Arrow Creek Country Club

Sparks Rotary is an ideal place to cast your line whether you're flying solo or bringing the whole family. Actually, it is an ideal place to teach your kid the virtues and fun of recreational fishing, but remember that if your fishing companion is over 12 and he wets a line, he needs to have a license to do so. At any rate, it is an ideal place for some quiet, relaxing family fun.

Since 1992, Q's Billiard Club has been racking 'em up as Reno's coolest pool room. It holds the distinction of being Northern Nevada's only pool room with a bar and grille inside, and that means that you won't miss a minute of table action since your munchies and drinks are close at hand. And speaking of drinks, Q's features one of the most famously stocked bars in town. So grab your cue and head to Q's!

The Sierra Arts Foundation has a very simple mission: to nurture, teach and support by giving back to the local community. Sierra Arts offers various education programs, music seminars and lessons, and presents their very own ElderCare Concert Series that is designed to continue to bring music to the lives of the elderly in the area. The gallery also features nationally renown artists with various rotating exhibitions that continue to help support this organization's noble mission of community-minded service.

Sometimes, science and nature can put on a better show than any Hollywood movie. That is always the case at the Fleishmann Planetarium and Science Center at the University of Nevada in Reno. Through the technology of wide-screen film presentations, you can experience what it feels like to be caught in a hurricane on the bayou, go on a cosmic safari through the solar system and even brave the mysteries of the Nile. There's always a full schedule of exhibits and special presentations, and the kids will love the multidimensional, interactive activities. And don't forget, the planetarium is open until 9 so you can get up close to the planets and the stars through the high-powered telescopes that are housed in this showcase of natural, interplanetary wonder. If you crave and appreciate knowledge of planet Earth, this is the attraction for you.
