I have been coming to this Museum for over 40 years now, from school field trips as a child to…read morebringing my own son as he was growing up and now as an older person to just enjoy some art and spend some time in quiet contemplation. It's a wonderful resource for the area and a very important part of the community. Haggin Museum sits right in the middle of Victory Park. It's a beautiful, serene, green setting with flowers and a little pond and you feel safe here, even though you're in Stockton. It's a great place for kids to come and play and for people to sit and enjoy nature. Inside the museum there is a mix of art and local history. They have Gold Rush era exhibits and recreated period rooms. There are lots of lovely paintings here and although I believe some of the artwork is always here, they regularly have rotating exhibits as well so there is always something new to see. They also have a lot of activities, events and family programs here. It's definitely dated, but that's to be expected for as long as this place has been around. It's affordable though because kids under 10 get in for free and I believe the last time I was here admission was between $5 and $8. They also have a free admission day every first Saturday of the month but it gets really busy so I don't typically visit on that day. It's really great for kids though, and I'm so glad that we have this resource locally. I have lots of great memories of bringing my son and my nieces and nephews here and being a kid here myself. I definitely recommend a visit if you have kids under 10 and want to spend a day educating and enriching them on a budget. Plus they can play at the park after so it will make for a fantastic day.

Lodi Parade of Lights 12/05/2025…read more What a fun, festive & freezing experience. This was my first year bringing my daughter out. Now I know the do's & don'ts! We didn't get to Lodi until 615, this event starts 6:17pm. So we missed the first 25 mins or so (if it started on time) 25 mins driving looking for parking and driving in traffic, but the streets were packed. Just when I was ready to give up, I decide to circle back and found a space 1 block away! It was such a cool experience. Everyone out sitting on their lawn chairs, on the back of their trucks, standing. It was nice seeing the community all come out together. The light show was so creative. Snow falling from the trucks, Christmas music playing. Basically an advertisement for business, schools, etc. You know it's the end of the show when you see the fire truck with Santa & Mrs Claus on the back. Next year I know to come a couple hours or so early to get a good parking, bring a couple lawn chairs and maybe even a throw blanket! I'll also come with my hot chocolate already in hand. I can't wait to see what next year brings!

Kidding aside, Windmill Ranch sells Windmills and parts to repair Windmills. As a sideline, Windmill Ranch is also a tourist attraction.... for a donation of $5.00, you can roam around Windmill Ranch all you want. Call ahead, though, to make sure someone would let you in when you get there. Quite a bit of variety... small ones, big ones, tall ones, short ones. There is enough to see from the road-side, though. OR you can jsut check out the pictures I took ( http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/ixWizlQ3uiHOZmJAWKIZ7Q?select=R5AitKI3FgM60cv9TksMOQ ). Something else you'll learn is what CutOuts are. Take a look at Windmill Ranch's gates, they're the Black, flat silhouette objects attached to the fence gate. I didn't know anything like that existed until I rode by this display in Clements - ( http://www.yelp.com/biz/als-metal-cutouts-lockeford#hrid:zILH5LpQ435QlGm8Yb-oSw ). This far-fetched art / craft is so exclusive to the rural community, no one has even contributed an entry in Wikipedia! Frank Medina, the owner / proprietor, claims to had over a thousand of these Windmills... before his Divorce. I guess the Big "D" had an effect on his finances, that's the reason for the suggested donation. I was thinking to myself of adopting one of these puppies... but I wouldn't want Windmills sprouting up from the ground like weeds. Who would I call to Spay or Neuter these things?

Was here for Lodi comic con…read more The restrooms aside from the one in the front building are old and smelly. The air conditioning does not work most of the day There needs to be update. Trees or something? It makes absolutely no sense to have metal tables in the direction sunlight when it's beyond 90 degrees. Absolutely no sense. Whether it is the actual grounds responsibility or the event organizer. It was not a good look.

I visited this past weekend for Beer Fest, upon the suggestion of a friend affiliated with River…read moreRock Brewery out of Galt, of which I am a big fan. My friend and fellow yelper, with the patient assistance from our DD, came through to taste of the wares for a couple hours on a Saturday afternoon. Tickets were $30 a pop for all you can reasonably drink/taste. Thankfully, the weather was kind, and it was not too hot out. There were also plenty of choices inside the main air-conditioned building, and underneath tents and shade outside too. Direct sunlight was easily avoided for me. Win! Having never been to a beer festival of any kind, I had zero idea what to expect. Line management to get in was kinda eh, but once we had our IDs checked, our wrists banded, our DD settled in, and were corralled into the pen we had ourselves quite a time sampling and re sampling. There was free water everywhere, which was great! BBQ Championship foods were also available, and we tried some nachos and ribs that were excellent. Breweries near and far came, so it wasn't just immediately local beer. We had Oregon and Colorado repping, along with California choices from all up and down the coast and valley. Each brewery booth had anywhere from 3-6 choices. Idol, Five Window, Lodi Beer Co., High Water (where us Campfire Stout fans had pre-gamed beforehand), and Dancing Fox were the ones I tasted from Lodi that I can remember off the top of my head. There were also a few cider (Hemly!) and hard seltzerish (White Claw!) booths. The cover band was pretty good, too. I didn't find the line situation too bad once inside. I never had to wait longer than five minutes per taste. One could go nuts if they wanted, but I like to think I tried to behave myself lol. The indoor plumbing situation was a hot mess, but in a way was nostalgic, reminding me both of the county fair of my youth and also the overflowing Oakland Coliseum bathrooms. Although there were multiple bathroom areas inside, functional plumbing at the time of need was not guaranteed. Closed-toe shoes would have been a good idea, as a mental note to myself for next time. Porta Potties were also available outside, but I did not use these. There was not anything of substance that we could locate for vegans to eat other than beer and stray chips uncovered by meat or dairy. I would come here again for Beer Fest, or perhaps to try out the Grape Festival. Parking was ??? gravel lot and side streets maybe, maybe bring someone from Lodi like we did.

Stockton has been my home for live hockey for a long time now. They are home to a minor league…read morehockey team currently known as the Stockton Heat Hockey Club, although I remember them often as the Stockton Thunder. They play their games at the Stockton Arena in downtown with a large parking garage attached to the arena for easy access. This place is just fun. I am a hockey fan, so I enjoy the action on the ice. You can get really close to the action at a fairly low price here, although I prefer sitting a bit higher to see the whole rink. Tickets are fairly reasonable here, especially if you get packages. I can often walk up to the window right before a game and get good seats. Fan experiences here are really great. They have many theme nights including the famous Teddy Bear Toss and other fun promotions. The place is family friendly with lots of children in attendance and a good atmosphere, although fights on the ice are common and encouraged by the fans. Concessions can get a little pricy though. The Stockton Heat manage to create a great product year after year independent of the team's ability. I have seen them in bad years and in good, and minor league teams always suffer since the good players move up fast. Fortunately, I nearly always have a great time, and even a loss is somehow a win.

Boggs Tract is a community farm that is helping make America great again by bringing a diverse…read moregroup of people together to be sustainable, healthy, and inclusive. Tracts can be rented for a small monthly fee by anyone who is interested. Ellen Powell is the volunteer coordinator. If you rent a plot you will have to volunteer for four hours a month. Volunteering is a wonderful way to learn about gardening and healthy eating. The monthly fee includes compost and water for your plot. There is also a chicken farm here as well. There is ample parking out front. BUFA (Black Urban Farmer's Association) helps to organize the community farm. This is led by the talented and friendly Ines Aldridge and her husband Almas (aka Al). You can find them riding on tractors or planting seeds. They are always ready to offer advice. There are classes every month on the third Sunday of the month at 11:30am. These are open to the public and are free. The list of the classes are listed online. They are run by Shane of Fiery Ginger Farm up in Sacramento. Some of the things we have grown in our little plot include okra, watermelons, melons, tomatoes, Armenian cucumbers, grapes, and eggplants. There is ample parking in front. Getting here is a bit tricky due to road construction. Stockton is ripe for resurgence and rejuvenation. Boggs tract farm is leading the way!
