3. Haggin Museum
The largest museum in Stockton, this is a great place to go to for art. It used to house a mummy, but unfortunately, it’s no longer there. The museum has been open since 1931 and currently houses the largest public collection of artwork by “Golden Age” illustrator J.C. Leyendecker.
4. Limitless Escape Games
If you’ve always wanted to try out one of those escape rooms that are all the rage these days, look no further than Limitless Escape Games in Stockton. This place has trap doors and has a Sherlock Holmes room that sounds like a blast. Definitely add this one to your Stockton bucket list.
5. Stockton VR
For an awesome virtual reality experience in Stockton, look no further than Stockton VR. This place is by appointment only, but you can easily book one online. No experience is required to enjoy this arcade type setting and it’s fun for all ages!
6. Asparagus Festival
The Stockton Asparagus Festival happens every year. It’s a major event in Stockton and features every kind of asparagus dish you can think of as well as fun rides if you’re into that sort of thing.
7. Micke Grove Zoo
Alright, so technically this bucket list item is in Lodi, but it’s close enough. If you want to see wild animals up close and personal, this is the place to go if you’re in the Stockton area. It’s a pretty decent zoo and a great place to take kids.
8. Pacific Avenue Bowl
Pacific Bowl has been in Stockton for as long as anyone can remember. It’s where friends and families go to hang out when there’s nothing else to do. They’ve also got a small arcade with sticker vending machines, so that’s a plus.
9. Weberstown Mall
This mall has a JCPenney with Sephora in it and that is all you need to know. We’re kidding, of course. But it’s always good to know where the nearest Sephora is. They also have Forever 21, Bath and Body Works and Victoria’s Secret.
10. Sherwood Mall
Sherwood mall is the other mall in town. It’s the one with the food court. So if you wanna grab some grub with your besties to catch up, this is the mall to do it in. Need to hit up Claire’s for some earrings or get a new iPad at Best Buy? Sherwood Mall has you covered.
