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.
To bowl in Reno means not going to the bowling alley - you go to a bowling stadium! The National Bowling Stadium indicates that the people here take their tenpin very seriously. An impressive lobby leads to a glass elevator that looks out over the amazing 78-lane recreation facility. So if you like to bowl, get bowled over by the sheer magnitude and spectacle of the National Bowling Stadium.
The Sparks Heritage Museum traces the history and economic significance of how both mining and the development of railroads contributed to Nevada's progress. Through several detailed exhibits, artifacts and memorabilia, you'll gain a much deeper insight to how these two industries came to populate and eventually establish this rustic part of the United States.
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.
