We did the Skull Witch with 2 teens and 3 adults - it was a great way to entertain everyone on a holiday get together. The sets were amazing and authentic looking and awesome sound effects. The puzzles were very challenging. The designers put a lot of effort into making things look authentic and the technology they put into it is amazing. This one is a little scary so should be at least high school age.

We tried Ninja Protocol on our first visit here with our college grad son. It is a hidden gem tucked into a little strip mall on Howe Ave.! Still newbies to the escape room world, we found the puzzles to be challenging yet still doable. And SO MUCH FUN! Our escape guide Larry was suitably helpful and enthusiastic and added to the element of fun. We started in a nice prep room with lockers and candy for a briefing on our mission. The room design and props were great and added to the enjoyment of our adventure. We got soooo close to saving the world (ha!) that Larry let us finish our final puzzle. That was a nice personal touch. Highly recommended!

When I walked in, I felt a nostalgic feeling...and sure enough it was just that with a up to date flair. (serving alcohol..LOL) I saw the Aretha Franklin Movie Amazing Grace. Old school seats with many stairs to walk up. It was a cool theatre.

I am a huge fan of Article, and have been for several years. Abe and Val, and all of their staff, are the nicest and most helpful people. The boutique(s) are beautifully merchandised, well lit, and have spacious and attractive fitting rooms. I used the (s) because there are two locations, adjacent. One is couture and more formal, and the other is activewear and everyday clothes, shoes, and bags. They also have jewelry, accessories, and now a bit of home goods. Their web presence is great too; there is a daily showing of some of the latests items, always ending with a couture grand finale. You can buy online and they'll even ship to you. I also consign there. They are picky, but if you bring the right kind of things in season, they usually take some of it. Then you get credit on anything you buy. You can also earn points for shopping that gives you a discount. I could go on and on, but just visit if you have a chance.

My wife and I have done both Capitol scavenger hunts (inside and out), and both were lots of fun, informative and good exercise. (The Capitol Park hunt can be done during the Covid crisis as it is all outside and not crowded.) We have lived in Sacramento for decades and did not all of the facts and interesting tidbits in and around the Capitol. Great activity for all ages, young and old, Sacramento locals or visitors. Highly recommended and affordably priced. Buy multiple tours and divide your coworkers, friends or family into groups for fun competition. You will have a blast!

Opened in 1949, the spectacular Crest quickly became the city's top theater, which it remains today.
Reviewed By doctorbove - Sacramento, United States
The Crest is a Sacramento landmark. My girlfriend and I are lucky enough to see movies here quite frequently, and we love it! The old theater has charm and style, and makes for a fun date night. We usually walk down, grab a bite to eat nearby before or after, and enjoy a drink at the show. They have a diverse selection of films and concerts, and the staff is always very friendly and accommodating. This next month alone, we plan on seeing The Muppet Christmas Carol, Love Actually, and It's a Wonderful Life! Keep up the good work, and we'll see you soon!
