This popular Sacramento museum in the historic district features exciting permanent exhibits about the history of locomotion. Railroad buffs will also appreciate screening films that chronicle the impact of trains in California railroad history. During the summer, don’t miss out on a train ride along the Sacramento River; the museum provides six-mile tours aboard a working steam engine. The California State Railroad Museum in Sacramento also offers occasional themed train rides, including a Thomas the Tank Engine and Santa Claus train – a perfect children’s activity in Sacramento.   (© 10Best)
