento River. Trains depart on the hour from the Central Pacific Freight Depot in Old Sacramento, at K and Front streets. Fares are $6 for adults and children ages 13 and older, $3 for children 6 to 12, and free for children under 6.
California State Capitol
Closely resembling a scale model of the U.S. Capitol in Washington, D.C., the beautiful, domed California state capitol was built in 1869 and renovated in 1976. Sacramento's most distinctive landmark, the capitol has been the stage of many political dramas in California history. The 1-hour guided tours provide insight into the building's architecture and the workings of the government it houses. Note: Security will ask you to put your purse or backpack through a metal detector.
Crocker Art Museum
This museum houses an outstanding collection of California art, as well as changing exhibits from around the world. It's in an imposing century-old Italianate building, with an ornate interior of carved and inlaid woods. The Crocker Mansion Wing, the museum's most recent addition, is modeled after the Crocker family home and contains works by Northern California artists from 1945 to the present. Plan to spend about an hour here.
Amber House Bed-and-Breakfast
Just 8 blocks from the capitol on a quiet street, Amber House offers lovely, individually decorated rooms possessing all the amenities you could wish for. Named for famous artists, musicians, and writers, accommodations are located in adjacent historic houses: the Poet's Refuge, a 1905 home with five rooms, and the Artist's Retreat, a Mediterranean-style house built in 1913. A third house -- an old colonial revival home called the Musician's Manor -- is across the street, and its Mozart Room is the B&B's best, with a four-poster queen bed, a heart-shaped Jacuzzi, a private patio, and three bay windows overlooking the tree-shaded street. A living room and library are available for guests' use. A fourth large, turreted home is currently being remodeled. It will be called The Library, featuring room decor with French, English, Southern plantation, and safari themes named after authors Christie, Hemingway, Fitzgerald, and Twain. A full breakfast is served at the time and location you request -- either in your room, in the large dining room, or outside on the veranda. Coffee and a newspaper are brought to your door each morning, as are freshly baked cookies and wine or champagne every evening.
Delta King Riverboat
The Delta King carried passengers between San Francisco and Sacramento in the 1930s. Permanently moored in Sacramento since 1984, the riverboat is now a somewhat gimmicky but charming hotel. Staying here can be a novelty, but the staterooms in a boat are not ultra-cozy and may bother landlubbers, especially if you're planning to spend a lot of time in your room. All units are nearly identical and have private bathrooms and low ceilings. The captain's quarters, a pricey suite, is a unique, mahogany-paneled stateroom, complete with an observation platform and private deck.The Pilothouse Restaurant is popular for local office parties. When the weather is nice, there's dining on outside decks with views of Old Sacramento. Live entertainment is presented below decks in two venues on Friday and Saturday nights. In the Mark Twain Lounge, "Suspect's Murder Mystery Dinner Theatre," an interactive whodunit, challenges the audience to reveal the true murderer, played by actors in period dress. It's $35 per person to attend, but that includes dinner, tax, and gratuity. Drinks are extra. Or for $14 a person, you can see a local production of a Broadway play in the 75-seat Delta King Theatre.
Sheraton Grand Sacramento Hotel
This convention hotel opened in 2001 and is praised for its high-tech amenities, a million-dollar public art collection, and the preservation of a beloved landmark. The hotel's 504 rooms are in a shiny, 26-story building adjoining a three-story building that was originally Sacramento's public market from 1920 to the 1960s. This historic structure, designed by Julia Morgan, architect for Hearst Castle, was a favorite gathering place for three generations of Sacramentans. Now housing the lobby, bar, and two restaurants, the site is again a downtown focal point for residents and travelers alike. The accommodations are convention-type hotel rooms -- a mite anonymous, but not unpleasant.
