Explore Outdoors: Whimsical sculptures in unexpected spot in downtown Sacramento

For most, a trip to the courthouse likely isn't the first place you expect to find a unique outdoor place to explore and ponder philosophical quotes.

On the plaza outside the government building at 5th & I Streets in downtown Sacramento is an array of eye-catching statues, including salmon munching on gold nuggets and a bison in a top hat.

But that's not all!

Beneath the sculptures, under your feet, is another unique aspect to engage your mind in a different way - philosophical sayings.
