[Residence Inn Sacramento Folsom](https://ourplayday.com/places/residence-inn-sacramento-folsom) (hotel, Folsom). Kitchen suites on Iron Point Road, for a few nights when you'd rather cook than drag tired kids to a restaurant. 2. [Beals Point (Folsom Lake State Recreation Area)](https://ourplayday.com/places/beals-point-folsom-lake) (attraction, Folsom). A Folsom Lake beach with a big grassy picnic area, kayak and paddleboard rentals and the start of the American River bike trail. How much beach you get depends on the lake level. 3. [Hampton Inn & Suites Folsom](https://ourplayday.com/places/hampton-inn-suites-folsom) (hotel, Folsom). An easy Folsom base off Highway 50, with connecting rooms for when one room won't cut it and a free shuttle to places nearby. 4. [Livermore Community Park](https://ourplayday.com/places/livermore-community-park) (playground, Folsom). A sports park with a very Folsom twist: a replica gold-rush mining flume that pours into a shallow creek kids wade through in summer. There's a playground too. 5. [BusyKids Play Town and Coffee Shop](https://ourplayday.com/places/busykids-play-town-folsom) (attraction, Folsom). A mini pretend town modelled on real Folsom shops, with an espresso bar for the grown-ups. Kids one to ten run the town while you drink your coffee hot for once. 6. [Folsom Powerhouse State Historic Park](https://ourplayday.com/places/folsom-powerhouse-state-historic-park) (park, Folsom). The 1895 power plant that first lit up Sacramento, with the giant old generators still inside. Best for school-age kids, and a short walk from Sutter Street. 7. [Lembi Community Park](https://ourplayday.com/places/lembi-community-park) (playground, Folsom). 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. 8. [Folsom Public Library](https://ourplayday.com/places/folsom-public-library) (library, Folsom). 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. 9. [Karen's Bakery Cafe](https://ourplayday.com/places/karens-bakery-cafe-folsom) (bakery, Folsom). 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. 10. [Lake Natoma Inn](https://ourplayday.com/places/lake-natoma-inn) (hotel, Folsom). 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. 11. [Skipolini's Folsom](https://ourplayday.com/places/skipolinis-folsom) (restaurant, Folsom). Pizza and pasta with big tables for groups and the Junior Chef, where kids build their own pizza at the table. No play structure at this one. 12. [Castle Park](https://ourplayday.com/places/castle-park-folsom) (playground, Folsom). Folsom's beloved castle playground, rebuilt and reopened in 2026 with the turrets and the dragon slide back. There's a toddler area and a big-kid side, plus swings built for kids of all abilities. 13. [Folsom History Museum](https://ourplayday.com/places/folsom-history-museum) (museum, Folsom). Folsom's Gold Rush history on Sutter Street, small enough for short attention spans. Pair it with a walk down the old street. 14. [Altitude Trampoline Park Sacramento - Folsom](https://ourplayday.com/places/altitude-trampoline-park-folsom) (park, Folsom). Open trampolines, air bags, dodgeball and dunk lanes in Folsom, better for bigger kids who can handle the crowd. 15. [Chicago Fire Folsom](https://ourplayday.com/places/chicago-fire-folsom) (restaurant, Folsom). Deep dish at the Palladio, with personal-size pizzas, chicken tenders and plain spaghetti that suit a kid, and sundaes for the end. 16. [Folsom City Zoo Sanctuary](https://ourplayday.com/places/folsom-city-zoo-sanctuary) (zoo, Folsom). A small zoo for rescued animals that can't go back to the wild, which makes for a nice conversation with a kid who asks why the bear is here. Open a few days a week only, so check before you go. 17. [Folsom Valley Railway](https://ourplayday.com/places/folsom-valley-railway) (attraction, Folsom). A miniature steam train that has been looping through City Lions Park since 1970, right around the Folsom zoo. Ten minutes of pure joy for a train kid. It doesn't run in the rain or on the hottest days. ## About this list Every place here is a listing on Play Day, and a place is listed only when something positive is known about it for kids.
