Things to do in Redding, California (CA): The Best Fun Activities & Games

March 10, 2022 Weston Hennigan

There's a variety of water sports in Redding, from whitewater rafting on the Sacramento River to waterskiing, swimming, fishing and sailing on Shasta Lake, one of four magnificent manmade lakes in this northeastern California town. When you're ready to dry off, there are also plenty of land-based activities, like camping or hiking in the national forests and parks, following walking trails through the 220-acre arboretum or spending time exploring two fascinating parks: Shasta State Historic Park and Turtle Bay Exploration Park. At Shasta State, you'll find the ghost town of Shasta City from the Gold Rush days, complete with restored stagecoach, barn and courthouse, with eerie reminders of where prisoners were kept and sometimes hanged. The ever-expanding 300-acre Turtle Bay Park houses the recently opened Turtle Bay Museum, with extraordinary hands-on exhibits focusing on the environment and an outstanding collection of American Indian baskets. The kids will love the park's Paul Bunyan's Forest Camp, which includes a playground, logging and ecology exhibits and the popular summer butterfly house, where the fragile winged creatures flit about and alight on welcoming visitors.

I walked in and did not even know how to hold a pistol. Three months later and with weekly affordable personal lessons with Laurie, I felt confident enough to purchase a gun, take and pass my CCW class. Every step of the way I was guided by knowledgeable staff.

This was our third time playing at this escape center and it was great as always. Although the christmas room we did this time had a simple theme and idea, it was still great fun. The other rooms had great twists and puzzles and proved plenty challenging. I'm very excited for the room they have updating as well as their new location about to open. Great rooms, great puzzles, great people.

Extreme Escape Redding

Extreme Escape Redding is a live action escape game designed for 3-10 people. This brain teasing game is full of challenges. Every corner, every wall, every book, every drawer could contain hints, clues, and keys that will help you escape and complete the room objectives....but the clock is ticking and you have only 60 minutes. Your key to success will be teamwork, communication and an open mind.
