Top 49 things to do and attractions in Reno

Wow! We were excited about seeing this place, but had no idea how encompassing and incredible the collections and it were. So many things to see. So many incredible stories. Cannot recommend the docent tour that starts at 1:30 PM daily enough! Our tour guide was excellent. Very informative and brought things to life in a chronological history. It was a great experience. You’ll need lots of time to explore all of the galleries. Well worth it!!!

Beneath Reno’s sky so wide and clear, The National Automobile Museum draws near. A dazzling world of steel and chrome, Where every car feels like home. From vintage rides of days gone past, To sleek machines built to last, Each gleaming hood, each polished wheel, Whispers stories time can’t steal. Elvis’s ride, a shining star, And racecars built to speed afar, Classic curves and engines roar, Legends live forevermore. Kids laugh and play, exploring all, In this grand museum’s hallowed hall, Where history and passion meet, And every visit feels complete. So come and see this treasured place, A shining gem in Reno’s space, Where wheels turn dreams into art, And car lovers find their heart.

I absolutely love this museum! I got married here in 2017. I now have a membership and I bring my daycare kids once a month! The new child's play area is perfect for high energy kiddos!

The National Automobile Museum in Reno is an absolute must-see for anyone visiting the area. Located downtown along the Truckee River, this world-class museum celebrates the golden age of the automobile with one of the most impressive and beautifully displayed car collections in the country. The museum was born from the legendary collection of Bill Harrah, the gaming pioneer who spent decades amassing more than 1,400 classic cars. After his passing, the community came together to save a portion of his incredible collection, which now forms the heart of this museum. The result is a stunning tribute to automotive history, innovation, and artistry — all under one roof. The layout is fantastic, guiding visitors through themed galleries that feel like walking through time. You can stroll past early horseless carriages from the 1890s, gleaming luxury models from the Roaring Twenties, powerful muscle cars, and even one-of-a-kind celebrity vehicles. Some of the most famous pieces include the 1907 Thomas Flyer that won the New York to Paris Race in 1908, Elvis Presley’s 1973 Cadillac Eldorado, Frank Sinatra’s sleek 1961 Ghia, and the quirky “Jerrari” — a Jeep Wagoneer powered by a Ferrari V12 engine. Each car has its own story, and the exhibits bring those stories to life with detailed displays and historical settings. What really makes the National Automobile Museum stand out is the people. The staff and volunteers are friendly, passionate, and extremely knowledgeable. They clearly love what they do and are always happy to share fascinating facts or answer questions. Their enthusiasm makes the experience feel personal and engaging, whether you’re a lifelong car enthusiast or just someone who appreciates craftsmanship and history. The entire space is clean, well-organized, and thoughtfully designed — perfect for families, travelers, and locals alike. Every corner of the museum offers something interesting, from classic designs to rare engineering marvels. It’s easy to spend a few hours exploring and still feel like you’ve only scratched the surface. In short, the National Automobile Museum is one of Reno’s true treasures — a place filled with history, heart, and horsepower. A definite must-visit when you’re in town.

Wow! We just had the best tour ever! Mr. John Plow explained, in beautiful detail, about many of the amazing cars in the museum and the history surrounding them. We thoroughly enjoyed our visit and look forward to bringing more visitors back with us again.

Awesome museum with a gorgeous collection. The best part is their collection of Ed Big Daddy Roth vehicles, including the Beatnik Bandit, one of the most important custom cars ever made.

If you are looking for an interesting experience that isn't gambling in Reno, this is your spot. Go check it out. You will not regret it.

Nice museum. $15 entry fee. Free parking. Gift shop inside. No magnets or stickers :( Not busy at all. The art inside was interesting. I expected more, we were a little bit bored and hope they expand it.

Stunning museum. Excellent curatorial, education, and installation work. The staff were super friendly and helpful, and the Art is top notch.

Historic museum always different art work and pieces to look at never disappoints. Also free every second Saturday of the month

I was fortunate enough to visit while the Dorothea Lange exhibit was there, and it was incredible. The Judith Lowry exhibit was just stunning. The museum has been recently renovated, and the gathering spaces were open and inviting. We visited two rooftop areas that are used for events with a great view of the city and valley. The ichthyosaur exhibit was very well presented with the video, fascinating stuff. My daughter was quite happy with the plush ichy she got from the well-stocked gift shop. I was a little disappointed that there were so few people there. With such a diverse selection of exhibits (Langston Hughes, Aboriginal art!), where were all the visitors? Anyway, I loved it and highly recommend a visit. Patronize the arts in every city you visit if you can!

Great museum with very interesting exhibits. Friendly staff. Free with NARM membership.

They had an excellent collection of Dorothea Lange photographs, a brilliant portrait of Ella Fitzgerald by Beauford Delaney, and an impressive collection of paintings by Judith Lowry. I think other reviewers here have been harsh. I quite enjoyed my afternoon at the Nevada Museum of Art.

Walked from the airport on my layover. Totally worth it. I wish I could've stayed longer. The Langston Hughes exhibit was my favorite.

I visited on Friday 20, 2024 in December. Small but out of this world. Bring the kids in your life and your inner child too. There’s (very limited and free) reserved parking across the foot bridge on the third floor of the parking structure. Snag a permit from the staff and be sure to read the signs to prevent a parking ticket. Apply those savings in the little gift shop to support the museum.

Extremely disappointing experience. The planetarium was advertised as free, but when we arrived, we were unexpectedly charged at the entrance - no explanation, just a demand for payment. Most of the machines and interactive exhibits were broken or out of order. Honestly, there was nothing interesting to see. To make things worse, the place was filled with random items that had nothing to do with astronomy - like a sarcophagus, Iron Man masks, and other bizarre decorations. It felt more like a chaotic storage room than an educational space. Total waste of time and money. We came expecting a meaningful and inspiring experience about space and science, and instead got a messy, disorganized letdown. Would not recommend.

I really enjoyed the full dome presentation, such a cool and unique experience! The space is small and cozy, which makes it feel really personal. The guide was super knowledgeable and shared so much great info. I also loved checking out the displays and exhibits. Overall, it made for a really fun and relaxing evening!

The Star Wars precursor to the Roddenberry awards for the best short science sci-fi film festival. This year was absolutely amazing. We had a fantastic time. The winner was MT Nestor !! the Star Wars effects were great the Director and host was fantastic. Everyone was very nice and costumes were had.!! The super tall guy in black, Lord Vader, was intimidating as usual ! All the films we got to watch were wonderful really all-around an amazing night!!! thank you to the Fleishman Planetarium at UNR!!

I’ve loved the Planetarium since I was a kid! It’s such a fun and unique experience, perfect for kids to learn a little science while having a great time. The shows are always fascinating and really affordable too. The kids have a blast with the exhibits and the gift shop every time we go. Such a great place!

Awesome place to visit if you’re into space exploration! The show presentation room is super nice, and while the exhibit area is small, it’s really informative. Plus, free parking on the weekends is a nice bonus!

The most underrated thing to do in Reno! Super fun and actually really educational. It was a great time with some really cute exhibits! Totally recommend!

I took my family. We did a scavenger hunt through the exhibits. It was hyped up to me as a major kind of museum. It is small for a museum but large for a rich mans collection of things. It's interesting and the area around the outside of the museum is very nice for a walk. We enjoyed it.

Dragon Lights are amazing! Nice little walk to see displays & watch the children & adults smile in awe of it! The only bad part was the parking.

Incredible story of Wilbur D. May, showcasing some of his vast collection from his decades of world travel. A very talented adventurer, song writer, rancher, soldier and artist this collection from other cultures he visited is worth your time to visit. We spent about 90 minutes here but you may want to take longer. Consider visiting here as well as walk the beautiful surrounding grounds.

What an amazing arboretum! The grounds are huge and beautifully kept, with such a great mix of plants and trees. Whether you’re a total plant lover or just want a peaceful walk in nature, this is the place to go in Northern Nevada. The staff is super friendly and really enjoys working with school and educational groups ,definitely a great spot for a fun science field trip, too!

The Wilbur D. May Center includes both an arboretum and an interesting museum highlighting the life of Wilbur. The arboretum is free to visit, except at night in the fall when the lantern festival is going. To visit the festival is a bit pricey. The museum is reasonably priced ($5 for a senior). We found the gardens to be peaceful and even discover the remnants of what rides that were once an amusement park. The museum contains numerous artifacts from the travels of Wilbur and a large number of taxidermy animals such as tigers, giraffes and other large game animals. I was shocked to see so many…… I found the story of Wilbur and his life quite interesting.

A well run children's museum with interactive exhibits. We saw the dinosaur exhibit and we were informed that the candy land exhibit is no longer occuring. Please call ahead if your unsure, staff is polite and the museum has a stamp pass for kids or groups. ADA accessible

I was not expecting such a variety or quantity of unusual items. The taxidermy alone would have been worth it, but there are extra cultural items like masks and weaponry that were just fascinating. The Arboretum is gorgeous and huge. Pretty sure I only got through some of it, and I would go back just to explore outside more. Can't recommend enough, any plant or bird lover would have a great time enjoying all the wildlife.

I love being a member of this museum. I can bring the grandkids back anytime. Sometimes we are here for only an hour, others several hours and we bring a lunch. The first picture is my grandson almost 4 years ago, he is now 5. Watching him grow up in this museum and rediscover things here is so wonderful. He loves the NASA room and he and his brother (4)love the robotic rooms. Was the first time for the 1 year old. The boys love ,love, love the bubbles days and storytelling. Thank you for offering the passes that allow me to bring my grandchildren in anytime. Can't wait to start signing them up for camp! I do wish you had a place for us to put our lunch boxed/small cooler bags so we didn't have to run out to the car with all the kids and back in again. Especially when it gets cold out.

We love this museum! Lots to enjoy for both kids and adults. We especially love the area where kids can play with the water and boats. I only wish their little kid play area was bigger.

We had an amazing time at The Discovery in Reno! It’s the perfect mix of fun and learning — our kids were completely hooked on the hands-on exhibits, and even us adults couldn’t stop exploring. Super clean, friendly staff, and tons to see and do. A must-visit spot for families in Reno!

Wonderful exploration museum. Lots of fun and engaging activities, and the water exhibit and climbing tree are amazing. Great place to take the whole family!

Awesome!! If we lived closer we’d definitely get a membership. My almost 4yo was excited and engaged the whole time.

I had a blast. It's a fun science museum. Kid focused more than I'd like, but it is by no means kid exclusive. They have stuff for everyone. When I went they had an exhibit on mental health, which was very well done.

Lots of activities for young kids and some fun for adults too.

Parking situation is absolutely horrible. Most of the staff was nice. They will not let you back inside the event from the restrooms if there is a song playing and the elderly ushers will Naruto run at you if your phone lights up inside or you try to take a photo while you are seated and tell you to turn it off.

All seats have excellent views with comfortable cushy seats! This is an amazing historical theater. You enter at street level, but the theater is below. Love this intimate theater that has Broadway shows and local events 😍

I always enjoy my time at the Pioneer Center and am so grateful to have access to a quality theater experience. The staff always go above and beyond to make our transitions as quick and easy as possible despite how huge the crowds can be! All of Reno is thirsty for new experiences, and the Pioneer always provides. Some of our best memories are getting dolled up and inspired for each performance, and we'll definitely be back for more. Thank you for everything you do!

I remember back in the day my class from sun valley elementary took a field trip here and it was great I still have those memories to this day! Boy how time Flys I forgot what musical we seen but you should of seen all of our little faces and eyes back then we where amazed by the women and men performed on stage that day it was cool. When it came time to leave and go back to school we didn't want to leave at all and this place was nice and let us bring in our packed lunches and let us enjoy. Because of all these positive experiences I will never forget this place at all kinda brings tears to my eyes because how well us children were treated that day thank you from the bottom of my heart! I'm now 36 years old that's how long ago it was.

We attended a showing of the okay Juliet. The cast, musicians and everyone involved in the production where top notch. Didn't spend much time in the theater otherwise but do look forward to another opportunity to do so

Absolutely no complaints here. It was a wonderful experience and we throughly enjoyed our musical there.

A lovely venue! Just lovely. They bring great shows and embody performance art in every form! You will thoroughly enjoy yourself and the performances. The ticketing process is made easy and you can avoid the online convenience fee by simply heading to the box office to purchase tickets! Elevators for those whom cannot do stairs and well maintained restrooms and auditorium.

It was a beautiful visit even in the winter. The museum is amazing! I will have to come back to spend more time. There is so much to learn and see. Photos don't do this place, Justice! I didn't post photos of the museum because air didn't want to ruin the surprise. Definitely check it out, not your average park museum. There are also dragons!! The staff is passionate, friendly, and willing to help teach.

The best about this park is Wilbur D. May Museum. A cute small but very interesting museum. Lots of play & picnic area in the park. The place is world renowned for its annual famous Ballon Races in August. Love its central location around UNR as well.

Beautiful place. More effort needs to be put towards garbage pickup. All the bins were overflowing with some trash making its way to the water.

Took the family to see the Dragon Lights in the evening. After the rain we've had the walking paths were still good. Love that they have these every year.

Dragon lights with the under the sea theme was a great way to spend a fall evening. Lots of interactive exhibits.

I went to see the Dragon Lights...it was beautiful and not to crowded parking kinda sucks but that is expected

This park is a staple or Reno. Having been born and raised here, I have so many memories from this place. I love the events that take place here and the parks are fun for the kids. It's also a nice place to walk. The reason for 3 stars is because it's really starting to smell and the bathroom situation is unexceptable. The regular bathrooms are always closed and the portable restrooms are extremely unmanaged. They were all full to the brim and out of toilet paper and sanitation. Today, it was heartbreaking to see a little girl about 6 years old screaming in pain because she needed to go potty so badly that her tummy was hurting. The mommy side of me is pissed by this. She was too scared to use the portable restroom for reasons I previously stated and she had no other options. This is UNEXCEPTABLE Reno. We need to do better for these families and children that come here to play.

I stopped here for an hour with my family and our dog as we stayed one night in town passing through on our family vacation and we were not disappointed. This park is so beautiful and clean. I lived here for a couple years as a child and I have fond memories of this park, and I was pleasantly surprised to see it still there and just as wonderful as I remember it. I give complements to the city of Reno and the park service for keeping up with it, good job.

We love going to Idlewild park with our dog Leroy and his many friends! Easy access to the river, great walking and bike paths, lots of shade and grass. It's a wonderful neighborhood park with great access and connectivity to other trails and areas of the city.

Beautiful walk along the river. Outdoor workout area. Lots of trees and areas to have a picnic.

Well the family was gambling me and the kiddo went Shredder at this park we had so much fun! It's pretty small but it has great features and the locals are super friendly and nice as long as you're respectful like you should be at any skatepark that you're not local. great place!

Happened upon A fall Festival event, craft and food vendors. The leaves were turning, a clear crisp fall day. Plenty to do here with a pool, several play areas, rose garden, walking and biking trails.

My hubby & I love taking walks thru and around Idlewild Park especially when there's community events going on. Always so many beautiful things to see, especially the extraordinary botanicals garden. Definitely a great place for family and friends to gather.

Beautiful park with many amenities right next to the Truckee River. Every Sunday this park hosts a year round farmers market that features fresh produce (including exotic mushroom varieties), local honey, fresh teas, and so much more. Great food vendors offering everything from Filipino food to fresh crepes made right in front of you. There is a fairly good skate park that is rather small. The playground equipment is new and exciting for children. Beautifully designed and decked out with various swings, slides, etc. There is even a zip line. Overall, a great park with much to offer.

The arch was cool. I wish it was lit up but we were there during the day. There was barely anyone on the streets. A lot of homeless people sitting around

It's the old Reno Arch.. on one side it claims to be "est little city in the world" but the otherside is looking more complete!! .. yes it's dual sided just like the new one!

Fantastic fair with fireworks and great bands....also quality food and clothing and crafts FREE ENTERTAINMENT

This Arch is not as fancy as the new one. The light made me feel a little lonely because there was just an arch. This area was not lit up.

The Old Reno Arch — best place to capture the spirit of the Biggest Little City!

Easy to find. Not as easy to get pictures.

It's simple to get to and a landmark worthy of a picture

This was an easy to navigate ball field with lots of service options. The restrooms were kept clean and rarely had a line every time I went. We attended two of the Banana Ball games with 10,000 people in attendance. We were in the berm. Security did a good job of making sure people weren't standing at the fence, so the view was never blocked.

We always have the Best time at the Ball Park! Food is great with lots of choices. I love that there are many bars throughout the park, even self-checkout stations. The MC keeps everyone entertained throughout the game and makes it fun for the whole family!

Great fireworks display after certain games. Easy entry and exit of ballpark. Labeled wonderfully for seating. Vendor lines are quick. Great experience overall.

The staff was attentive and nice. The food was good and the parking was quick and easy. We had a great time!

Gr8 park, I am a big fan of intimate games. Parking for the game sucks. Eric the president of the Aces and friends with the owner is ruining the park. So anti social, almost uncomfortable in his own skin. Poor choice, is my opinion.

A great little ballpark. Big enough to accommodate the attendees but intimate enough that it feels like a family outing. The digital displays are sharp and easy to read from anywhere in the stadium. The field lights are bright and disperse the light well throughout the stadium. Lastly, the staff works very efficiently, from the concession stands, ushers, and field workers. The whole team works well and provides visitors with a fantastic experience.

Wonderful entertainment and great staff. Non-stop action. Concessions were many and food was great (photos). Security was tight, where isn't it today? But staff was pleasant. The field was beautiful, the action and the crowd were electrified. A home run hitter rounds third scoring 2 runs. The ball went over the centerfield fence and onto the railroad tracks behind the stadium! A freak hail storm ended the game early but the fans didn't want to leave.

I had an awesome experience seeing this event for its first year in Roswell, NM with my father. We were able to see some amazing military aircraft up close (planes from WWII to present day) and watch some of the incredible pilots show off their skills. There was lots of good food and the announcers were entertaining and informative when it came to commentating on the air races. I would go again!

For years I have enjoyed the Reno Air Races. Ever since I was a little girl. I would always be amazed at the stunts and shows they would do, but for most of all I would love to just go and see all the planes… It’s definitely sad to know this is the last race we will see. But it’s was also very sad to see amazing pilots be lost…. The memories of all the races, pilots, military, volunteers etc… It will be for ever remembered I thank you all. To those who lost a love one at a race through out the years, I know it was their passion, and they forever live in our hearts still to this day, their memories have been engraved in our hearts. Keep on flying in the sky’s! 💕✈️🛫

This is the LAST RENO AIR RACE. Better get here before it's too late. It's an amazing experience with some of the best people in the world. We love this show and we're going to miss it!

The best event/air show you will ever go to! Take my word for it, I’ve been to the races every year of my life (16 years straight) and have never missed it once, and hopefully never will. This is truly an event like no other, I promise you that! Great for the whole family, aviation enthusiast or not! If you want more details or a visual presentation please visit my YouTube page (Nevada Boys) where we have a video titled “Reno Air Races 2019”. Once you come to the races you’ll never want to leave! I can’t explain how much I love this event and trust me, you will too! The below photos are mine from the 2019 event.

First time going and had an absolute blast. Looking forward to next year. Little smokey but still a great event ! If you are an aviation enthusiast definitely need to come here.

An incredible experience for the whole family. I highly recommend this event as part of every yearly destination on everyone's agenda. Stimulating for the kids as well as adults and getting a pit pass is highly recommended to engage up close with planes, pilots and the whole aviation community that takes part of the world's fastest motorsport.

It was my first time but we'll worth it! We stayed all day and not one minute was boring. They had so many air shows going on throughout the day. If you haven't been I highly recommend it. And if you ha e gone before you know you will go again!

This expansive and impressive facility features numerous lanes across multiple floors. All staff encountered were exceptionally friendly and helpful. The convenient, attached, and complimentary parking garage is a significant advantage. However, the limited food and beverage options warrant a four-star rating instead of five. Competitive establishments provide a broader selection and designated dining areas. Furthermore, while ample seating exists across two floors, increased stadium seating on the lower level, closer to the lanes, would enhance the experience during events.

Fascinating bowling venue in downtown Reno. You cannot call this a bowling alley because it’s huge with 70 lanes. There are 5 floors with food, drinks, and a pro shop that rivals golf pro shops. A spectacular facility that hosts tournaments practically weekly. The staff are exceptional people as well as security, concessions, and tournament personnel. Keith in the pro shop is very knowledgeable and gives in depth advice about bowling balls, accessories, and bowling techniques. This stadium is a must for all that love the game of bowling!

This was such a fun field trip. I was bummed that the museum wasn't open as I was really looking forward to seeing the memorabilia. That just means I will have to go again. Great experience.

The National Bowling Stadium is an impressive facility that boasts state-of-the-art amenities and a welcoming atmosphere. The venue is clean and brand new, with sleek modern design and comfortable seating. The lanes are well-maintained and offer an excellent bowling experience for all skill levels. The photography staff is exceptional, always ready to capture memorable moments and provide high-quality photos. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable, making the entire experience enjoyable. The facility also has an excellent selection of food and drinks, making it a great place to spend time with friends and family. Overall, the National Bowling Stadium is a must-visit for anyone who loves bowling and wants to have fun in a clean and modern environment. I highly recommend this facility to anyone looking for a great time and a memorable experience. The tournament wraps up July 24th!

I've only been here twice (2024 & 25), and I have enjoyed myself both times. Bowled a 3 day tournament (fri, sat, sun) in the Reno Invitational (a 3 separate weekend event). Gina, your tournaments always ROCK! The waitress did not accept cash, credit cards only. Clean restrooms, plenty of stalls, and a couple of single family restrooms as well. NBS thank you for the lovely hospitality and see you again in 2026 if not before. P.S. a great place to have your company, family, and birthday parties at...👍🏾

Beautiful and huge! Bowling alley has 78 lanes. Great for the USBC Tournaments. Gave only 4 stars because you don't want to bowl in the lanes at th end. We biwled our Doubles and Singles on 75/76 and it was SUPER HOT!! There aren't a/c vents at the end. I was so hot I asked if they had a fan for us....not one available. The guy even commented on how hot it was there. I about passed out. And I had a small fan. My last game out of 6 was an 88.....I just wanted to get out of there. Cooler outside.

I bowled here for the 2023 nationals and it was a great facility. Everything there was very nice and well kept. The lanes were great. The one complaint I have (and it is borderline taking a star off) was that they stopped selling alcohol at 9:30PM. Considering the last shifts of the day started at 9:30PM, that didn't seem too smart. I'm sure I'll be back for future events.

I went to the Great Reno Balloon Race in Reno, Nevada for the first time today, and it was absolutely magical! 🎈 The balloons rising at sunrise, the colors, the energy—it’s an experience you’ll never forget. Waking up early was totally worth it, and staying close by made it so easy to enjoy the whole show. Pro tip: Buy your parking ticket online ahead of time—it makes everything so much smoother. If you love beautiful sights, early morning adventures, and pure magic in the sky, this is a must-see. Can’t wait to go again!

This was our first time experiencing Dawn Patrol together as a couple, and it was truly unforgettable. We were absolutely stunned by the sight of the hot air balloons lighting up the early morning sky. It was definitely cold, but 100% worth it. This marked the beginning of what we know will be a yearly tradition for us. We feel lucky to live in Reno and witness such a magical event right in our own backyard.

Vip parking was wonderful right by the tent. Morning! Glow was absolutely amazing and so was dawn patrol! Absolutely magical whether you're in the VIP tent or in the field. The mass Ascension is just unbelievable. Highly recommend!

We both loved the morning daylight of colorful balloons. We came back the following morning at 4:00 A.M. to see the "glow". It was great fun!

Awesome event went with my friends and we saw some really cool designs of Ballons and the food was ok but worth the price

It was awesome. I fell asleep in the grass for a bit of it cause it's in Reno and it's super early so I was not ready to wake up that early. But it was so much fun Seeing the balloons so close and glowing was something everyone should see.

It was a joyful experience. I love every bit of it with my little family.

Nice park. Loved looking at the ducks swimming around and hanging out. They are so cute! There’s a River trail but it was closed for winter. Would love to come back and try it out when it’s open! (: 10/10 will return.

Very nice park. We found it walking along the river walk. There were sitting areas. People relaxing.

Nice park, currently closed due to the new bridges construction with a reopen date of summer 2026.

I was there the day of the river festival, 100+ vendors, tons of food and drink options. Beautiful 75 degree June day. The have a Kayak course and the riverwalk has restaurants and shops on both sides. Plenty of trees and shade which is nice so it's not straight sun. Grassy areas and lots of boulders to just sit along the Truckee river. Walkways could and should be a bit wider, gets crowded and between bikes, dogs, strollers and walkers it's pretty congested.

The gem of Reno in my opinion! A great place to gather and picnic, sunbathe on the rocks, or enjoy the incredibly cool (manmade) Truckee River Water/Kayaking Park. Lots of fun art and statues all throughout as well!

Visited 25/06/23 - Lovely area by the split river, ideal for a picnic or to relax and listen to the flowing water. There are several coffee shops, bars and shops along the river walkway. Over the little bridge you'll find Wingfield park. A small island park situated between the rivers. There is also a large bandstand / stage area for outdoor shows. Overall nice little peaceful area just a block or two away from the casinos.

I was pleasantly surprised by the park. Despite not being from the area, I found myself spending a lot of time there, enjoying the beauty of nature and the remarkable design that was implemented.

Today I made a visit here with my 2 toddlers. We just loved this place. It’s very pleasant place with scenic surrounding natural beauty. I recommend this park for spending time close to nature. Happy travels everyone 🍃

Absolutely loved it. Very quiet, respectful hikers, respectful dog owners had their dogs on lead and minimal to no poops on trails. Plenty of poop bag stations too. Went out today with my Laizhou Hong and she enjoyed it. ❤️

The soothing sound of the Creek was quite a treat. The forestry folks have been hard at work clearing the deadwood out and that has opened up the forest refreshingly!

Nice hiking trails and beautiful area just off Mt. Rose highway. Its currently being landscaped but is still open to the public

Coming here in the winter brings a truly enjoyable experience. The park is covered in snow and has a different appeal to it. We love walking in the woods on the snow-covered trails. A memorable experience that we will cherish 🥰

A great place to hike and spend the day. There are picnic tables, bathrooms, and a great visitor center! Myself, my husband, son, and dog walked about 6 miles all together. There are many places to explore and enjoy. There are multiple parking lots. So lots of parking. Flowers were blooming. We even saw a rabbit. Please keep your pets on a leash. We ran in to dogs being off leash, not recalling, and rushing in. Our dog is friendly, but things happen.

This park is a peaceful hiking park, with picnic tables and a bathroom. Heated in the winter. Rangers are friendly and helpful. Fishing pond is great. Hours of operation are reasonable.

Sign on door and online says they are open to public Wednesday thru Saturday 11 to 4. But guess what? THEY ARE NOT OPEN ON THESE DAYS OR HOURS except on Wednesdays nowadays, apparently. Sorry about that, they might have posted on the door to whomever may have ventured to learn a little Nevada history on a recent Saturday. What's the point of having a museum that says it's open to the public but isn't? Must be some tasty tidbits inside, I find myself thinking, as I compose this text outside the locked doors. Guess I'll head back to Circus Circus and squander a few more dollars on slot machines.

There can learn the history and development of Nevada and Reno, and the children learn the knowledge. The librarian's warm and thoughtful service gave me stickers and commemorative pencils for my kids, thank you!

This is a good research library and museum of Nevada history. Permanent exhibit spans Native American items thru mining and gambling exhibits. Rotating exhibits are interesting and they have many good talks.

We took my dad here after we went to another museum that's pretty close. We had a great time walking through the exhibits and learning more about Nevada history.

The local history displays are well done and informative. The volunteers are amazing. We will definitely be back!

I'm an artist. I participate every year in early December one of the most entertaining and educational Art Shows called "History for the Holidays". This year the date is Saturday December 13, 2014. I so look forward to this exciting event all year long! I market Nevada stone pendants which I cut, shape, polish and wrap! Each one is unique. These are wrapped in Gold Fill, Copper, and Sterling wire that really shows off these gorgeous stones. I exhibit in many shows including the Reno Gem and Mineral Society shows. In addition, I teach Watercolor in Reno and have taught WC in Ireland. At this December show there is acapela singers that sing Christmas Carols. There is a delicious array of sweets and hot chocolate etc. It is always crowded and lasts from 11 to 4 PM. People look for my pendants each year. All the artists are professionals. See you there. Sally

Wonderful work with kids. Respect for the NV natives

Awesome trail and well worth the hike. Pulloff is a great place to stop for sunset too!

The Tahoe-Pyramid Trail is a nice trail which follows the Truckee River and Hwy 80. The trail stays close to the river a majority of the way and has a few historic buildings along the trail. It's gradually climbs the canyon and offers a unique and peaceful experience. I mountain biked from the lower start of the trail about two miles before turning back around.

Nice nature, river, mountains while hiking, but the noise from Hway 80 spoils it....one can hear trucks/cars constantly....perhaps there are sections which are more quiet, but few miles from Verdi it's pretty noisy.

Beautiful trail right near Reno! I hiked the section between Verdi and the Floriston/Mystic area a few weeks ago. Great views of the Truckee River, plus plentiful butterflies and wildflowers. So close to town, yet feels like you are getting away.

Beautiful. Some biking challenges but worth it. Nice fishing accesses. Can't wait to try! A few spots require pushing the bike up hill but that's exercise too. Having Chop 40 near my entry point helps for quick rehydration.

Thin trail and some slides making it so also. Beautiful little stop for me. Met fishermen going fishing for trout. 🎣

I took my dog for a run on this trail, and it was really cool to traverse along the Truckee River. We started at the Hirschdale east trailhead and ran down to Floriston and back. Despite the freeway being a constant presence, it was still a very tranquil run on a beautiful summer day.

The riverwalk was one of my favorite things to do while in Reno. I went during the week and there was barely anyone around. There are a few plazas alongside. You get amazing views of the River

A peaceful walk along the Truckee river with plenty of food options and places to take pictures!

It's wonderful beautiful a lot to see. It was hot outside so the walk alongside the river is quite a relief. It is very difficult to find parking that is the reason I gave three stars is due to the parking

Not a good place to bring the Familty way to many sketchy people roaming around. Saw many strange people and strange things. Lots of trash and parking is a problem. The city of Reno needs to do a better job with this public area.

Walking beside River, Super comfortable!

It was really nice for the most part. We came out from Sac so we were hoping for a nice riverwalk to follow up the trip to GSR. The spot we stopped at had water, some geese yelling at some ducks, some nice scenery and cool places to sit and enjoy the weather. I would've liked to have brought some food because we were hungry. I wanted to get some good pictures of this stained glass dolphin looking statue but when we got closer there were some houseless people chillin around and a lot of the glass was broken. A little disappointing. Overall fine.

Great place for adventure if you have good swimmers and they have littles dams off to the side of the river so the little ones can splash around. Bring lunch if possible. It’s in the middle of a business area and parking is tough but worth it. There’s even crawdads. And the water is clear.

Went fir a walk in the park River walk. Nice

Feed the Camel event on Wednesday great food trucks you should try Silver state they have restaurant quality burgers that you will get a bang for your buck

I've come here multiple times with my kids in the past for the free Artown events. My favorite events were the Chinese dance and ballet we had the privilege of attending. Go Artown!!

Wonderful ArtTown free events for children. Daily morning Discover the Arts performances and crafts, we go multiple times every year. The kick-off parade was especially great with a marching band and police escort!

Great venue for local artists to shine. I participate each year in the Veterans Art 🎨 ✨️ Contest.

Just had an event here for my daughters 15th birthday. Just an amazing place all around.

Wonderful park, for picnics, lounging and relaxation!! Across the street from the Truckee River. And every Thursday is the farmers market from 4pm to 8pm. Lots of fun, live music, fresh vegetables, Oracle Readings and Arts & Crafts By Janay! Family fun community gathering ❤

I'm a charter bus driver, and we took Sacramento State University football team to UNR, for a game. The atmosphere was electric. Tons of food trucks, and LOTS of foot traffic. UNR did provide a police escort to get us on to campus.

Best fitness center, hands down. This place really knows how to take care of it's students. Definitely worth checking out campus too, it's beautiful

We went for a friends graduation and it was kind of a chaos but the campus was beautiful and clean, I wouldn't mind my kids to go there. It is very pleasant campus.

Clean, well equipped and stately. This gave us a great feeling of higher education and professionalism. We came specifically to look at the Davidson academy.

Hot August nights and not as many cars as lead to expect. Footing was difficult. Little shade. Difficult to navigate and parking far from venue

It is a very beautiful school. They are a great school here in the Sierra Nevadas.

Hot August Nights 2025 in the UNR parking lot listening to Grand Funk Railroad was wonderful.

Nevada Premier Sportman Show was a complete disappointment! The gun show last week at the convention center had a better selection of products!

Nice area the floor seats are very small and tight. I know they want to pack in as many people as possible but a little space between seats would be nice especially for the price you pay. And someone directing traffic to the parking garage would be nice

We visited the Reno Events center yesterday for Disney on Ice. The positive is that most seats had a pretty good view of the performance. The temperature inside was not too hot or too cold. The main reason for my low review was the water policy. I was told that I couldn't even bring an empty water bottle to full up. At least airport security let's people bring in an empty one. Reno Aces allows a sealed purchased bottle of water. Reno Events Center policy forces people to have lots of plastic waste for an event and pay money for water. There was at least one drinking fountain near the restroom, but it's hard to leave your seats during a show to get enough water. I would have also appreciated to bring at least an energy bar per person. The concession line was very long and I didn't see anything vegetarian beyond fries. My kiddo and I were quite hungry by the end. I would have bought him a pretzel at intermissions, but we would have missed part of the show due to the long line. I think access to water should be available for all shows, but denying water and snacks to a show geared for young children seemed particularly wrong. I would like to bring my kiddo to Sesame Street live, but will skip that now that I know the Events' Centers policies.

It was a very good concert we saw Tyler Hubbard and I liked it, because it's all on one floor and it's a small venue and you didn't miss anything at the show. Even if you stepped out to get a drink or used the restroom, you can still hear it and the people that worked. There were very, very friendly.

Great time for our grand daughter at 2025 National wrestling tournament

Awesome concert last night. The Hits Deep Tour is what's up! So fun and such high energy. Great stage and audience engagement. Maybe more personnel to help you find seats when it's dark tho. And parking for events is pretty limited. We spent 30 minutes (which was 30 minutes before concert start time) looking for a spot. Ended up at the Sands (the lot across the street fills quickly). Then had to wait another 20 minutes to get in.

Very spacious and the bathrooms are pretty clean. This is a great venue for Hot August Nights. We spent a significant amount of time here and met lots of cool people.

This place is seriously cool, tons of minerals from around the world, and the Mackay family’s silver collection is a total highlight. It's free to check out, which is always a win. You'll find it right on the University of Nevada, Reno campus. Definitely worth a visit if you're into nature, history, or just cool stuff.

Amazing exhibit. I am not even that fascinated by rocks and found myself caught up in the informational displays. Make sure to to give yourself about 1 to 2 hours. It is found in the building behind the statue of John William MacKay. I say this because there's no indication of the exhibit from the outside it seems to be a library.

Really enjoyed this museum. Visitor parking was a little non-intuitive, but I followed the helpful instructions on the museum website and parked on the first floor of the University & 9th Street parking garage for the hourly parking. I wish the glass panes on the display cases were a bit less dusty to fully enjoy this beautiful collection. I took my time and learned a lot. Hours are a bit limited during the week. Perhaps best to visit on weekends. Great spot for geology nerds and possibly patient children who like shiny rocks. Ask your gamer kid to point to the rocks they may have mined in Minecraft or Runescape :)

If you think you are the kind of person that might like a Mineral Mining & Engineering Museum, then you should go here. Everything a good museum should be with lots of physical artifacts rather than just placards. I especially liked the 3d model of the West End mine - something you need to see in person. Also a giant ingot of blister copper that you can touch and (try to) pick up. And a 10 foot tall giant topo map of Nevada (with place names frozen in time 100 years ago). You can't get this stuff from a book or Wikipedia article. It is also a beautiful space, and completely empty when I went.

If you're into local Nevada geology and general history, and you have some spare time in your hands, this museum is definitely worth a visit. However, it's damned hard to find. You're best bet is to look for the statue at the end of the quad; the building you're looking for is directly behind the statue. The pictures included in this review show the building and the plaque on the outside of the building next to the front doors.

cute historical museum with a variety of pieces all relevant to the state of Nevada and it’s mine and culture. The curator was very nice and this place is totally worth a visit since it’s free. A variety of rocks and different samples of minerals to see from around Nevada in the world.

Great self guided tour of rocks and minerals, pretty and educational, nice silver display down stairs. No entry fees. I dinged one star because the signage isn't very good, it takes a while to find.

I like this place because its spread out. I feel like it should have more seating but I do like that the trampolines are right there to where you can see your kid. There pizza is actually ok for it to be here and they always make them fresh. I love the manager as well she a great person. I cant remember her name but she's a shorter and white. Definitely recommend this place.

I held my boys birthday party here. We had a great time. We rented a table and the staff did a great job. The staff constantly checked on us throughout our visit. They were on top of things.

Place is dirty and worn down. Doesnt look like they clean the playgrounds and the toddler play area is completely worn out. The bathrooms are disgusting. No TP and sinks dont work.

Fun place for my boys to spend 2 hrs while on our family vacation.

Went to my nieces Bday party there. Had a room. Clean, friendly staff, they set up room nice and the pizza was very tasty. Easy to drive to and find. Only 1 thing, arcade games need fixing, no # of coins posted, no tickets coming out, no lights in existing button. Still had fun.

Great place to let your kids have late night good clean fun while exercising. Would highly recommend

Just went here for the first time today and it was great, it really exceeded my expectations. And the prices are great. We've been to Urban Air in Reno and I found this place much better for younger kids, and they're open at 10a midweek which is amazing for stay at home moms like me. There's a lot for every age kid to do age 2 and up. They even have a zone for smaller kids and a Ninja zone for kids over 48". The staff was nice and helpful. We happen to go Friday morning and they have a parent and tot deal that was awesome. We drove down from Truckee, I only wish we had something like this up there. I'd highly recommend this to any parent!

A Charming Airport with an 80s Flair This small international airport has a unique and authentic charm that takes you back to the 1980s. While it may not be the most modern facility, it offers a pleasant and hassle-free travel experience. The staff is exceptionally friendly, creating a welcoming atmosphere from the moment you arrive. One of the biggest advantages is the efficiency—there are no long waiting times, making check-in, security, and baggage claim quick and smooth. The airport provides a decent selection of amenities, including a few fast-food restaurants, bars, and sit-down restaurants, as well as a lounge for those who want to relax before their flight. There are also some shopping options to browse. Transportation is well-organized, with good public transport connections and convenient shuttle buses to nearby hotels. Overall, this airport may not be the most high-tech, but its nostalgic charm, friendly service, and efficiency make it a great place to travel through.

A smaller airport that is easy to get in and out of. Located close to downtown and plenty of airport shuttles available. Rental car center is on site. The terminals get a little crowded. Plenty of gaming machines along with a decent variety of food option. The airport was clean with plenty of seating.

Small but mighty! Reno-Tahoe Airport is compact, which makes it super convenient for pick-up and drop-off. The car rental area is just a short walk from the terminal — step outside and you’re practically there. It’s also located close to a Costco gas station, which is perfect if you need to refill before returning your rental. One surprising perk: they do have a lounge available for credit card holders — a nice bonus you might not expect from a smaller airport. That said, there are a few downsides. The regular security line can be slow, with wait times ranging from 20 to 30 minutes during peak hours. Unfortunately, there’s no CLEAR service here yet, which would’ve been a nice addition to speed things up. Overall, it’s a solid regional airport with some great conveniences, but be prepared for a bit of a wait if you’re not TSA PreCheck

Clean and compact airport, easy to navigate. Slot machines throughout if you want your last minute excitement. Get a seat at McDonald's to get an awesome view.

Lines moved fast at 5am on a Wednesday. TSA was friendly despite confiscating my unopened water bottle. Boarding on American Airlines went by fast and smoothly.

Older airport, but nice and clean. Grab a bite to eat, or gamble while you wait for your flight. Some grab and go stores, along with some fast food options. Restrooms are clean.

I liked this airport because it was just the right size. Security, gate staff, and rental car facility staff were just as friendly as I wanted and were quick with anything. I was in shock that no one was in security and it only took 2 minutes to get from the rental car facility to your gate. All in all, everything was so close and convenient. They also got good restaurants to choose from too before and after security. Overall, Reno-Tahoe Airport for traveling is the way to go!

Along the Truckee River is incredibly stunning this time of year. The vivid colors of the leaves changing into their fall attire is nothing short of magnificent. The recent rains brought the sweet aroma of our native white sage and sweet grass to enjoy. So tranquil.

Gorgeous. Lots of rafting options. Some class 3 rapids. Most excellent place for a dip. We were lucky to get out there without any smoke from the fires so I definitely recommend checking the air quality forecast before you head out. Though.. It would still be just as awesome a trip.

I don't know how I could rate a river anything but five star but this particular River really deserves it. I've lived along this River for most of my life now and a ground to really appreciate its amazing diversity and beauty all the way from Lake Tahoe out to Pyramid Lake, never being disappointed. It is an amazing River for fishing and recreation and just plain enjoyment.

It is tranquil. You can fish, raft or just hang out. It can be busy; you just need to know when and where to get to your spot; it is possible. The sound of water, the sound of wind and the sound of trees moving when you are with lives that are important to you, priceless.

The Truckee River runs through downtown Reno and adds charm to the rugged area. It's nice to stroll along and sit to enjoy it. You can even dip your feet in or go swimming in certain areas. There are restaurants, hotels and bars along the river walk too.

Watch out for Bears!! Beautiful place to stop and stretch your legs. Sometimes you'll even see a fly fisherman or two. Very serene.

Nice panoramic in the winter time I love this river especial in the summer time.

If you have been before, stop by again. The art is always changing. A great chance to see sculptures that have been displayed at Burning Man and some beautiful murals.

Accidentally came upon this art exhibit...was very enjoyable and relaxing. Wish they had more pieces though.

This is a pretty cool little park right down town Reno. It's an exhibit of Burning Man artwork. Suggest for all ages.

A cool spot that houses some smaller pieces from Burning Man. Always a good stop for a tour if you have someone coming to visit from out of town.

Fun park with some metal art. Best to visit this place at night. Lots of fun photos to take.

Reno houses amazing artwork! This was great to visit!

Awesome. I get where all the creativity comes from when people go to Burning Man. This feels a bit nostalgic for those kinds of enclaves. It's definitely a small but enjoyable park with interesting sculptures. Not many places to sit, and so more of a walking experience. Probably not very handicap accessible since the ground is all small stones.

Endless amount of Trails in this area. Don't be afraid to explore this area.

Easy breezy off road drive to a scenic overlook of Reno, the sierras, and the Virginia range. Standard highway vehicles would have zero issues with this trail.

Great place to hike, bike or offroad. Many NF trails along the way however a number of private properties along the way so be careful and respectful. High clearance is not needed on Peavine Road, the main road, but it is necessary on the side trails along with 4x4.

This was on my bucket list lol lame I know but it was very very cool driving up to the top. Road wasn't bad at all. Only way it could have been better is a nice thunderstorm in summer!

2 flat tires! Invite you to make sure yours tires are inflated and have good tread. The rocks were SHARP! Great views, AAA will not free tow.

Amazing beautiful views I am ham radio operator good taking sport 73

Perfect views ;) Drive carefully 👌

This place is a hidden gem located in downtown Reno. The venue is charming, the staff compromised mostly of volunteers are extremely polite, inviting and helpful. I attended a spectacular event for only $ 10.00 as a disabled senior citizen.. What an amazing blessing to be there alone celebrating my 70th Birthday surrounded by love of staff and listening to a spectacular concert with Mariachi and Reno Philharmonic.

This November 24 concert was excellent, the selections were perfect, and the pianist was highly skilled and even played an encore! Why is it that patrons of the Reno Philharmonic insist on applause between the movements of a concerto or symphony? Uncool!

I don't think I can express strongly enough my gratitude to the Phil for giving me a night of pure joy. A night of magic. The Christmas program was beyond words. They touched every little part of the Christmas experience. I wanted to laugh and cry and sing all at the same time. The talent displayed was fantastic. directo

I didn’t appreciate the saxophone piece. There was no continuity. Or maybe that was the message.

I was delighted to attend the opening performance of the Reno Phil's 55th season - it was a wonderful evening with exceptional music. Conductor Laura Jackson and the excellent musicians gave inspiring performances and guest artist Daniel Liebman was flawless in her nuanced playing. The Inside the Music talk was well worth attending but the highlight of the evening was Beethoven's Symphony No. 5. Truly a night to remember! I would love to hear Vivaldi's Four Seasons played by the Reno Phil - or any of Vivaldi pieces, in fact. Perhaps next season?

Just another outstanding concert with Laura conducting and a favorite soloist performing the signature piece. This certainly is a top symphony orchestra among its peers - mid-sized metro areas within CONUS!

Piano 🎹 tuned on back edge of stage, and then moved for the piece featuring the visiting pianist (who was fabulous). Never seen another venue do that! Conductor too far back, so musicians placed awkwardly facing one another, rather than the audience. Audience not reminded to turn off phones. Very obnoxious ringing during performance. Conductor also failed to coach audience to wait to applaud after final movement of the pieces.

Honestly, we didn't actually go inside but on the day we visited (which was a Saturday) they had some cool old-school fire and police vehicles on display out front and the super cool volunteers even let ErisEsoterica play with the sirens and ring the bell on the fire truck!

Our group played an afternoon concert here! Great location and great people! Love playing there! Thank you!

Great little museum, loaded with very interesting things to see, read, pictures to enjoy and much more.

Many memories from the Sparks, Nevada's past. Well organized with friendly volunteers. They take my offerings, allowing me to share things my mother and grandmother saved over the past almost 100 years!

Went to this place recently. We've been wanting to go here for awhile. This place is great! Alot of Sparks history and is educational. A fun place to go with the family.

This is a hidden gem in Sparks. We went to do some research on John Sparks and found so much more. I highly recommend checking it out, especially if you are a train enthusiast.

Awesome museum , lots of history in this area , Definitely worth the $5 bucks per person, it's fun for the whole family..

Went with a group of foodie friends. I love the table service! Steak Diane and banana foster were both excellent. Although a bit loud the food is very good. Wait staff was almost over attentive. Kept repeatedly trying to grab plates when not completed. But very courteous.

Best steakhouse in Reno. The service was absolutely amazing, the best service we’ve ever had. Food was timed perfectly and you get so much more for your money here. If you want to go out for a nice evening and impress your guests, this is the place to go. They give fresh hot towels at the beginning and end of service, a small little dish before your meal arrives, and gave us coffee cake in a to go bag before we left for the next morning.

Well they forgot our coffee cake at the end and the scallops came out barely warm but it otherwise good. We asked to pay but bill was given to my brother. For $800 nothing should have been forgotten. Server was friendly and for the most part great, but a strong finish would have been good for the price. Oh and the topper is the lid for the sauce was broken and we now have lemon solo all over our ribeye. So they didn’t box our items up correctly.

It was my first time dining at Atlantis Steakhouse, but definitely not my last! I had 3 spectacular cuts of Wagyu steak on a bed of creamed spinach and carrots! The service was exceptional, as was the food quality! My compliments to the chef!

My girlfriend took me here for my birthday and everything was amazing. The staff were on top of it and attentive, food was absolutely spectacular, nothing but good words about this restaurant. Also, one last thing to add; This was my first time trying Sea Bass and they crushed it!!

Absolutely fantastic experience at the bar thanks to Melissa and Fernando. 10/10 on everything. However…. Thick cut steak fries are listed on the menu and i was served sidewinder potatoes… don’t get me wrong they were great…. But…. Not thick cut steak fries. May want to consider adjusting the language on the menu to match the correct potato? Looking forward to my next experience here. Highly recommend

Appetizers & service were pretty good but my wife & I split a cowboy ribeye that was definitely the worst steak we’ve ever had at a reputable steakhouse. Quality seemed really low as it was super tough even though it was properly cooked to medium rare. Pretty much inedible, we took a $155 steak home to give it to our dog. Others at the table didn’t have negative things to say about their meals maybe we just got a bad cut of meat.

Just loved it! While most casinos are starting to show their age, this one still feels fresh and modern. Rooms are newly remodeled, spacious, and filled with natural light. Elevators actually work smoothly (a rare casino bonus!). I was here for a convention, and moving material was hassle-free with the bell desk’s help. If you’re attending an event, the 3rd-floor rooms are perfect since most shows happen right below in the 2nd-floor D & E halls. Wi-Fi was reliable, and while the property offers plenty of dining options, Uber Eats lobby pickup worked just as well.

Our stay at this hotel was quite pleasant overall. We were accommodated in the newly renovated rooms, which were impressively spacious, spotless, and thoughtfully modernized. The refreshed design gave the rooms a sleek, contemporary feel that made our stay especially comfortable. The ground floor was lively and full of energy, featuring numerous tables and slot machines that contributed to the hotel’s vibrant atmosphere. Dining options were excellent — the sushi bar and the all‑you‑can‑eat buffet were particularly popular, often drawing lines out the door, which spoke to their quality. We also spent some time at one of the hotel’s lounges, where the drinks were both well crafted and satisfyingly strong. The hotel itself is a striking landmark, easily visible from miles away. Our only complaint was that the casino floor allows smoking, and unfortunately, the lingering cigarette smell clung to our clothes by the end of the evening. Overall, it was a clean, modern, and entertaining place to stay — a solid choice for those looking for both comfort and excitement in one destination.

The wife and I had spent 3 days here had a great time. Never really even had to leave the casino. There wasn't much choice far as shopping, but food gambling and amenities were abundant enjoyed the place. I believed that we will definitely come back here. I hope you enjoy And good luck.

Customer service at its best! They really try to accommodate special requests compared to other hotels. They seem more compassionate in my opinion. Indoor pool is great! Love the buffet. However, we did not like the food at the fun center and the employees show the complete opposite of the test of the hotel. I would give that place 0 stars if I could. For a kid friendly place the workers there need a class on how to interact with the public. One of our chicken burgers was like a hockey puck, fries were bland and service was very disappointing 😞

Over all everything was great. Smoke ventilation could've been better, ate at multiple restaurants and they were all great. I had to leave on short notice and was running out of the door to catch the airport shuttle and it left without me. The valet Claudia Soto saw this and grabbed a vehicle and personally drove me to the airport. Very impressive. That's the type of customer service that stands out and sets others apart from the rest.

You’re honestly better off staying at the Grand Sierra. The rooms are nice but this place feels smoky, old, and outdated. You and the family would have a lot more fun at GSR, there’s more to do and the gaming and buffet is better. The supervisor running the arcade on Sunday (11/23/2025) was rude, and his coworker with the Afro wasn’t any better. The arcade says it closes at 10pm, but they shut down the ticket redemption area at 9:40. The prize machines aren’t great either. If it says 10, it should stay open until 10. The games are too expensive for customers to be treated like that.

Stayed here for two nights. The hotel is under renovation but didn’t feel as such. Which was nice. Decent size rooms. Clean. Double sink in the bathroom which is leaks a plus. Went to the spa for a 90 min deep tissue and a pedicure. The massage was wonderful. They masseuse really listened to where my problem areas were and focused on that. Asked for a pedicure in the salon and they booked me for a spa pedicure. Not sure it was worth the price. But it was nice. Enjoyed the pool with friends as well.

Brought some family to this park to enjoy some lunch. They have never been here. It was unanimous - a bit windy, but the park was great. We walked around the marina and enjoyed the birds, squirrels, and parasailors. The memorial honoring our fallen heroes was spectacular. Highly recommended.

Great place to walk. I used to walk it everyday. Then 11 yrs ago my husband and I moved out of town. I’m back. I moved back to Reno 6 months ago. This was my first trip back to the marina. It has changed a lot over the past yrs. But it’s only gotten better. I know I will be back for more walks.

Paddleboarded the park. Lots going on and lots of activities with fun people. Paddleboarding area has a few areas that go under the bridge to Venice like areas. Wish it was larger, but its a park that is in a very accessible location near Reno. Some small sand beaches. Nice park.

Nice running track, 2 miles around so easy to keep track. Sometimes the fountains are working and the bathroom are irregularly closed. It would be nice to have more access to fountains which is typically a regular problem with all parks in Reno/sparks.

totally worth it!! Its slightly overcrowded but evening walk was awesome. The bird and ducks are plus

This is a great place to go for a walk. There are clean bathrooms and a brand new playground for those who have limited abilities. The dog walking is excellent, with an enclosed area for dogs to swim in the warm months and run with joyous freedom.

Didn't get a bite. Walmart was out of nightcrawlers, so, I settled for red worms. A guy already there caught one on power bait. The fish were active on the surface, I don't know what they're feeding on. Ya see, my brother keeps insisting that I go fishing (I'd stopped going about 20 years ago, except when visting my other brother) and had bought me this fishing pole. So, ya see, I'm gotten to hav' ta catch a fish, I've been skunked the 4 or 5 times I've been out with it, see? I usually catch somethin', see?, but I ain't catchin' nutin', see? So, now you know! The fishin' stinks here, see? (I would da never bought this anyway, see? But I gotta catch a fish wid it, see?) Anyway, any fish that only eats power bait has got to be disturbed anyway, see?

What a wonderful experience. I hadn’t been in a long time and we decided to try breakfast this morning. I had the ham steak and eggs and the eggs were cooked perfectly. The ham was nice and juicy and generous. I have to say the hash browns were an other worldly experience. The best I’ve ever had. And it was accompanied by a lovely piece of sourdough toast. My sister got the Florentine omelette, which is turkey and tomato and spinach and a beautiful puffy omelette topped with hollandaise sauce. She had a nice bowl of fruit for her side. We both ate plenty and still had leftovers to take home. We definitely recommend trying it.

My favorite breakfast spot in all of Reno! I love the breakfast burrito because it is massive and full of flavor. The burrito comes with potatoes and beans as well but it's so big I just order the burrito. Mocha latte was awesome. Staff is very friendly and attentive.

Don’t let the appearance and location of this hole in the wall fool you~ you’ll be surprised! Whenever we’re up in Reno, this gem is one of our favorites to go to and have breakfast/brunch at. The atmosphere, service and of course the food is phenomenal and delightfuly delicious! You won’t be disappointed~ You’re welcome! 🤤😋👍🏼

My all time favorite Breakfast place. Nothing on the menu disappoints. The staff is amazing. You get the bang for your buck and definitely the flavor and deliciousness comes for free! So glad my good friend pointed me here, forever grateful. Chilaquiles are my go to!

I really wanted to love this place. As a long-time Sparks local, I was excited to finally check it out after hearing so many raving reviews. I brought my mom and my 7-month-old son for what I hoped would be a cozy breakfast outing. We started off with a lovely chai tea while waiting for our steak omelet — and yes, the portions are generous (credit where it’s due). Unfortunately, that’s where the good part ends. Let’s talk about the atmosphere. There’s nothing welcoming about being nickel-and-dimed at 8 a.m. over a $4 “plate-split fee” and a $2 “extra plate charge.” I’ve been to five-star restaurants that treat their guests with more warmth and flexibility — ironic, since our waiter was quick to compare the two. My mom, nearing 60, simply didn’t want leftovers. Instead of understanding, the staff made us feel like we didn’t belong there at all. And honestly, how humiliating is it for a mother to feed her baby off a napkin because the restaurant insists on charging for a plate? That’s not policy — that’s pettiness. $20 steak omelet without salsa, that was offensive! The food? It was fine. Not great, not terrible — though canned mushrooms on a $30 breakfast tab don’t exactly scream “hometown gem.” I was ready to give them another try, but when the service leaves you feeling small and unwelcome, no amount of seasoning can fix that.

If I could leave 100 stars I would! My mom and I shared the Crab Omelet and Seafood Benedict and they were so delicious! The portions are huge! Everyone who helped us was super! I'll be back the next time I'm in Sparks!

This place is very busy no matter what time you go. We went on a Thursday morning and there was a wait. The food was good if not a bit overpriced. I had the senior breakfast with sausage and it was plenty of food. The service was good but a little on the minimalist side. This is a local place and busy so it can be a little loud at times. Overall the food was good, the service was good and I will definitely be back.

A beautiful location with trails of various challenging levels spread out across the entire ranch. While in a small area, you can spend a few hours visiting historical sites and nature, with several wildlife species to spot. Mostly birds and snakes, but hey, it's not lifeless for sure.

Nice little hidden gem. I love the serenity of this little park. Nice trails to explore and grassy areas for my pup to relax. It's well-kept and also bathrooms are always a plus.

Brantley Ranch Regional Park is a great park in central Reno with a few beautiful trails with stunning scenery and features. The flume trail which is partially a wooden covered aqueduct was a great trail and the views of the valley below and open pasture which is part of the park was fantastic at sunset.

The concert venue is really great and we enjoyed the Michael Cavanaugh Artown show. Tip: Take a low chair with longer legs in the front. The hill you can sit on is pretty steep and your seat will slope downhill.

Great bridle trails or hiking. Areas to turn out your horses. Great, great views over entire Washoe Valley . Antique farming implements. Old school house etc!!

Love this place, been coming here for 25+ years!

The website says it's open until 8:30 but the gate is closed. They should at least keep the website up to date so someone doesn't arrive an hour before they are supposed to be closed and find out they wasted their time coming here instead of an park that is actually open.

Menopause was funny and so realistic! Very relatable, especially for someone who has gone through "the change". The actors were energetic and used perfect expressions and responses. Loved watching them. Thank you for a great show!

Menopause the Musical was hilarious. The women were so talented and it was such an enjoyment to watch. The songs, the performance, the costumes, and their voices were phenomenal. Loved it.

This show was hilarious. Great music, singing. These ladies were awesome. I would definitely recommend seeing this show & I would go see the show again myself. Excellent show!

Loved, loved, loved this show!! The music was familiar, but thoroughly enjoyed the new lyrics. All of the cast members were very talented.

I don't think there is a bad seat in the house. Seen a few shows here and loved them all so far.

Great Venue 😄, the kiddos loved the cabaret too

Menopause is a performance worth going to! AWESOME performance, hella funny!! Best show I've seen in many years. Thank You!!

RODEO!!! Growing up in the suburbs of Detroit, I had no idea what a rodeo was and what type of events are involved with the rodeo. After moving here in Jan 2022, all I heard about was the Reno Rodeo on the radio and TV. I had to see what this "rodeo" thing is all about. All I can say is WOW. This is my 4th year in a row attending this awesome and entertaining event. I am enamored with the spectacle of all the events but mostly in the athleticism and talent that these cowboys and girls need to have. Lets not forget how well these horses are trained to do their thing too. They are all literally amazing! From roping steers to barrel racing, riding bulls to wrestling steers, it is all amazing to watch, especially from a suburbanite! The entire Rodeo week has so much to offer the Reno area and we can be proud of such a fun and entertaining event. With something for everyone, there's the carnival rides for the kids, vendors to buy all your western gear and tack, beer tents, dancing and the list goes on. The Reno Rodeo Association does a bang up job wrangling all the members and volunteers to make this wonderful event roll each day like a smooth mechanism. I will be attending for year's to come.

The rodeo was a great experience and I had so much fun with great seats. I havent been in years so it was nice too see and the tents were popping. Definitely will be back next year with my family and friends!

Reno Rodeo is in town. With a carnival for children, bull show for men and great concerts for women. What more can we ask for. Come check out the Reno Rodeo

The Reno rodeo was a blast. The energy is high, the crowd is into all of the events, the events were all fun made for all age groups.. if you've never been to the rodeo I recommend that you set time aside on the calendar to go.

I had a blast.. paisans catered in delicious food and the bar was stocked the entertainment was great. I will go again

Great Fun! Get tickets early, they sell out quickly!

The shop here is terrible and really lacks any sensible customer service. Ordered a womens jacket. They sent me a mens saying: "It's been crazy busy here." Then they said they could exchange it. My mom had to drive all the way up there to talk to the person. Then when my mom told the person that I didn't like the color (because they didn't have a photo of the actual product on the site) they tried to convince her to buy another jacket. Ended up returning it, said I'd get a refund, yet they kept the 15 dollars shipping which was absolutely unnecessary due to me being in Carson City and "priority shipping BS" only took a day. DO NOT SPEND YOUR HARD EARNED MONEY HERE!!! THEY WILL TAKE IT AND JUST MAKE EXCUSES. REALLY REALLY WISH I WOULD GET MY 15 FREAKING DOLLARS BACK. SCAMMERS.

Please, more time for confession. Kindly I ask the father to stay until everyone in line has had the chance to confess, as we come seeking reconciliation with Jesus. We have come with open hearts and great hope for this sacrament, and it is important for all of us to receive the grace of confession. Many of us arrived early and waited patiently, in the line, and we kindly ask for the opportunity to be confessed.

Beautiful cathedral, wonderful priest, people and parish, we loved it

Older priest refused to absolve my sins with correct words. I asked him to twice and he walked away. He used "I forgive you" and "May God absolve you". Incorrect form invalidates the sacrament and is a sacrilege. And they wonder why people just give up and go to the SSPX. This is the second time in this diocese the priest has refused to use the correct form.

Most beautiful church and what a super priest great sermon

Welcoming place. There was a visiting priest from Guatemala and Venezuela there today. Music was good.

Wonderful church and mass service. My daughter had the honor of having her Quinceanera mass. It was so special and beautiful. Rocio was wonderful to work with. Thank you for everything ❤️

Beautiful cathedral in Reno where we went to mass.

This is so beautiful and fun to be outdoors and enjoy nature. This hike is a 3 mile hike up 3 mile hike down. Make sure you start early and have plenty of water and hat because you’re going to be in a direct sun all the way to the waterfall and then you will get closer to the forest.

Cold, briskly running mountain stream coupled with hiking and horse trails with occasional views of the Reno valley. Nice and cool getaway on a 90+degree day. Dog friendly, not crowded. Does have pit toilets, drinking fountains and garbage collection at the base parking lot.

Beautiful hike with somewhat difficulty to the average soft body. Some narrow areas of trail some shade once you hit higher elevations. I believe after 7-8 miles small waterfall thats picture perfect and is the payoff for the hike. I recommend the hike but I won’t just to keep it a secret spot🤐

We enjoyed this hike. It's fairly exposed a great deal of the time, wear sunscreen and appropriate clothes. Our GPS and another couple we met on the trail indicated it was over 7 miles. Not very intense but not easy either. Parts of the trail are narrow, loose rocks, and at the end, you'll need to cross the stream by logs. It is worth the hike! Absolutely beautiful falls!

Maintained trail follows Hunter Creek for about 2.5 miles to the falls. It's mostly uphill, and totally exposed, for the first 1.5 miles, then enters a nice wooded section before reaching the falls. I started around 6am & had the trail largely to myself until the return.

Hunter Creek Trailhead is one of the most accessible and rewarding hiking trails near Reno. Nestled in a dry mountainous landscape, the trail offers a calming escape with the gentle sound of the creek flowing alongside. A warm breeze often follows hikers through the terrain, making the experience both refreshing and rejuvenating. In the summertime, you’ll enjoy the mild, sweet scent of wildflowers. Much of the trail is lined with vibrant desert blooms, adding color and life to the rugged scenery. Along the way, you’ll encounter impressive rock formations, shaded stretches of dense pine forest, and ultimately, a stunning cold-water spring fed by freshly melted snow cascading over rocks—a well-earned highlight at the trail's end. Distance (round trip): ~5.5 miles Duration: Approximately 3 hours Tip: Bring an extra bottle of water. The higher elevation can leave you feeling thirsty faster than expected. Caution: This is a wild trail—watch out for reptiles. Carrying a hiking stick is a smart precaution. additionally, walking path is very narro one person walk, be careful when walking

Nice hike,good grade up to waterfall.... Lots of sun, shady spots and in the trees at the top. Close to 6 miles round trip. Nice scenery , great workout as well.

With several rock climbing gym options in Reno, this place is my favorite because of the culture and vibe they create. The indoor bouldering section is where they get the majority of their traffic. There is an outdoor climbing wall that attracts tourists and very serious climbers, but my favorite part is the bouldering gym indoors. The lighting is ambient and cozy, the gym is small, and indie music plays in the background. Dogs are allowed and all the staff and gym-goers are approachable and friendly. This is a great place to become a regular at. There is a small gym section with 3 treadmills, a weights rack, bicycles, a pulley, several isometric machines, weights and more. It’s a small scale gym with everything you need. There are two saunas, dry and steam, to relax in before or after you climb. Lastly, the gym partners with the cafe downstairs to offer special burger and beer deals during the week. It’s good food! Weather you are a tourist, or a Reno local, this gym is a great place to try something new.

Great climbing gym with everything you need at one place! MoonBoard, fitness gym, indoor bouldering, outdoor sport climbing, boutique, two saunas (dry and steam), clean showers and even a spot to do your laundry while climbing (very useful if you are traveling on the road!! iykyk) Staff is very friendly and the gym offers a more « old school » type of climbing and they also have a section only for kids. They are located directly on the 2nd floor of the hotel, and they are pet friendly. 🥰 I’m not sure if there was a specific parking lot for this hotel, but since we have a really high vehicle, we used the hourly parking in the streets (there was plenty all around the hotel). Since the entry fee is less expensive than other gyms, we didn’t mind paying for parking.

Fun environment, parking is tough especially in a larger vehicle. Having never been before it was a little tricky to find but once we arrived we had a blast. Staff was awesome, equipment was fun.

Fun, spacious gym with showers, offers shoe rentals and other equipment. Kids' climb room too! I highly recommend their classes: great, friendly coaching for all levels!

This place is amazing! As a novice climber, they have been so awesome to me. Very clean. Routes rotated often. Hardly ever crowded. Staff is always willing to help. Couldn't be happier.

Looking forward to returning to attempt the "Big Wall", as time/weather did not allow for it when I visited 2 days in a row. Loved how many amenities and features there are, such as a gym and shower. Different climbing routes along the walls for all skill levels. Amazing views even at the top of the smaller outdoor wall!

First time climbing here and it’s reasonably priced, brought my own equipment so I didn’t need to rent. But the outside climbing has automatic belay which was interesting to try and bouldering is fun too! Would come back!

Great selection of plants! The employees are super helpful and even guided me on which succulents are safe for our kitty.

Great store full of rare pieces to wonder around. The owner is super friendly and welcoming. Highly recommend stopping by if you are in Reno, it’s truly one of a kind.

This fittingly titled establishment is an easy to miss gem of the city. The eclectic taxidermy animals will bring joy to anyone who visits. Aside from an assortment of baculum, taxidermy animals, and other oddities, this shop also provides comprehensive materials for constructing one's own terrarium.

Very cool store with a unique spin. Plants and taxidermy. The taxidermy is definitely not my thing or something I support, but for those interested in it they had a cool selection and it creates a very unique environment. The plant selection was fabulous and the overall layout of the store is very nicely done. They had a huge variety of a lot of things, including bonsai trees which was a nice surprise. The star dock is for the service. The ladies were friendly when their attention was directly on us, but otherwise it was an unprofessional environment. Three girls, including one of the owners were crowded in front around the register loudly talking about dating apps and and on their phones scrolls through tinder. I totally get it and related with what they were saying, and get that we were the only other people in the store (a young couple) but it still rang as unprofessional. When we did ask questions the owner didn’t seem quite as informed as one might expect, but she was perfectly friendly. Overall a very cool store and worth a visit.

Very fun little shop with Succulents and Taxidermy. The atmosphere is great here, the interior design is very well done and gives a somewhat “Harry Potter”-esq vibe. The taxidermy can be a little off putting but they have a very wide array of interesting and uncommon succulents and plants. I was so happy that I came here yesterday because I’d been looking for a Bonsai tree and they have a few fun ones in the back! I am so excited about my new little Juniper, I was definitely not expecting them to have any but the owner told me that they carry them from time to time (every couple months she gets a few). I will definitely be coming back here for more of my plant-based needs.

Absolutely the best atmosphere in this little shop! It is locally owned by two amazing and lovely ladies! It is a great place to find rare and unusual plants as well as a large selection of taxidermy and other natural oddities. If you’re looking for something in particular that they don’t have they will take your info and find it for you in your price range. Make sure you have plenty of time to look around a couple times you will find new things everywhere you look.

This is one of the coolest hole-in-the-wall places in Reno. Super-well laid out, interesting items jammed into every corner. The prices waaay out of my price range, but I don't know much about taxidermy; they might be super cheap for what it is. Really cool to check out!

It's a great place to take a walk. It's a mile to walk around the lake. It's a man-made lake made in the depression.

It’s quite and have some small fountains. Also, there are dedicated places for fishing.

I've called Lakeside Drive at Virginia Lake home since 2016, and I couldn't be happier with this beautiful community! The neighborhood is tranquil and welcoming, with a strong sense of community. I feel safe and comfortable here, surrounded by friendly faces and picturesque views of the lake. The area offers plenty of outdoor activities, from walking and jogging paths to fishing and birdwatching. I'm grateful to have found this hidden gem in Reno and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a peaceful and supportive community to enjoy around-the-clock.

Beautiful lake to spend the afternoon walking and enjoying the view

Suitable place to take the dog on a road trip. Wouldn't let them drink the water. Paved paths for bicycles, dirt paths for dogs. Cute area.

Surrounding trail is exactly 1 mile around the lake. Kids park is metal so slides get sizzling hot in summer. Lots of ducks geese and other fowl.

I have mixed feelings about this park. If one is visiting it for the first time, then overall it has a nice look and feel to it. Obviously the plus is, you've got a little lake situated right in the middle of Reno (We are in the High Desert with little to no bodies of water period). So it definitely breaks the monotony. If you like to walk for exercise, then it's definitely the place for you! It's a mile around the entire lake, so you can get that heart rate up and walk a couple miles. If you've got a dog, then more power to you. There are A LOT of birds. And I mean a lot! They can be loud at various times of the day, and there's a lot of bird poop to go with them. But, overall it's manageable... Now, here's the downside. If you're thinking about a late night stroll or visit, then I highly recommend against it. Before I really knew the area, and we were living very close to the lake. I would go run it at night. 5-6 times around and I was good. But I noticed the later I ran, the creepier the area became. You've got guys driving real slow around it, looking for God knows what. Or perhaps a drug deal in one of the parking lots. Either way, the later it is, the least safer it becomes. There is an occasional police cruiser that makes itself known by circling the lake a couple times. But overall, it's great in the daytime- lots of trees and shade. And when the summer days are upon us, there is always something about being around a body of water that makes the heat a bit more tolerable....

Thali (Northern Indian Vegetarian Cuisine) Ambiance: Clean and no-frills space. Several tables assembled around an order counter which separates the cooking area and entry into kitchen. There is a doorway that leads to a bigger "courtyard" type of open space with additional dining tables. Service: Friendly staff who were attentive and trying to serve the patrons and still maintain social distancing protocols and adequate hygiene. Food: Homely basic Punjabi and northern Indian vegetarian dishes. Basic dishes cooked in millions of Indian homes. Familiar and good and satisfying healthy dishes. Foods that I remember being cooked by my mom as well as others over the many decades both here in America as well as when I visit India. They have gluten-free and other options to cater to various dietary requirements.

Had pizza and vegan food. Great atmosphere. Reminds me of Austin, TX!

Really enjoyable small Mall downtown. A selection of restaurants a little retail activity and a coffee shop. It was a bit cold for any outside courtyard activities and other seasons I have enjoyed the courtyard accessible by most of the stores.

Nice joint space with a few other nice restaurants.

Are at the fixx. Great vegan food.

Always find snacks for kids here.

Pizza spot was very good 💯
