Redding Travel and Things to Do Guide

Opportunities for outdoor adventure and meetings abound in recreation-rich Redding, a Northern California destination surrounded by mountains and known for its kayaking, hiking, and biking. Meeting attendees have plenty to explore and experience in Redding, California's largest city north of Sacramento, thanks to its lively downtown, more than 200 miles of trails, nearby state and national parks, team-building activities, and tours at such attractions as the Shasta Dam and Lake Shasta Caverns. Redding is also home to the beloved Sundial Bridge, a glass-decked bridge that spans the Sacramento River and forms a working sundial. It serves as not only an architectural marvel but also a gathering place and entry point to Redding's extensive trail system.

Visitors can fly from San Francisco into Redding Municipal Airport, or they can opt to arrive at Sacramento International Airport, which is located about two hours outside of Redding and offers a number of nonstop flights to destinations throughout North America. Redding is home to both Amtrak and Greyhound service, as well as public bus routes aboard Redding Area Bus Authority service.

Meeting planners and attendees appreciate Redding's specialty venues, team-building activities, and event-ready hotels, as well as its 31,000-square-foot Redding Civic Auditorium. Situated along the Sacramento River next to the Sundial Bridge, this newly renovated space accommodates up to 2,000 guests and puts them within easy reach of Redding's walking trails.
