Galena Creek Park is a favorite of nature lovers, and it doesn't matter if the weather is warm or cold. During the warmer months, the walking trails lead the way for outdoor exploration and open areas make it an ideal place to take the family or commune with the park's natural beauty. In the winter, cross-country skiing is the order of the day, and many ski buffs and snow bunnies make Galena Creek Park their home away from home.
Nothing starts a great, thought-provoking conversation like a great stage play. And you and your date can catch some great local, live theater at Reno's Bruka Theatre. The facility is rustic but the accomplished team of actors, actresses, directors and technical personnel always put on some highly impressive performances from classics like Richard III to lighter fare like Angry Housewives. So grab your tickets, find your seats and hold your date's hand through a romantic evening featuring accomplished local theater.
The Cactus Creek Southwestern Steakhouse is worth the effort it takes to find it, although you might have passed it or may be close to it without even realizing it! The restaurant is in the Bonanza Casino just north of downtown, and both the casino and eatery are local favorites that tourists may not find right away. The steaks are plentiful slabs of beef, and the side dishes are just as delectable. Add in great service, no-hassle parking and a usually short wait for a table and you've found a real jewel of a restaurant.
