A Letter From The Chair
As Chair of Visit Vallejo and on behalf of our Board of Directors, staff, and industry partners, I’d like to welcome you to Vallejo California, The Spirit of the Bay!
For more than 25 years Visit Vallejo and our travel and tourism partners have worked together to make your visit to Vallejo and the surrounding area enjoyable and unforgettable. We know that you will enjoy staying with us and we hope that you will take advantage of the many terrific things Vallejo has to offer.
Six Flags Discovery Kingdom continues to be our top attraction. The Park is one of the only combination wildlife parks, oceanariums, and theme parks in the world. One of their most popular rides is BATMAN: The Ride, Northern California's only 4D Free Fly Coaster that thrusts you into a totally immersive, high-speed Gotham City adventure. So if you are looking for wild animals or wild rides, Discovery Kingdom is the place for your entire family.
While you are here be sure to tour historic Mare Island, enjoy a scenic ride aboard our San Francisco Bay Ferry to and from San Francisco, take in a racing event at the nearby Sonoma Raceway, during the summer, and cheer on our newest sports team the Vallejo Omega Soccer Club, or visit the annual Solano County Fair!
Assisting you in navigating the attractions, events, activities and great places to stay please visit our website VisitVallejo.com where you will find everything you need to plan your visit to the heart of Northern California. And follow us on social media at Facebook, Twitter and Instagram to keep up with all that is going on in the Vallejo area. Of course if you need further assistance please stop by our Visitors Center in the Vallejo Ferry Terminal or give us a call. We will be happy to get you the information you need.
Whatever it is that brings you to Northern California, whether it is business or pleasure, a meeting or a family reunion, Visit Vallejo welcomes you, our guests. Have a fun, affordable, and safe visit to our city.
We hope you enjoy your stay with us and Re-Discover Vallejo California, The Spirit of the Bay!
