During the last meet, we were talking about giving the Sacramento Zoo a visit. It's not really a 'craft' per se, but it certainly could be a fun outing to give folks artistic inspiration. The Sacramento Zoo has over 120 species to check out, including giraffes, big cats, aviaries, lemurs, and other popular critters!
Ticket prices fluctuate a little bit daily, but can be purchased in advance online: https://www.tickets.saczoo.org/calendar
They seem to generally run from ~17$ - 23$ per person. It's better to buy ahead of time online though, as the prices can increase at the gate.
Parking is (free) street parking: https://assets.speakcdn.com/assets/2941/william-land-park-map-2.pdf
We can meet up by the gift shop at the front of the zoo and then stroll through the exhibits together. I suggest bringing water bottles & sunscreen, as early October is usually still warm. Zoo closes up at 5.
