I recently hosted a party with friends here. We ended up using this covered picnic area that is…read moreadjacent to the restroom, playground, as well as the outdoor workout area. I had my partner call in to ask if we could reserve the picnic area, since we were pretty set in hosting our party there. They told us there was no need for reservation, as it was first-come-first served, which is cool, but also made us nervous at the same time because we had to ensure that we got there early enough to claim the area. We went there on a Sunday morning at 7 am, and it was available for us. We took several weeks to scope it out. The covered area has 6 picnic tables, as well as trash/recycle bins, BBQ area, and an electrical outlet box towards the main walkway. The outlet was very helpful for us to have our speakers. There is light inside of the box so you can see what you're plugging into. Something to note is that the tables are kind of dirty looking, so you may want to get some table cloths to cover them. The surface area of the tables are about 32 inches wide and 92 inches long. I would recommend definitely getting table cloths bigger than this surface area size, and also bring tape! It is also totally possible to hang banners at the top of the covering, but make sure you have someone tall enough to reach the beams. As for the bathrooms, they are fairly clean for a park and are spacious. There is a lot of nature which makes this park so unique. There is a lot of duck poop in certain areas, so beware! This park gets pretty busy in the evenings during the summer. The other features of District56 is that there is plenty of free parking, lots of field space, and there is essentially a senior community center with a cafe, and a recreational swimming area. As for the workout area, it is pretty nice because the have structures in which they provide guidance on how to use it, and also different level platforms. The recreational swimming area/aquatic center--you can host parties here, but it is limited in the hours you can reserve. Admission prices are pretty reasonable. On the day we went, there was a party earlier in the day, and they opened to the public around 1 pm. There was a line already forming about half an hour before opening time (lots of families), which was surprising. We perused the area, and it seems pretty nice, as there are lots of lounging areas under umbrellas. The thing that is kind of unfortunate is that the senior community center is closed on the weekends. This is important because if you're looking for a public restroom, you won't get access to that or the aquatic center unless you pay admission. Therefore, you have to walk all the way back to the park for a public restroom. I wished they put a public restroom right i between the community center and the aquatic center. All things considered, this is probably one of the nicest parks in Elk Grove!

What I noticed during art competitions is: staff associated with the art center participates in the competitions, also the patrons. In doing this, it doesn't feel right nor fair that most of the staff and patrons won an award for their art pieces. I wish they would set a day for themselves to show off their talents separate from the competitions. Better yet, have their own competition participated by just the staff and patrons. Hope this review does not discourage the art center, but encourage them to do better, there is always room for improvement.

Eli is so skilled at creating instant community in his classes. He creates a safe space for us all to be vulnerable with one another.

The creation of this community from the first class allows all of us to immediately feel comfortable with one another so that we can get to work and support each other every step of the way leading up to our concert.

I like their soda machines because there are a lot of drink options. I wish they served kettle popcorn here. The auditoriums are smaller. They do have recliners and D-BOX options. I'm not sure why, but Cinemark theaters don't have tables with the seats. It'd be nice if there were tables so we could have our food there. Overall, the theater is clean. They also have a lot of movie showings, including foreign movies.

The Yelp page threw me off without that Cinemark because I am a Movie Club member and am able to build rewards and purchase tix on their app. I watched a movie here for the first time while waiting for a friend to finish her work and hang out after. How fortunate that she lives just a block away from the theater. Inside is nice with a clean, spacious lobby. The concession stand offered popcorn, snacks, with full bar and Starbucks onsite. I didn't purchase any snacks this time because of dinner plans with my friend but I can always expect fresh buttery popcorn at any Cinemark theaters. The auditorium I was in was also clean with comfy recliners, XD screen and DBOX seats. Review #4042

We were able to go at our own pace without feeling the need to rush, so that was nice. As for the courses, they were okay. I wish they were more spaced out. At the end of each course and near the hole, there's a part where the barrier is low. Our balls kept going out and into the next course, which was a little annoying. In course 3, my cousin's ball got stuck in the castle/building prop. We were really confused when the ball didn't come out the other side, but we were able to find and take it out of the hole it was stuck in. Overall, we still had fun, but I don't know if I would come here again.

It was stupidly crowded, music so loud we had to yell at eachother. The place had more of a bar/club vibe than anything else. We decided to wander next door and check out the mini golf instead. Some 2000's throwback music was playing (but not obnoxiously loud) , a kids birthday party was wrapping up in the corner, and a handful of couples seemed to be enjoying their date nights. We decided to give this place a try. Overall it was a solid choice of entertainment for the evening. But I took a few stars away for the following reasons: 1. Cleanliness could be better. I sure hope they sanitize regularly. Might I even suggest hand sanitizer available and trash cans throughout the course. 2. The putting green where you place the ball at the start of each hole we're loose and spinning or completely detached on many of the holes. It made it difficult to hit the ball without making it move and fumble. These need to get repaired

Parking can be tough, but there is overflow parking. I remember going to this branch's original location on Elk Grove Blvd where Pinot's Palette/Hobby Quest are now when I was in high school. This 2-story library is small but I've never had a bad experience here. Downstairs is the children's books/movie selection, and upstairs are teens/adults, including foreign, fiction, nonfiction, and new items. I've found a few cool "Lucky Day" items such as new release movies on DVD, or in-demand popular book series such as Fourth Wing/Iron Flame, and It Starts With Us (sequel to It Ends With Us). If the branch doesn't carry your desired item on shelf, you can always request a hold from another library within Sac Lib system, or outside (via LINK+) and have it transited to be picked up and checked out at whichever branch. I've gotten materials this way from the Bay Area, and even Southern California (such as CD soundtracks for musicals Broadway Cast recordings, or obscure foreign films or books). The Holds pickup shelf is on the first floor to the left of the entrance, alphabetized by last name. You can also use your library card to access digital books (Overdrive or Hoopla) via Libby. Your card also has other perks such as museum discount passes or state park passes. If you need to make photocopies, they have a black and white copier which accepts coins. Logging onto the computers to browse is free for a certain time limit, but to print does also cost money per page. Not sure about magazines, however, they do have free copies of local newspapers too (Elk Grove Citizen and Galt Herald). They have self checkouts (magnetic mats) and barcode scanners, but if you need assistance there is a helpdesk on each floor. Elevators and stairs, restrooms clean. Chairs for reading, and more private conference/study rooms too can be reserved in advance. Self-return touchscreen conveyor outside, and an old-fashioned drop box for items that won't scan properly, otherwise can take inside to return in person at the desk. During the pandemic they also had free Covid test kits at this location. They don't have a "Library of Things" at this branch, but during Covid they also loaned out Chromebooks and Wi-Fi Hotspots. If you are getting a brand new library card or renewing, they also carry a few card "styles" to choose from -- I have a "Light The Beam" Sacramento Kings purple card. They do also have special events such as family story time (also bilingual), teen space, senior social, STEAM activities, tween comics group, etc.

Sky River Casino: 24/7 Casino with Lots to Do!!!…read more Sky River Casino is open 24 hours, but guests must be 21+. Opened in August 2022, it's huge, with 2,500 slot machines, 81 table games, 18 restaurants and bars, and bright screens and lights everywhere. Parking: Free, with a large covered garage (1,600 spaces) plus outdoor parking. Valet is also available. Restrooms: Clean, bright, and well maintained. FOOD: The Market has 10 food spots with everything from street tacos and sushi to pizza and desserts. Most close around 10pm, but the breakfast counter is open 24 hours. Non-alcoholic drinks like coffee, water, and soft drinks are complimentary while actively playing. Free alcohol isn't provided on the casino floor. I was impressed to learn that players have already won more than $5.7 million in table-game jackpots this year! There's also a big expansion underway since April 2026, with a new 300-room hotel, luxury spa and salon, Vegas-style outdoor pool, and botanical atrium coming. Birthday perks: Up to $1,000 in Free Play through Swipe & Win, a $5 dining credit, plus a chance to win $250 in Free Slot Play through the monthly drawing. ***Biggest downside for me: Smoking is allowed throughout the casino floor, with no designated non-smoking area. The lingering cigarette smell can be pretty strong. Cannabis smoking is prohibited. They also host events like Ladies Night at the Humidor with bourbon and cigars, plus live DJs on Friday and Saturday nights. Overall, a huge casino with plenty of food, entertainment, and amenities, but the smoke is definitely a dealbreaker for me.

Yelo says, "How would you rate your experience?"…read more I bought in for blackjack single deck $25 minimum for $600. I only one 1 hand in total after playing not even 20 hands of $25-100 bets. I could not win a single hand. I won 2 hands in total which was an 88 split and another hand where dealer busted. Other than that I lost every single hand. Even the dealer told me, "I didn't even give you a chance." Yeah that's how you don't get a tip either. (Nahh I would have if I won). Crazy crazy blackjack experience. I've never encountered anything like it. I cut the deck, and 2 others did too. It didn't matter. Luck was on the dealer's side tonight. So how would I rate my experience for my 2nd time here since they first opened? A pretty one and I probably won't come back

The chicken and bacon were perfectly cooked and the salad was fresh. My sandwich was hands down one of the best tri tip sandwiches that I have had. The ciabatta bread was perfectly toasted, there was a killer pesto sauce and a cheese on there that tied this together in the best way. I havent even got to the tri tip yet which was very flavorful and perfectly cooked! Just a great experience at a great place!
