BusyKids Play Town and Coffee Shop

Open trampolines, air bags, dodgeball and dunk lanes in Folsom, better for bigger kids who can handle the crowd.

Folsom's sports park, wrapped around the aquatic center, with playgrounds between the fields and a trail that joins the bike path. Great if a big sibling has a game.

Folsom's Gold Rush history on Sutter Street, small enough for short attention spans. Pair it with a walk down the old street.

Folsom's library, with a picture book room and drop-in story time for little ones, a short walk from the zoo and the mini train.

A bakery café a block from Sutter Street: order at the counter, grab a table on the big patio, and they bring it out. The cake case is the whole point.

An independent inn at the edge of Historic Folsom, walking distance to Sutter Street and the river bike trail. The Premium rooms sleep four, and the pool is summer only.
