Known as the “Biggest Little City,” Reno Tahoe, Nevada, invites family travelers to explore its many natural wonders, museums, attractions and more. Looking for some inspiration for that family trip?
Mountains and Outdoor Activities
The city sits a stone’s throw from the Sierra Nevada Mountains, where visitors can go hiking or on a boat ride in North Lake Tahoe. Take the Tahoe Flume Trail to Monkey Rock for picturesque views of the lake and mountaintops.

Family-Friendly Dining
Outdoor activities can work up an appetite even for the littlest of travelers, and Reno Tahoe offers a wide range of dining outlets for all. Grab a bite at Noble Pie Parlor, a pizza parlor featured on Diners, Drive-ins and Dives. This pizza place uses fresh ingredients for delicious pies and even offers gluten-free and vegan options. They even have wings on the menu, too!
Artwalk and a Discovery Museum
Reno Tahoe boasts more than 100 murals in Midtown, and art aficionados can stroll on the Riverwalk to see many art pieces, including past Burning Man sculptures. And for some indoor fun, take the family to the interactive Terry Lee Wells Nevada Discovery Museum. Here, kids will learn about the water cycle, experience a hands-on model of the Truckee River watershed and delve into the world of water and its many uses.

Wildlife Sanctuary
Animal lovers can’t miss the Animal Ark Wildlife Sanctuary. Families can get up close with non-releasable animals like Poppy the tiger, Gibbs the grizzly bear and Mochi the iguana.
Non-Stop Fun at the Hotel
Don’t fret about finding a good place to stay. At Grand Sierra Resort and Casino, the whole family can make memories without leaving the property thanks to the on-site Go-Kart track, mini golf, bowling alley, movie theater, giant video arcade, virtual reality area and laser tag.

Best of Both Worlds
