Best Birthday Party Locations in Old Sacramento

by:  Elizabeth Sedway, Famplosion.com


Finding a fun, unique and affordadle place to host a child's birthday party is always a challenge. Old Sacramento offers a variety of locations for birthday party fun.

Old Sacramento holds a special place in history.  It once was  the western terminus of the Pony Express postal system,  the first transcontinental railroad, and the transcontinental telegraph.  The history and ambiance of Old Sacramento make it an extra-special place to have a birthday party.  Three locations, in particular, within Old Sacramento offer unique birthday party venues.


At the California Railroad Museum, kids can enjoy a Union Pacific Caboose Birthday Party.  Imagine a birthday party in a real, honest-to-goodness railroad caboose.  The Union Pacific Caboose is located next to the Central Pacific Railroad Passenger Station at the museum. The caboose is available only for stationary (non-moving) rental, and is perfect for children’s birthday parties. Capacity of the caboose itself is only 25, but nearby picnic tables are available to assure that larger groups have ample room to celebrate. Take the kids on a train ride, for an added treat.


The Old Sacramento Schoolhouse Museum is a quaint, affordable and well-located Old Sacramento birthday party venue.  It is a replica of one-room schools found throughout the Sacramento Valley and Sierra Nevada foothills during the latter half of the 19th century. It is ideally located on the Sacramento River, near Interstate 5, with ample public parking across the street to accommodate a family, youth group or club planning a special event. The Schoolhouse can seat up to 50 people and has a fenced yard for outdoor events. The museum is run by volunteers, so you might have to call more than once to reach them.  The schoolhouse rents for $25, you supply the party and the kids.  If you want to add an activity, take the kids to the California Railroad Museum, on a Train Ride, or to the Gold Rush History Center.  Each activity is located within walking distance of the schoolhouse.


The Gold Rush History Center also offers a special birtday party spot.  Formerly the Discovery Museum History Center, the Sacramento History Museum is a true celebration of all aspects of life in Sacramento over the past 200 years. The Gold Rush History Center and the Science & Space Center offers unique and fun environments for your child's birthday. The museum provides the room and the museum experience, and you bring the cake and the kids! The cost is $125.00 for members and $150.00 for non-members (total of 24 guests) and includes museum admission for all participants, birthday room rental and clean-up.

Be sure to check out the Trailmix.Net Old Sacramento Store (we're across the street from the CA Railroad Museum). We can seat 17-20 and have outdoor projects ranging from birdhouse building to rock collecting. Every event includes full color copies of our free Old Sacramento Scavenger Hunt.
