There are several museums located at Old Sac. The best known probably is the California State Railroad Museum. It has on display several locomotives and cars; some of them played an important part during the railroad's heyday in California.
During summer weekends, you can take a (very short) round trip on board a steam train. It is a great opportunity to experience this mode of travel, which is slowly dying out.
There's also a water taxi. For only $6, you get to see the Sacramento River. You can also do this by taking a cruise on board the riverboat "The Spirit of Sacramento," which looks like a paddlewheeler.
