February 3rd, 2018 is the 20th Annual Sacramento Museum Day when over 25 museums in and around the Sacramento area open their doors to families for free or at a reduced cost. My boys and I attend every single year. Our annual tradition is to go to the California State Railroad Museum (awesome toy train exhibits and hands-on fun upstairs) in the morning and check out a new museum from the list for the afternoon. The following is a list of participating museums for 2018:
California Agriculture Museum – California Automobile Museum – California Museum – California State Capitol Museum – California State Library – California State Railroad Museum – Don & June Salvatori California Pharmacy Museum – Fairytale Town – Leland Stanford Mansion State Historic Park – Locke Boarding House Museum – Maidu Museum & Historic Site (Roseville) – Museum of Medical History – Old Sacramento Schoolhouse Museum – Old Sacramento State Historic Park – Powerhouse Science Center Discovery Campus – Roseville Utility Exploration Center – Sacramento Children’s Museum – Sacramento Historic City Cemetery – Sacramento History Museum – Sacramento Zoo – Sojourner Truth African American Museum – State Indian Museum – Sutter’s Fort State Historic Park – Verge Center for the Arts – Wells Fargo History Museum (Capitol Mall) – Wells Fargo History Museum (Old Sacramento)
