Wheelchair and stroller accessible places in Sacramento
8 places.
A solar-system playground built so kids of every ability can use it, with ramps, spinners and separate areas for babies, preschoolers and big kids. There's a pond with fishing piers too.
A big art museum that actually plans for kids: Tot Land downstairs is for play, books and making things, and there are loaner strollers at the door. Do the galleries first and save Tot Land for the reward.
Suites at the edge of Capitol Park, so dinner can be mac and cheese in your room after a day on your feet.
A burger place on R Street with its own beer for you and plain burgers, grilled cheese and hot dogs on the kids' menu.
Free tours of the Capitol itself, open on weekdays only. Expect a security line and no toy weapons, then let the kids run it off on the lawns outside.
A small, walkable zoo tucked into Land Park, with giraffes you can feed from a raised deck and a carousel your kid will ask to ride twice. Fairytale Town and Funderland are right across the street, so it's easy to make a whole day of it.
Huge restored locomotives you can walk right up to (and into), in Old Sacramento. Train-obsessed kids lose their minds here, and on weekends a real excursion train runs along the river.
Gold Rush Sacramento in Old Sacramento, and the people who run the Underground Tours of the buried streets below it. The tour is the part school-age kids remember.
