When you’re in Yuba City, you get the perfect mix with small-town charm with big-city amenities like shopping and entertainment. It enjoys proximity to the Feather River, which provides water recreation, and the Sutter Buttes, the “smallest mountain range in the world,” for loftier outdoor pursuits.
Mom and Dad can try out the authentic hand-crafted beer at the Sutter Buttes Brewery or marveling at the mid-19th century architecture of the Second-Street historic quarter. The youngsters have a wet blast at Gauche Aquatic Park or can go hi-tech with Laser Tag, video games, and Virtual Reality Gaming at Millennium Family Entertainment Center.
For something truly different that brings the family together, teaches about ecology, and provides for some physical thrills, try Sonoma County Tours. It takes a few hours to get there from Yuba City.

The redwoods reaching into the sky from this forested wonderland are impressive enough. But you can literally top it all by taking our grand staircase to the treetops. You’ll then negotiate a couple of sky bridges, rush at up to 40 MPH through seven zip lines, and rappel 45 feet back down to the ground. Never ziplined before? Neither have most of our guests. But you’ll learn quickly from the experienced guides and have fun while doing it.
