There's quite a few walking trails, some granite ruins/walls, and a pretty big open grass area for picnics and what not! I think they do some sort of free tours on the weekends, but I'm not sure what really goes on for those. If you have offspring, this is probably a pretty cool spot to take the kids out and wear them down! If you decide to come out after dark, don't forget your flashlight, at night the walking trails seem to send you in circles, which is always fun if your with someone who scares easily!

I went with my 2 kids this year (2010) and had a great time. The music was fun, the vendors were…read moregreat. Unfortunately the motorcycle display was underrepresented (next time go ask the A&S BMW folks to bring their collection and friends also) The only downside was the ribs. A half rack of 6 ribs cost $12 which would be o-kay if they were beef ribs but these are tiny pork ribs. Its a bit pricey but then, I don't eat ribs out much so I treated the kids and we enjoyed it anyway. Also LOVED the kids play area.

My company chose to have a booth at the Lincoln All-American City Rib Festival this year. I was…read moreglad we decided to, because it was a wonderful time. I got an opportunity to wander around the rib-fest, and despite the grey skies people were having a wonderful time. There were 5 rib vendors and wish there were more, for a rib festival I expected a few more vendors, but Lincoln is not a big metropolis and the ribs that were coming out of the smokers were tasty. Unfortunately, the most popular one (or at least the one with the biggest line and hype), seemed to have misjudged the crowd and there no racks comin' off the smoke and a 20-30 minute back log so we moved on. We went to another green-tented place and got an order of spare ribs and a side of beans for $7...an extreme value considering the heft of these spare ribs and the amount of fatty (in a good way) meat. These ribs had a wonderful smoke ring, as well as a nice char from finishing on the grill. The beans were run-of-the mill Sysco-style. They could have used more of everything, but weren't bad as a palatte clenser between mouthfuls of meat. In addition to the rib joints, were hot dog vendors, beer tents, animal shelters, solar companies, electric car dealerships, and a myriad of other crafts and booths hawking their wares. They also had the "classic" classic car show and great line up of local bands... Awesome. I have been spending more time in Lincoln recently and the town likes to show off their classic cars and music. Considering this festival is put on in a smaller town (approximately 40K people), and the junky weather, there was a terrific turn out. If you are in (or near) Lincoln next year and feel like escaping to a time where everyone in town knows each other, pack the wetnaps, grab the wife, kids, dogs, and anyone/thing else you think might like this event and hit up Lincoln for some truly, "All-American" fun at the Rib Festival.

I like a good outdoor festival and I'm happy there's one closer to where I live instead of trekking…read moreall the way down to Oak Park... there's just some key differences between the two. Quarry Park in Rocklin is a great space. It's huge and open, with a fair amount of trees for shade and even an outdoor amphitheater/stage. That would be nice for the live music... except there wasn't any :( The crowd was a lot smaller and spread out, and there was twice as much seating as Oak Park's venue (not including the grass area). It was also a lot more kid friendly than the one at Oak Park, and even featured a crafting area. There were virtually no lines for the half a dozen food vendors, but sadly no vegan options except for Conscious Creamery's sweet treats. A couple of the artisans from Gather: Oak Park were there, and a couple new ones too. I love supporting local, but I didn't really see anything that sparked my interest. All in all it's a good concept with a lot of room for improvement. In comparison to Oak Park's Gather, my preference is to make the drive out for that one instead- but I wouldn't rule out coming back here again in the fall.

Did you know you can go look at petroglyphs in Roseville, California? I certainly did not until…read morevisiting the Maidu museum. You cannot get up close and personal with them like you can in Sweden, but we know why this is and why we cannot have nice things. The museum has kindly set up visual maps that help visitors make out the glyphs along the nicely maintained nature trail. If you are visiting in summer please stay hydrated as the trail is only partially shaded. It's about a 1.5 mile loop, but there's a longer bike trail that it is connected to. All is well-marked. $7 admission will get you access to the walking trail (there's probably a way for local cyclists to access the trail without paying but idk man, I'm from out of town.) and the museum, which does have restrooms and a water fountain inside. My friend and I enjoyed the museum and art exhibits indoors, then our nice nature walk outside to view the petroglyphs, mortars, and grinding rocks. We saw raptors, turkeys, lizards, turtles, deer, rabbits, and probably other creatures I am forgetting by now. Definitely stay on the trail as there are these lovely things called ground hornets (stingers up) we were warned about by the friendly staff. The weather was blessedly fair for July (Pocki brought Swedish summer over here and then left with it when she went back home) so we only had to suffer high 80s on the trail. I highly recommend visiting with walking shoes and water bottles. We spent a good two hours here. One could bring a picnic as there are benches outside, but we didn't bring more than a few snacks. Parking is available wherever you can find it along the suburban street. There is not a dedicated lot, but there are a few disabled parking spaces in the front. Hours: Monday: Closed Tuesday - Sunday: 9AM-4PM

The museum has artifacts and displays about the Maidu people. Some are interactive with buttons fun for the kids to press. There was even a small gift section with various trinkets and books. We especially loved the trail outside. We were followed the map and walked part of the trial. There were different spots to stop with signs explaining what was there. It was cool learning about how the land, seeing the bedrock mortars, and petroglyphs. It was also very peaceful for being in the middle of Roseville. Although it wasn't very big, we had a fun time and plan to come back!

However, there were hardly any cars, so we could do a slow, easy drive. It was still magical with lots of lights throughout this neighborhood. The standout feature was that the streets were lined with continuous strings of white lights that swagged down the participating areas, creating lit paths to follow. It was impressive! There were definitely some houses that went above, while others were more simple, but all delightful to see. Here & there, Christmas trees were in the middle of a court or roundabout. We aren't familiar with the neighborhood & lost track of how we meandered through, so next year we'll try to figure out a good route. We'll definitely plan to come back earlier during the next holiday season to enjoy the full experience.

Rockmont Lights in Natomas is all they say it is and more!…read more My friend, daughter and I wanted to check out Christmas lights last night and decided to check out Rockmont Lights instead of fighting the Fab 40's crowd. It was a first time for all of us and we weren't sure what to expect. We arrived around 7:30pm and it was already pretty busy, but we found some parking on a nearby street. Most of the streets surrounding Java Court were festively decked out and flooded with people - we made our way over to Java Court and I was so surprised to see a massive Christmas tree in the center of the court. There was Santa and The Grinch happily taking photos with families and a couple of fire pits that people were warming up by! They were handing out candy canes to passing cars and I believe they were even selling hot cocoa in front of a few houses! You can drive around the area, but I highly recommend walking it to fully experience the magic that Rockmont Lights has to offer! Make sure you bundle up though! Rockmont Lights definitely gives Dovewood Court and even some streets in the Fab 40's a run for its money! We will be visiting every year now and making it a new tradition!

One step into the business and you're transported into an alternate Blade-Runner-2049-like dimension. The staff were incredibly kind and helpful. The games were fun, exciting, scary, and had us screaming at the top of our lungs. It was worth losing my voice over. I 100% recommend Nexus Lounge & VR to everyone and plan on making a trip monthly to hang out, de-stress, and bond with friends and family. Plus, it's a great workout and you can reward yourself by booking more sessions .

They have a barn with Santa. They take your picture. And I assume sell it to you on smugmug. I refused to even take the sheet advertising the location, so maybe I'm wrong. We did get free hot chocolate and like 5 cookies. That was nice. But I can do that myself for much less than the $100 for this joint. And we got to buy some frozen pizza and a hot dog. They were what you expect. They had a train, which was a lawn mower driving a bunch of large plastic water jugs around. And an area where you can ride their horses - but that's limited to 1 ticket per child. So even if your kid absolutely LOVES it, they can only go once. Or maybe this place will sell you another one - dunno, didn't ask. It's more expensive than those horses chained to a circle at the fair! There was also a carriage ride where we were told "it's a two horse open sleigh" as we sang jingle bells. Thanks for that! And none of the staff looked friendly. I think we got one smile. Everyone just looked angry. Maybe that was because it was like 28 degrees. Can't argue with that, it was freezing. I can't blame being ripped off for that! Anyways, rip off. But there's not much else to do - except create family holiday traditions for your family that revolve around spending all your money on presents. Hope you have fun in Penryn!
