The West Sacramento center is approximately the area of River City Stadium Management and the area of Raley Field.
The best time to visit West Sacramento is April to June. Temperatures often stay between 70 and 80 throughout this time with little rainfall and humidity, and there's also unlimited sunshine. During this season, the nearby area has tons of outdoor festivals and concerts, making it ideal for exploring the city and getting some entertainment. Hotels book up quickly during this time, so make sure to book well in advance.
From July to August, West Sacramento is hopping with visitors that flock to the city for the plentiful sunshine and warm temperatures. However, mid-August temperatures can easily soar into the triple digits with high humidity, so make sure to bring sunscreen and drink plenty of water. Because it's peak tourist season, hotels can fill up quickly, necessitating bookings weeks or even months in advance.
If you want to avoid the crowds, head to West Sacramento during winter. Between December and March, tourist travel thins out, but you can still enjoy the weather that has highs in the 50s or 60s. With this mild weather, you can easily traverse the city on foot with a light coat or a jacket. It's the best time to find a hotel, as supply goes up and demand drops sharply.
During fall, the temperatures cool down to refreshing lows in the 50s and highs in the mid-70s. With these temperatures, West Sacramento invites guests to head out on foot or enjoy outdoor activities such as golf, water sports, and more. The demand for hotels are higher during the beginning of the season, but it falls as the weather gets colder.
If you're searching for a hotel with all the amenities but not the higher price tag, West Sacramento has plenty of options. The Rodeway Inn Capitol is just one of the places to choose. It offers substantial discounts on king and queen rooms to AAA members and AARP members with a valid membership card.
Relax and unwind in these rooms that offer a flat-screen television with cable programming, a refrigerator, a microwave, a work desk to stay up to date with emails and other job-related tasks, complimentary wireless internet access, and daily housekeeping. Guests can also take advantage of amenities such as a business center, a 24-hour front desk for easy check-in and check-out, and a free continental breakfast each morning.
Why spend extra money on a hotel when you can get all the options you want for less? With a trip to the Holiday Inn Express of West Sacramento, you don't have to compromise. Centrally located, this hotel is just a short trip away from Golden 1 Center, the California Automobile Museum, and Raley Field. Enjoy an array of great indoor amenities that include free wireless internet, satellite programming, and a work desk. Other amenities include an outdoor pool, a spa tub, a fitness center, and a complimentary hot/cold buffet breakfast.
No matter your interests, West Sacramento has plenty of options to suit your needs. Architecture lovers shouldn't visit the city without seeing the Ziggurat building. Constructed in 1997, this building resembles ziggurats, a type of massive structure built in ancient Mesopotamia over 2,000 years ago. With a pyramid-like appearance, there's no other building like it in the city, state, or pretty much anywhere outside of the Middle East.
Another awesome thing to do when you're in West Sacramento is to see the famous Tower Bridge. Linking West Sacramento to Sacramento over the Sacramento River, this 737-foot bridge is Art Deco at its finest. Finished in 1935, it didn't garner as much attention as the Golden Gate Bridge (which was built two years earlier), but it's still worth the trip for the views of the entire Sacramento area. Added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1982, this bridge also serves as your gateway to many of downtown Sacramento's nightlife.
If you love America's pastime, don't think you can't attend a baseball game just because Sacramento doesn't have a major league team. West Sacramento is home to the Sacramento River Cats minor league baseball team, a Triple-A affiliate of the San Francisco Giants. The team plays each of its home games at Raley Field.
Situated on the Sacramento River, this ballpark is regarded as one of the most beautiful parks in America at any competitive level. From April through September, the River Cats have many deals for fans including giveaways, cheap beer and food, and fireworks nights. When the team is out of town or the season ends, the stadium hosts plenty of other events including music festivals, movie nights, fun runs, and more.
The River Walk Park is another fantastic place to catch a bit of the skyline of Sacramento while enjoying the river and the urban outdoors. During the day, it's a perfect place to reflect on a park bench, or you can go for a run on the jogging trails while you soak in the view of Old Sacramento and the modernized downtown. If you want to cook your own food, the park also has barbecue pits and picnic areas you can use.
Although it's technically in Sacramento, the Crocker Art Museum is just a 5- to 15-minute walk across the Tower Bridge from just about anywhere in West Sacramento. However, art lovers can't visit the city without a trip here. The longest-running art museum in the West, the Crocker Art Museum has been around since 1871. Started by the wealthy banker and landowner E.B. Crocker, the private collection had a total value of over $500 million until his ancestors donated the works to the city.
Today, the museum houses thousands of works covering American art, Asian art, European art, ceramics, works on paper, photography, and even several Renoir paintings that are worth millions of dollars.
