Flash back to a much simpler, romantic time by taking your honey to a drive-in movie at West Wind Drive-Ins . Hear the film's audio through your car radio and get a big tub of popcorn as you and your main squeeze snuggle up to watch one of today's biggest movies in an old-fashioned, classic way.

The Nevada Museum of Art invites you to explore and learn while contributing to help preserve the tradition of art for many generations to come. With various contemporary and classic exhibits, the curators and professionals at the museum work hard to continue hosting a steady stream of compelling presentations. If a tour of the museum isn't enough, the NMA offers the chance to dig deeper and learn about the art and the artists it supports at its E.L. Concord Museum School.

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.
