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.
Sutter's Fort State Historic Park
John Sutter established this outpost in 1839, and the park, restored to its 1846 appearance, aims to recapture the spirit of 19th-century California. Exhibits include a blacksmith's forge, cooperage, bakery, and jail -- and a self-guided audio tour is available. Demonstrations and reenactments in costume are staged daily Memorial Day to Labor Day, when admissions are bumped to $4 for adults and $1 for children 6 to 16.
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.
The Sacramento Vagabond Inn
A reliable choice within walking distance of the state capitol, the Vagabond Inn has a host of free features, including local phone calls, weekday newspapers, and continental breakfast. Bedrooms are clean and comfortable but not exceptional -- it's the economical rates and the convenient location that make it worth your while. There's an adjoining 24-hour Denny's restaurant as well.
Hyatt Regency Sacramento
Sacramento's top hotel stands right in the heart of downtown, across from the state capitol and adjacent to the convention center. It's the high-status address for visiting politicos and is popular with conventioneers as well, as its facilities and services are unmatched in the city. While the rooms themselves are not terribly distinctive, they conform to a high standard and come with all the amenities you expect from Hyatt. The best are the corner units with views facing the state capitol.Facilities: 2 restaurants; bar; heated outdoor pool; nearby golf course; health club; Jacuzzi; concierge; car-rental desk; business center; full-service salon; room service; in-room massage; babysitting; laundry service; same-day dry cleaning; executive-level rooms.
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.
