Northern California Things To Do
12
items Fun things to do in the Sacramento/Placerville, CA area that are mostly family friendly.
Fun for the whole family. There's tons of things to do for adults and kids, especially around the holidays. I grew up going every year for Halloween to pick my pumpkin from the pumpkin patch and eat fresh, apple fritters with apple cider made fresh a...
Apple Hill Growers Association - Open Year Round
Brown's Ravine was the go-to for me because of it's proximity to my area, but there are much prettier locations. Great place to cool off in the summer, or get together for barbecues. Some locations offer jet ski rentals too which is always fun!
Folsom Lake State Recreation Area - California State Parks
Lovely family outing where you can feed the fish and learn about the different types of fish that live in the surrounding areas. Great place to make memories and take young kiddos to learn about how cool fish can be!
Nimbus Fish Hatchery
Another fun, summer outing for the whole family with paddleboard rentals, and an inflatable obstacle course type of area for the family
Sac State Aquatic Center
If you like cute little towns, Maine Street in Placerville is a fun little place to walk. They have a ton of boutique shops and if you're into the paranormal, they have the famous Carrie House Hotel, and the oldest hardware store West of the Mississi...
Placerville, California
History buffs, this one is for you. Home of the California Gold Rush and Sutters Mill, Coloma offers gold panning, and beautiful scenery to be enjoyed year round but is most beautiful in the spring/summer months
Coloma, California
Take a step back in time at Gold Bug Park! Great for history buffs, or just for a fun thing to do, explore a real gold mine from the Gold Rush days while learning about the local area during that time. They also offer gem panning, have a historic sta...
Gold Bug Park
If you like a little spook with your Sauvignon Blanc, this is the place to be. Nestled in the beautiful scenery of Placerville, CA across from the Placerville Union Cemetery, is the Nello Olivo Winery. Great venue for wine tasting, with a 19th centu...
Nello Olivo Winery
It doesn't look like much, but it is a wonderful piece of history and a fun place to take photos
Sutter's Mill
One of the most gorgeous, scenic pieces of land that Northern California has to offer. Ice House is known for its shimmering, clear lakes since they're mostly the winter runoff from the mountains, campsites, and fishing. If you love the outdoors, I'd...
Ice House, Eldorado National Forest - Recreation.gov
Another fun place to go with delicious food, cute boutique shops, and during Christmas they have a tree lighting where they retell A Christmas Carol with lightshows and live actors.
Old Sacramento Waterfront
For the 21+ crowd, the Flamingo house is such a cute little bar in Sacramento, CA. The drinks are delicious, the vibes are amazing, and the people are so easy-going. I've never had a bad experience here with customers or staff! If you're into the soc...
