Looking for fun ways to keep the whole family entertained in Sacramento? You’re in luck! The capital city is brimming with activities that cater to kids and adults alike, ensuring everyone has a great time. Whether you have a toddler who loves to explore, a curious pre-teen, or even teens who need a little convincing to join family outings, The City of Trees has something for everyone.
From fascinating museums to outdoor adventures and charming restaurants to satisfy picky eaters, this guide will help you create lasting memories with your family. Let’s take a look at the best spots the city has to offer.
Museums might sound like a hard sell for kids, but Sacramento’s museums are anything but boring. Packed with hands-on exhibits and exciting displays, they make learning fun and engaging for the whole family.
The California State Railroad Museum is a standout. Located in the heart of Old Sacramento, it’s a train lover’s dream. Climb aboard beautifully restored locomotives, step into vintage train cars, and learn about how railroads shaped California’s history. Younger kids will love the Thomas the Tank Engine play area, while older kids and parents will appreciate the rich storytelling and craftsmanship of the exhibits.
For younger children, the Sacramento Children’s Museum is a must-visit. This interesting space is all about creativity and play. Kids can splash around in the water play zone, build structures in the construction corner, or pretend they’re grocery shopping in the miniature market. It’s a safe, fun environment that keeps little hands and minds busy.
If your family has budding scientists or history buffs, the Powerhouse Science Center is the perfect spot. The interactive exhibits cover everything from dinosaurs to space exploration. Don’t miss the planetarium shows, which are a fun way to learn about the stars and planets in an engaging, kid-friendly way.
Mild weather and abundant green spaces make this an ideal city for outdoor family adventures. Whether you’re strolling, biking, or just soaking in the fresh air, there’s no shortage of things to do.
The American River Parkway is a local favorite. With miles of trails winding through beautiful landscapes, it’s perfect for family bike rides, walks, or even a day of exploring nature. Bring a picnic basket and stop by one of the riverside spots to enjoy lunch with a view.
For families with younger children, Fairytale Town is a wonderful destination where nursery rhymes and fairy tales come to life. Slide down the Crooked Mile, explore Cinderella’s carriage, or climb aboard the pirate ship. The park also hosts seasonal events, like storytime and costume days, which add even more fun to your visit.
If animals are a hit with your kids, the Sacramento Zoo is always a crowd-pleaser. It’s home to over 500 animals, from majestic giraffes to playful red pandas. Interactive experiences, like feeding giraffes or watching animal enrichment activities, make it an unforgettable day for everyone.
After a busy morning of exploring, it’s time to refuel and Sacramento’s food scene delivers. Finding places that offer something delicious for everyone can be tricky, but this city has you covered.
For a relaxed meal, head to a cozy Sacramento restaurant where everyone can unwind. Look for menus that include hearty comfort foods kids love, like wood-fired pizza, burgers, or mac and cheese, alongside more elevated options for the grown-ups. Many spots offer outdoor seating or fun, casual vibes that make dining out with little ones stress-free.
If your kids have a sweet tooth, consider stopping by a local dessert shop or ice cream parlor. Places like Gunther’s Ice Cream are perfect for a post-meal treat, with a variety of flavors that cater to every preference. Watching the kids’ eyes light up as they pick their favorite cone or sundae is a highlight in itself.
Sometimes, the best family activities are the ones that let everyone sit back and enjoy a shared experience. You can find a range of options that are fun for kids and nostalgic for adults.
Check out the West Wind Sacramento Drive-In for an old-school movie night. Pack the car with blankets, pillows, and snacks, and settle in to watch a double feature under the stars. Kids will love the novelty of watching movies outdoors, and parents can enjoy a touch of nostalgia.
Another great option is the B Street Theatre’s Family Series, which features live performances designed for younger audiences. Whether it’s a whimsical play or an engaging story brought to life on stage, these shows are entertaining for all ages. It’s a fantastic way to introduce kids to the magic of theater in a way that’s approachable and fun.
Family-friendly calendar is packed year-round, with something exciting happening in every season.
In the fall, head to Apple Hill Orchards for apple picking, hayrides, and fresh-baked treats. Kids will love exploring pumpkin patches and munching on caramel apples, while parents can enjoy the picturesque views.
Winter brings the magic of the holidays with events like the Downtown Ice Rink, where families can skate together under twinkling lights. Many neighborhoods also feature dazzling holiday light displays that you can explore on foot or by car.
Spring and summer are packed with outdoor concerts, farmers’ markets, and festivals. These events often include kids’ zones with games, bounce houses, and activities, making them perfect for families.
Sacramento is more than just California’s capital. It’s a treasure trove of family-friendly activities that cater to every interest and age group. Whether you’re exploring hands-on museums, wandering through parks, dining out, or catching a movie under the stars, every experience here is an opportunity to create lasting memories.
So, what are you waiting for? Grab your family, head out into the city, and discover the best of what Sacramento has to offer. Adventure, laughter, and connection are waiting for you just around the corner.

On Jan 27th, we will be glued to our screens to enjoy S29 of ABC’s The Bachelor which is being helmed by Grant Ellis who was on Jenn Tran’s S21 of The Bachelorette! We watched him navigate his relationship with her until he was eliminated in week 6 right before Hometowns!
A few weeks back, a first look of the women competing in his season was provided via ABC’s The Bachelor Facebook account!
They just released the contestants official images and we wanted to make sure you see these women.
As we do each season, we have shared these images (we’ll update their ABC gallery images) and we’ll begin to make the best guess on who will be going to Hometowns! We can’t wait to see how Grant and Jesse Palmer will vibe as he continues through the season and what surprises will be along the way.
Each night during this season, we will tweet about The Golden Bachelorette and you can chat along with us (@AthleisureMag + with our Co-Founder/Creative + Style Director, Kimmie Smith @ShesKimmie) to see what’s taking place!
Each week we will let you know who our faves were from the last episode and if we’ve changed up since then as it pertains to who we think should go to Hometowns.
We also suggest a podcast that we’ve become obsessed with over the past few seasons, Wondery’s Bachelor Happy Hour to get their feedback!

Vegan protein shakes are a healthy, plant-based alternative to traditional protein supplements. They are rich in essential amino acids and help athletes and fitness enthusiasts recover from their workouts, enabling them to meet their daily protein needs. A smooth and tasty shake is crucial not only for improving the overall experience but also for ensuring maximum nutrient absorption and consistency in your routine. In this guide, we’ll share practical tips on how to create the perfect vegan protein shake, from selecting the right ingredients to achieving the ideal texture and flavor.
It is also important to note that the source of protein will determine the best vegan protein powder, as pea, rice, and hemp-based plant options have different amino acid profiles and nutritional benefits. Always check for added sugars or artificial ingredients since these can detract from the health benefits of the shake and affect the taste. Furthermore, when one chooses a protein powder with a smooth texture, the product will blend easily, and the shake will be more creamy, thus making the entire experience enjoyable and effective in fitness.
A high-speed blender is very important to be able to mix your vegan protein shake properly. This way, all the ingredients get mixed up thoroughly to provide a smooth and creamy texture without any clumps, especially when you mix with milk and water. Additionally, frozen ingredients get blended into the mixture properly, and that's what makes a great shake thick and satisfying.
It is usually best to add the liquid first, such as almond milk or coconut water, before adding protein powder. The shake tends to blend easily, and the powder won't stick to the blender sides. You can blend with milk for a creamier version or with water for a lighter and refreshing version.
Including frozen fruits or vegetables will add more flavor and texture to the shake. These ingredients give the added natural sweetness along with more nutrients and also help in thickening up the shake. Frozen berries, spinach, or bananas make up for great add-ons as they provide an interesting flavor while increasing the nutritional content.
You can add different flavor combinations that complement the base protein powder to enhance the taste of your vegan protein shake. Popular pairings such as chocolate-banana or berry-vanilla are both delicious and packed with nutrients. Get creative with your mixes, adding tropical fruits like pineapple and mango for a refreshing twist or combining nut butters for a richer taste. These combinations allow the taste buds to enjoy their shakes while keeping the nutritious goals in check.
For added sweetness, you could also use natural sweeteners like dates or maple syrup. These alternatives are far healthier than refined sugar, yet they add their own unique flavors. Adding spices or extracts like cinnamon or vanilla extract can add a little flavor to your shake with almost no calories, warming you up with a taste that makes the experience. With a little experimentation, you can find the flavor combination that suits your vegan protein shake best.
Add ice cubes or other frozen ingredients, such as fruits and vegetables, in order to make your thick, more satisfying vegan protein shake. The added ingredients will not only chill your protein shake but also improve texture, creating a creamy texture that is refreshing and also filling. Frozen ingredients often are used to enhance the whole mouthfeel of the shakes without diluting the flavor.
For the smoothest texture, blend for a longer time, fully breaking down the ingredients until they are well mixed. The addition of this extra blending time ensures that all of the particles are fully integrated and there is no grittiness from the protein powder. If you're going for an especially silky smooth drink, you can always strain it through a fine mesh to get rid of any excess particles, leaving you with an extremely smooth drink that goes down easily.
To fully enjoy your vegan protein shake, pour it into a chilled glass. This step keeps the refreshing temperature of the shake and can make a big difference in taste. A cool glass ensures that every sip is as satisfying as the first, making the shake even more enjoyable.
For a little extra flair, top your shake with nuts, seeds, or coconut flakes. They add texture and flavor and provide a nice crunch contrast to the smoothness of the shake. Whether it's chia seeds for an added nutritional boost or crushed almonds for a savory crunch, toppings make the experience all that much better.
Finally, take your time and sip your shake slowly, letting the flavors linger. You will enjoy every mouthful of this shake, as you've worked hard to perfect its taste and texture, so it's not only healthy but also enjoyable. The more you savor, the more enjoyable the shake becomes in your routine.

The iGaming world is truly limitless in 2025: users can hardly try all online casinos since the number of market players constantly grows. Undeniably, many risk-seekers opt for renowned brands when searching for a gambling destination, while smaller companies are left without attention. And it’s a common mistake: independent platforms operate outside huge gaming networks and often provide customers with juicier conditions. Explore the best these online casinos offer if you still need any reasons to try them!
Convenience, trustworthiness, access to tons of content, and generous bonuses are among the main criteria for players selecting a gaming site. Of course, many choose renowned gambling networks with excellent reputations that have been operating in the sector for decades. However, these platforms often lack personalisation and a comfortable customer experience. That’s why independent casinos by Non-GamStop-Betting.com are gaining popularity. They highlight the unique benefits of these platforms, offering players a chance to explore alternatives to traditional gambling giants. Let’s delve into the top opportunities they provide.
Besides lucrative bonuses and endless libraries, casino enthusiasts consider the operator’s reputation. Trusted gaming sites must operate under the control of responsible authorities, and independent gambling companies often select offshore regulators. Organisations like Curaçao eGaming and MGA have excellent reputations in the iGaming market and are known for their high licensing standards. The availability of certification is the primary indicator of the online casino’s reliability, and here, independent platforms are in no way inferior to big international brands.
You might say that every gaming site now offers impressive promotions for new and regular customers, and nothing is surprising about free spins, deposit boosts, and other perks. However, independent brands are smaller than giant gambling corporations, with lower operational expenses. In this case, they can afford to provide customers with higher bonuses, which undeniably increase user engagement on the platform. Multilevelled promotional campaigns with dozens of rewards are becoming the new reality – and every player has the chance to explore these benefits.
Immersive experiences are the latest industry trend: many players are no longer inspired by spinning reels for hours and search for alternative entertainment options. Live dealer games can perfectly replace land-based casinos since they are held in real-time, with croupiers and members competing for the winner’s title.
Shows imply gambling competitions with massive cash prizes, and independent sites often initiate such events. Players are inspired by the possibility of showing their gambling skills and winning significant sums, so they gladly engage in live games. A smaller number of users in the online casino boosts winning possibilities: this factor helps competitive gamblers increase their profits.
Imagine yourself joining a gambling platform with thousands of users playing simultaneously and regularly requesting withdrawals. In this case, you can hardly count on fast payments, which is not the case with independent online casinos. These gaming sites are less popular among risk-seekers, providing members with lightning-fast withdrawals.
Gambling companies operating under the control of offshore regulators don’t have any restrictions on banking options. Therefore, gambling lovers can select e-wallets and cryptocurrencies to accelerate payouts and receive their winnings within a few hours. Moreover, users have more flexible deposit and withdrawal limitations, making independent gaming sites attractive to both low-budget customers and high-rollers.
Giant operators usually work under the control of regulatory bodies like the UK Gambling Commission that have limitations on game collections and bonuses. Hence, many platforms only collaborate with renowned developers and offer smaller portfolios. At the same time, independent casinos often opt for younger software providers beginning their way in the iGaming market.
These companies have great potential to become industry leaders in the future since they pay special attention to their products’ quality. Since they are yet to gain excellent reputations, their games sometimes pay more than timeless bestsellers, so members of independent online casinos can boost their initial stakes without significant effort.
We bet that many gamblers, especially beginners, have multiple questions and may face difficulties when starting their casino journey. Huge gaming networks have a higher customer turnover, so players may face delays when contacting the support team. At the same time, smaller non-GamStop online casinos concentrate on high-quality customer service. Users can get comprehensive replies in minutes and enjoy seamless experiences with maximum benefits.
Many users fear joining independent gambling sites, considering them less reliable than giant casino networks. However, these platforms also operate under licensing from regulatory bodies and provide customers with a fair and secure environment. In addition, independent casinos offer higher bonuses and limitless portfolios, attracting players. Users can explore hundreds of free spins, massive deposit boosts, thrilling game contests, and, of course, increased winning opportunities. Complemented by exceptional support services, these online casinos are growing in demand and have a huge potential.
