Things to Do in Old Sacramento Before or After an A’s Game

Heading to a Rivercats or A’s game at Sutter Health Park? Turn your game day into a full day of fun with these uniquely Sacramento experiences—all within walking distance. Whether you’re looking to soak up some baseball history, get artsy, or just enjoy a drink with a view, there’s something for every fan.

Explore Sacramento’s Baseball Past at the Sacramento History Museum

Start your day with a visit to the Sacramento History Museum, where the rich legacy of baseball in the capital city is celebrated in the book Sacramento Baseball. It’s filled with rare images and fascinating stories tracing the city’s love for the game—from sandlots during the Gold Rush to major league moments. A must-see for baseball buffs!

Swing by Underground Mini Golf

Just steps away from the ballpark, Underground Mini Golf offers a fun and quirky challenge in a cool, historic setting. Even better? If you’re attending the A’s game that day, you’ll get a complimentary small bag of Cracker Jacks. Because what’s baseball without it?

Cruise and Booze on the Sac BrewBoat

Make it a party with Sac BrewBoat, where groups can pedal down the Sacramento River on a floating bar. Enter the code ATHLETICSINSAC to score a special A’s-themed drink or a shotski for your crew. It’s a home run for pre-game hype or post-game celebrations.

Get Messy at Dipped N Color Splat Studio

Unleash your inner artist (and superfan) at Dipped N Color Splat Studio. You’ll get 45 minutes to go wild with splatter paint using a limited-time A’s-themed palette featuring green, gold, and white. First-time guests get 15% off. It’s messy, it’s fun, and your jersey will thank you for wearing a poncho.

Sail with City Cruises

For a more laid-back vibe, hop on a City Cruises sightseeing tour before or after the game. Take in stunning river views while sipping the exclusive Stomper Smash cocktail—a refreshing way to toast to a win or reflect on a close game.

Rack Up Points at Capital Pinball Parlor

Cap off your game day with some arcade action at Capital Pinball Parlor. The Double Header Day Pass gives you unlimited pinball before and after the game for one discounted price. With cold drinks and a retro vibe, it’s the perfect place to celebrate or shake off a tough loss.
