The Sacramento Children's Museum is small but it's a fun place to play for a few hours, and has enough to entertain kids from toddler to grade school, though older kids will probably get bored fairly quickly. Attractions include a room where kids can play with water, create whirlpools and race boats. A similar room lets them experiment with air currents.
There is also a pretend farmer's market and some dress up stuff for role playing, a special area just for kids under 3 and an art studio, though I have to admit to being underwhelmed by what the studio had to offer (I get the concept of trash-to-treasure, but it seemed like all the art supplies they had either came directly out of a recycle bin or were just little scraps left over from someone else's art project). Although the glass wall that kids can paint on (with their hands, even) is pretty cool.
This museum is pretty small so don't plan an entire trip to Sacramento just to go here. If you're going to break it up with another activity, though, it's a nice little distraction with some educational appeal, too.
