I wish someone had reviewed this so I wouldn't have thought twice about going. When I heard about a…read morecandy festival I pictured endless booths of candy, both old fashioned and new. Man, was I in for a surprise. It's held in the parking lot (?) of the Jelly Belly Factory.You had to park far and walk through dirt/gravel to get to the front of the line. They were handing out melted chocolate and you had to pay around $12 per person for entrance. For what? The old looking carnival rides that you still had to purchase tickets for? The 5 maybe 6 booths selling mediocre cupcakes and brownies? Or maybe it was the free show on stage with ladies dressing like they were about to perform in a night club at a family/child targeted event. Ha. They had two actors from the Willy Wonka movie there, but you still had to pay $20 to see them. The only thing I enjoyed was the actual Jelly Belly factory. I've been on the tour before so we skipped that. We headed upstairs to the wine tasting, but we got there too late. I bought chocolate strawberries and a caramel apple, but still left mad and feeling ripped off.

We waited for 50 mins for 5 soggy no flavor havin green tomatoes and under cooked and no flavor having French fries. That was after we saw them serve a customer that was behind us before us who had the same order. She didn't think we noticed but we were standing right at the back of the tent. We saw it go down right before our eyes. It was ridiculous. The car show was nice, the weather was good, but the festival was just not what was advertised.

Brand new attraction alert! Winter Wonderland did not make its way to Sacramento this year so we…read morehad no where to go and see lights with the kids. This place was promoted via the web and social media so we looked into it. It is located right off the freeway (I-80) at the Fairgrounds right next to Discovery Kingdom and Marriott. Lots of parking and for the Saturday night we went it was not too packed. The line did stretch so I would say buy tickets online and plan to spend a little time to get in. You go through security and then get you tickets at booth or show your online ticket to entry staff. there is food and a carnival attached so there is something for those that are hungry or want to tire the kids out. Some free things and some decent priced things. I won't mention price point due to everyone has a different budget constraint. Also I'm cheap! When you have 4 kids gotta be mindful! Hope that helps. Overall the lighting was not too bad, I wish they had more, however that is an unfair comparison to the once Winter Wonderland we are used to. Still a fun experience, but bring your pocket book and take time and take pictures. I'm sure as they get feedback they will add more as did their competition. Check it out before they go its a nice change to get out and see something different and it is located in the middle of the Sac and the Bay. So take a peak and if anything hold your appetite if needed there are a lot of food choices around the area within minutes.

It is a great first time event; small but lots of activities for smaller children and vendors. With…read moreit being around for so many years, I would have liked to see more carnival rides and food options. This event has potential but it seems to be the same thing every year. Last thing to note, it felt safe and was very family friendly.

We decided to go to Fiesta days. As soon as we got there my wife was told she couldn't bring her…read moresmall handbag in. It was 1/2 inch too big. We were told they would be enforcing the clear bag policy. I had to walk back to my vehicle and hide the purse. We went into the park after that and the first thing I was a lady with a black backpack. My wife advised me while waiting for me to get back from the car, a lady walked in with a large purse. The next lady was stopped and told she couldn't bring the purse in. Once inside we noticed numerous large hand bags and backpacks. We noticed that the main entrance was not enforcing the policy. The prices for a small beers are outrages. These are pro sports prices. On the other hand, the band was great. Loved the police presence.

Walt from Walt's Adventures adventuring at the Menagerie Hill Ranch in Vacaville, California…read more Life can be interpreted as more fulfilling when filled with adventures. It is wise to step outside your environment and, in the case of this current venture, go visit an Alpaca farm. The Menagerie Hill ranch has beautiful animals. The host was awesome and knowledgeable. We increased our knowledge of the animals and of the farm but also got to feed them. We also had the opportunities to get close and personal with them for pictures. They were all friendly and fluffy. I recommend this unique experience for all because if you do not just break your usual pattern to stop and smell the roses or to pet and feed an Alpaca, life will pass by before you know it. Put your life on pause just for a few hours and go see the Alpacas. They would like to share peace with you. You can find them at the Menagerie Hill Ranch

This was a memorable trip. We were originally slated to visit in late June before my birthday but…read moreboth Deb and Kirk were recovering from surgery. We stayed in touch over the next several weeks before settling on an August date. We braved the high temps and winding roads to arrive at the ranch. It's a beautiful space on a hillside and you can see the herd and their guardian llama as you pull into the parking lot. We learned a lot about the alpaca life cycle, fed the boys, and my daughter got to hold and carry a cria. We bought two cute alpaca shaped soaps. I didn't experience any of the negativity others have complained about. It is a working ranch so it's not a petting zoo or a tourist attraction. Go with the flow and you'll have a great experience.

After all these years, I am so happy The Western Railway Museum is still here and looking great as…read moreever! My son has been an avid fan or trains since birth! I cannot even count how many train museums we have visited. This past visit was for the Spring Wine Trains with my husband. Suggested to us by none other than our son. He now volunteers here!! YAY! We loved being in the parlor car- you get a charcuterie board and 3 tastings. The group was lively, the hosts were great. It was such a nice time and the weather was perfect that day. They explain the various wines (we had Caymus served to us) and you get a nice little tour of the land/area. We got to chat with our son who was the Operations Brakeman that day and what a treat...on the return ride back, we were offered the rear seats. It was the perfect way to end the ride. We took advantage that your ticket includes entrance to the museum, spring fair and the grounds. We walked around, checked out the trains, the fair and the gift shop. Parking is free and plenty of it is available.

I came here for the Holiday Lights train ride and light display…read more The train ride was not worth the money or time. The train had a string of lights strung around inside with a small speaker playing holiday music at the front of the train. There was nothing to look at during the 15-20 minute ride except some cows and a few wind turbines. The train basically went down the tracks 10 mins and then went back to station in the opposite direction. There were also many loud parents and uncontrolled kids on the train which did not make the experience enjoyable. The light display was okay. You got to see some cool old trains with holiday lights on them. But you could not enter any of the trains in the light display area. The lit up trains were simply a route to go see Santa. The Santa area was really dark which was not great for pictures. The staff promote a cafe with hot chocolate and cider after the train ride and light display. I got a spice cider for $6. It was not good. It was full of pulp and the spices were floating on top. It seemed like the staff did not stir up the cider before serving it. The museum and gift shop are really small and catered more towards kids. The gift shop had some adult clothes and souvenirs (magnets, small figures, etc.) but nothing extraordinary. Overall, I would not recommend this place for the Holiday Lights event. There are better holiday train rides and events in Old Town Sacramento.
