What a fun annual events for all ages!…read more There is free parking in the nearby lot if you get their early or you can park in the neighborhoods and walk into the park. There is also paid parking ($13) that you have to pre-pay online. Follow the signs for "PRE-PAY" and scan the QR code with the person at the gate. Paying for parking was the way to go, it was a short walk into the event when some of my family members had to park far into the neighborhoods. There are some chicken themed vendors and a few chicken dishes can be found at the food trucks. We witnessed a chicken call contest on stage where the person with the best chicken cluck got a gift card for $25! There seemed to be some chicken themed activities for the kids as well. Country music and hay bales as seats. 2 Beer/Wine gardens to ease you from the heat. I bought a load of jalapeno cheese bread from the cutest bakery vendor. We brought our camp chairs and set up under the shade to hear the music and check out the vendors. Beer tickets were $7 and there was a pretty good variety. Fun time!

There is something for all ages…read more Lots of craft and business vendors, a few food trucks, music on multiple stages and a place for the kids to have fun & play. First time attending the festival, my 2 year old granddaughter and I went and had a blast. We walked around the different vendors, received some free items including a cool chicken hat, little chicken squish toys which she loved, and we learned a few things from the vendors. Had a Mango sorbert and Pink Lemonade from one of the food trucks that was the best I have ever had. Yum! Prices were good for the large size of the items. Parking wasn't too bad, we found some at a nearby business who offered their lot to festival patrons and didn't have to walk to far. There was lots of security walking around the festival, which made you feel safe. My granddaughter had so much fun coloring on the Kids Color Board, bouncing in the bounce houses and playing the mini carnival games. We will definitely will be back next year.

Holiday train review - Absolutely spectacular and warm heartening experience for our 3 and 4 year…read moreold girls! I don't know what other low rating patrons are expecting... fireworks? High class service? Jazz band playing in every train car with speakers interconnected? We came expecting nothing and ended up having an incredible experience with beautiful decorations well suited for a sweet, memorable Christmas train experience. Online reservations were simple, easy to obtain, and a lot more affordable compared to the exorbant Polar Express tickets. We're extremely happy that we chose this over Sacramento's Polar Express. It's obvious that their staff spent a lot of time putting work into the trains inner and outter decor - beautiful and creative! Parents and adults FYI - on your way to your reserved train car, there's a small bar after boarding the train. It's very important to load up on your magic drinks before heading to your seat. (Drinks.. not drink! But drink responsibly, of course.) Parking isn't far and although limited, it shouldn't be a problem with reservations handled appropriately. We sang a few Christmas songs with the elves, threw snowballs at the grinch (best part, IMO), met Santa, and had a little fun at Santa's (little) village after the ride. Every sip of their hot cocoa (included with your tickets) was warming and delicious, perfect for cold weather. Couple of cookies came along with it, perfect for our kids to snack on. Overall, this was an incredible experience for our kids! Service was fantastic, ambiance was very jolly and felt like home, staff members are very friendly, and the experience is fantastic for all occasions - family, friends, and dates! The memories are ever lasting and hopefully it becomes a core memory that lasts a lifetime. Highly recommended to experience, at least once, for your little loved ones. We'll be back next year!

We were NEVER SERVED ANY FOOD during our 2-hour Tea Train and could barely get water…read more About 30 minutes after boarding we were given hot water but no tea bags. We eventually found our own. Refills of hot water, cream, and drinking water required chasing down staff. After 45 minutes we began asking where the food was, while people in another section of the car had already ordered and eaten their meals. Staff kept saying the food would come "soon." It never did. At 1 hour 45 minutes the staff disappeared, and the train returned to the station at 2 hours. No food and no explanation. I had to insist on speaking with a manager and got a refund. I still don't understand how this could happen.

This review is months overdue, but I have so many glowing things to say about this company!…read more I worked with Nicole and Vik in Summer 2024 to provide shuttle service for my wedding. Our location was scenic and located at the bottom of a mountain, putting a limit on parked cars on site. We needed to direct people to a local park and ride, and hire a shuttle. This requirement was the most complicated logistic we had to coordinate for the wedding, but working with Regal Carriage reduced all of our stress and made planning a breeze! We called all shuttle companies in the region to inquire, and most companies didn't have the resources, interest, or capacity to support what we needed (we needed a pick up window and multiple drop off windows, which spanned most of the day in a rural area). We were so fortunate to find this company. The first person I spoke to was Nicole who was extremely kind, patient, and made the process welcoming. Immediately when we began planning- i recognized how accountable, communicative, and determined Nicole was to make this work for our wedding day. Vik shared his impressive work history and expertise in navigating complicated roads, which brought me relief as I was nervous having a large vehicle travel on the narrow and winding roads to the site. We needed a complex schedule, so Nicole and Vik worked closely and efficiently with me, my husband, and our day of contact to safely and reliably bring ~30 guests to and from our wedding! They thought of everything.. down to planning ahead for how we could get in contact in an area with spotty cell reception. We rented a 14 seater- the vehicle was so clean and immaculate. Our guests complimented how luxurious the whole experience felt, how safely Vik drove them, and how kind, professional, and friendly he was! You can tell this is a family business that prides themselves on great, caring customer service and going above and beyond. In weddings... not everything is going to go right. But the one thing we were able to count on was Regal Carriage :) Please support this awesome business! Pristina + BK

My favorite local summer concert spot!…read more They just started doing this concert series a couple years ago and I've gone both years. Love it! They set up a big stage and outdoor amphitheater in the parking lot at Sunrise Mall (near Macy's). Maybe, like me, you're thinking "must be pretty small". No! It's pretty darn big. Plenty of room for looots of people and a food/beer/hangout area when you walk in. Parking is free because you just park by Macy's at the mall. Tickets are usually $25-$35 and they have a selection of about 10 different concerts each summer. The first year I saw The Commodores. It was AWESOME! They rocked it! The second year I saw Bel Biv Devoe and Boyz II Men.. friggin' incredible! I will definitely be going back this year. It's an awesome addition to the Citrus Heights area and a great opportunity to see some great live-music! You gotta go!

For the holiday they had some free shamrock sugar cookies, bananas and 100% orange juice and a cute sign displayed outside saying "Welcome Walkers!" The orange juice and cookies were delicious, my toddler and I had some and it was nice having a little bite to eat while we explored the museum! ~A bit of History.. Fair Oaks was developed in 1895 and in 1975 the historical society of Fair Oaks was founded to preserve the history and heritage of the town. This city is now a bustling town full of restaurants, parks, libraries, businesses, an old town and more. Speaking of Old Fair Oaks, ever curious how we got so many chickens and roosters? It all started in 1977 when a man by the name of Hugh Gorman brought 3 chickens and 1 rooster with him from his parent's ranch he grew up on to his new home here in Fair Oaks. What was supposed to be a small population of chickens, after about a year grew to so many that both Gorman and his neighbor's chickens started to venture out of their backyards. This was thanks to some stray roosters and chickens that were first dropped off by an unknown source and impregnated the chickens, despite Gorman moving the roosters out at one point, more and more strays, primarily roosters, were being dropped off. After awhile Gorman couldn't decipher between his own and the strays. I would highly recommend checking out this museum, we sure learned a lot of history and you will too when you visit! While we were there they had books, DVDs, coffee mugs, calendars and more for sale and the man running the shop was very knowledgeable and welcoming as well! Don't forget to sign in with the city you're visiting from and drop in a dollar or two to donate to the museum before you leave!
