Do you have teens that are looking for things to do over Winter Break in Sacramento? Are your college kids home from school and trying to find things to do with friends?

Fun Places for Teens & College Kids to go with the family OR with friends

My daughter just came home from college for Winter Break and we’ve been making a list of places she and her friends can go. Plus, SCUSD is about to let out for break and so my two sons in high school are going to be looking for things to do those two weeks after Christmas.

 We’ve come up with all kinds of ideas for places we can all go together and places they can go with their friends. I’m hoping that these ideas will help you out as well, so you can offer up suggestions to your teens and young adults.

Our Ideas Include:

New Spots to check out, Rock Climbing, Roller Skating, Ice Skating, Miniature Golfing, Arts & Crafts, Shopping, Gaming, Axe Throwing, Laser Tag, Comedy Clubs, and more!
