Group Activities
Who says you can’t add a little off-agenda fun into your next meeting? Whether it’s within walking distance of downtown or a quick drive away, Sacramento offers a variety of indoor and outdoor activities, ideal for groups to have the ultimate local experience in California’s capital.
From hands-on attractions and outdoor adventures to awe-inspiring murals and unmatched farm-to-table cuisine, here are some of the top things to do with your group when meeting in Sacramento.
Outdoor Opportunities Worth the Outing
Sacramento's temperate weather allows for plenty of outdoor activities, ranging from hiking and {brew}-biking to wandering the streets enjoying the myriad murals painted throughout the city.
Sac Brew Bike
Experience Sacramento by pedaling through the city with your group on the Sac Brew Bike—a 15-passenger, pedal-powered "bar bike" that stops and visits some of Sacramento’s best watering holes. Get ready to feel like a local when cruising the beautiful tree-lined streets of the Midtown area in this fun-filled, open-air group adventure.
Sac Brew Boat
Go from pedaling on land to pedaling on water when your group hops on the Sac Brew Boat—a 16-passenger vessel that provides 1.5-hour pedal-powered party boat tours on the Sacramento River. Groups can bring their own beverages and libations aboard the chartered boat as they cruise, pedal and have fun on the river.
Murals That Amuse
Sacramento is home to more than 650 murals, and since 2016, the Wide Open Walls mural festival has added to the number each year as local and international artists converge in the city to create these large-scale paintings throughout the region—giving locals and visitors a spectacular sight, ideal for a self-guided walking tour with your group.
A Geography Great for a Group Golf Outing
Gather your group for a game on the green! Sacramento boasts pristine golf courses designed to be both serene and challenging, while the nearby Sierra Nevada foothills play host as a stunning, scenic backdrop.
Sacramento Zoo
Groups can enjoy a self-guided expedition throughout the Sacramento Zoo during a scheduled visit. For a more up-close-and-personal zoo adventure, request a private animal encounter or stage show—and take advantage of carousel rides, rock climbing and scavenger hunts offered as ideal team-building opportunities.
Adrenaline-Rushing Adventure Awaits at Mother Lode River Center
Gather your group for thrilling, off-site activities at Mother Lode River Center, and experience expertly guided whitewater rafting trips ranging from mild to wild, an on-site Challenge Ropes Course with Zipline and a beautiful 20-acre private camp on the American River.
Old Sacramento Underground Wine Tasting Room Experience
Focused on providing an exceptional and educational wine tasting experience, groups can enjoy a selection of sips from multiple wineries during an Old Sacramento Underground Wine Tasting Room Experience.
Escape Rooms
Escape room games are fun and engaging social activities where groups can work together. At Enchambered: Sacramento Escape Room, teams of three to 12 people are locked into custom-built, challenging and entertaining themed environments and must work together to solve the many mysteries and puzzles to escape before the clock runs out.
California State Railroad Museum
Located in the Old Sacramento Waterfront district, the California State Railroad Museum’s excursion train rides offer groups a one-of-a-kind activity experience. 2021 marks the 38th consecutive season the excursion trains have been operating in Old Sacramento, returning this year with open-air gondolas pulled by a vintage diesel locomotive from the Museum’s collection.
