What to do and see in Redding, California (CA): The Best Things to do Good for a Rainy Day

May 20, 2022 Frederic Celentano

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.

We did this as a team building event with my work. What a fun and interactive way to get to work together without the pressure of the big boss. Thanks again for the fun and the insight into how to be a more efficient team!

Riverfront Playhouse

Riverfront Playhouse has been Redding's Community Theatre since 1981. We bring quality live entertainment to the North State with a 150-seat theatre for plays and other performances. We also have a small presentation stage that can accommodate 40-50 patrons for performances. We have the ability as well to rent out areas of the theatre for a variety of purposes such as meetings, conferences, workshops, receptions, movies and more. Our theatre is an opportunity for community-friendly and community-based activities. We provide space to explore, experience and learn all aspects of live theatre. And we provide a service, called Buyouts, to other local nonprofits, which are opportunities to “buy out” one of our performances for a set price and to realize fundraising proceeds for their group.

Godly, people, extremely sincere in Jesus Christ. Definitely worth visiting. Didn't expect much from the prophetic ministry - not having experienced it before. So I told them only my first name and nothing more. I was very surprised and grateful for the spot-on prophesy I received. Amazingly spot-on.

Cascade Theatre

Reviewed By imagehoundtaz - Redding, United States

Recently I attended two events at the Cascade Theatre. This previous Sunday I enjoyed the North State Symphony which featured The Project Trio. Both were amazing. The symphony is incredible and The Project Trio were uplifting and humorous. A few weeks ago I attended a magic show by a past America's Got Talent winner Mat Franco. He picked me to be one of the people who assisted him in one of his many magic tricks. Mat blew me away. And exactly 10 years ago today I saw the play 'Nunsense'. It starred Sally Struthers who played Gloria on 'All In The Family'. Man Sally can sing! All in all, I've attended a variety of outstanding performances. The theatre is stunning just to look at and admire. I highly recommend attending any performance there. It's beautifully elegant. Staff is always friendly.
