Instead of having the kids stand in front of a video game, give them a chance to move around for some good old fashioned exercise at Fun Quest, located inside the Reno Hilton. In addition to a great selection of video games, the kids can enjoy a turn behind the wheel on the magnetic bumper cars, the Galaxian Video Game Theater and laser tag. Plus, mom and dad will enjoy the 50 lane bowling alley, 2 screen movie theater and shopping mall. Fun Quest could be the best family attraction in Reno - you be the judge.
