Crocker Art Museum
The Crocker Art Museum is a great Sacramento preschool destination for your older preschooler. At the Crocker Art Museum, your preschooler can get a taste both for the art the Crockers collected in Europe in the mid 1800s, and for modern art such as an Ansel Adams exhibit.

Does your preschooler like trains? If so, the California State Railroad Museum is a perfect preschool destination in Sacramento for them. At the Railroad Museum, your preschooler will have a chance to see what the inside of a train engine looked like, or what riding in the passenger car of a train felt like. They can also see and play with a giant Thomas the Train set and an electric train exhibit on the second floor of the museum.
