Reno Things To Do

Practice your whitewater moves in Wingfield Park’s popular half-mile course with 11 drop pools and class 2 and 3 rapids fed by Tahoe’s alpine snowmelt. Access is available year-round (bring a wet-suit in winter).

Reno’s massive public park offers up picnic areas, a 12-acre, wooded arboretum, creeks, marshland, Botanical Gardens, the anthropological Wilbur D. May Museum, and Great Basin Adventure park for kids.

Sharp reflexes win giant, stuffed animals at this interactive arcade reminiscent of a county fair – just don’t get distracted by the frequent, free, live circus acts!

A wealth of exotic animals including white tigers, baboons, emus, zebras, alligators, and sloths, delight at this wildlife sanctuary. Open April through October.

Hundreds of hot rods from 1892 to present – including the original Batmobile – will rev the engine of even the most relaxed auto-enthusiast.

A modern architectural landmark in itself, Reno’s main museum offers four floors of paintings, photography, and rustic sculpture organized around themes of land and environment.
