Reno has a long history of being a gambling town, but over the years, the Biggest Little City has grown to include swaths of small businesses, a top Carnegie® research university, eclectic communities with stunning homes, and so much more. While Reno will probably never fully ditch its party and gambling reputation, there are so many things that make it a family-friendly place to call home. To prove it to you, we’ve outlined some of our favorite family-friendly attractions in the Reno area.

 

  1. National Automobile Museum – As one of America’s top 10 auto museums, the National Automobile Museum is a top Reno attraction that features 200 eye-popping cars and a theater.
  2. Animal Ark – As a wildlife sanctuary and education center, Animal Ark is a safe haven for injured, abandoned, and otherwise non-releasable wildlife. They provide a lifelong home for animals that don’t have the skills to survive in the wild and encourage visitors to learn about their stories.
  3. The Discovery – Terry Lee Wells Nevada Discovery Museum – The Discovery is known for being where children can discover science through unique, hands-on programs and exhibits. There’s always something new happening at the museum. From exhibits to events and partnerships to build creative and critical thinking skills, you’ll never be bored here!
