Historical movie theater, now features local musical acts as well as independent films and events.
Marine World
A wildlife-based theme park across the street from the Fairgrounds. Once a zoo-like animal park, it now offers thrill rides and shows with the quality you'd expect from a Six Flags theme park. There are certain periods of time when prices are much lower, or the park is open much later. It is usually closed in January and February. SolTrans Route 85 offers the most comfortable ride if you plan to use public transportation.
For two weeks during the Summer, the Solano County Fair offers rides, local exhibits, major and minor performances and fun for the whole family. Other than being the place where the Solano County Fair is held, the Fairgrounds is a year-round venue that holds other events. It includes a golf course, surrounded by a horse racing track, as well as a satellite horse racing venue. SolTrans Route 85 offers the most comfortable ride if you plan to use public transportation.

Family-owned burger restaurant that has been in business since the 1980s. Quality of the food is excellent with prices that are comparable to more mass-produced style burger joints. Definitely a local favorite overlooked by most people that pass through the city.
Locally owned barbeque and southern food restaurant on the corner of Sonoma Blvd. and Virginia St. Serving delicious barbecue in a casual setting with both indoor and covered patio seating, and offering live music on the weekends. Offers large portions in both full and half orders cooked fresh to order at reasonable prices.
A homey cafe/diner where the service is incredibly friendly; it feels like you're in a small town where everyone knows each other. The food is mid-range and decent (not incredible) for diner fare, but the overall vibe of the place really makes it stand out in a sea of mostly mediocre restaurants and chain stores in the Vallejo area.
This is an incredibly tasty soul food restaurant with friendly and lovely staff. The restaurant has deep roots & history in Vallejo.
Mare Island Brewing Co.
Local brewery taproom at the Vallejo Ferry Terminal.
