    This was an enjoyable experience. Milo was a perfect game host. She had a fun bubbly personality…read more She was great at getting more interactions out of us and in encouraging more betting. We are visiting the Tahoe area and saw a brochure. It is not like anything else I have ever tried. I use sensory for my work so it was fun to flesh it out in a different way. I would highly recommend! We went as just two people. The optimal amount of people in a group would probably be 4. I could see it as a great team building experience.

    What's a great time! We walked in blind, only knowing that you can get split up into teams, and…read moreyou're using all five senses to try and win. Our game master, Milo, was fantastic. She was very thorough in explaining what the game is like, the rules, and cheering our teams on. The games were fun and funny, and sometimes built up a sweat. I thought they did a great job coming up with games using all five of our senses. This would be a great place for TEAM building or for friends and family. You can have a minimum of two people and maybe up to eight, so there would be four on each team. I think any more than that would be a hindrance. It's not that big of a deal, but try to have your group it be split into even numbers. I feel that some of the games work out in favor of those who have more in their group. I've done so many escape rooms that this was such a great change of pace!

They're constantly bringing new and exciting exhibitions to our…read morecommunity, specifically those that are geared towards our elementary aged kiddos, which I sincerely appreciate. Most recently we visited Toytopia. This exhibit offers the chance to explore a hands-on history of toys from the past and into the future. My kids loved the oversized robotic claw, reminiscent of an amped up arcade machine. It was a blast trying to get the individually articulating fingers to close around the ball in order to lift it into the basket for the big reward. We also enjoyed the oversized battleship game. So fun to play and we spent 20-30 min there. Mr Potato Head was old school fun too. We made a competition out of it to see who could make the wackiest example. I think I won... or maybe my kids let me win. But the favorite had to be the mini arcade they had setup with some of the best old school cabinets. Donkey Kong, DK Jr., Dig Dug and so many more are all here as part of the exhibit and you could spend a long time here without realizing it! Oh and there's even a Zoltar fortune teller too! When you're done at toytopia you can go learn the history of Wilbur D May on the other side of the museum. I personally love exploring the artifacts and treasures he collected from his travels, especially the hunting and fishing trophies! All in all, a great little place to spend a

Just understand that May was a "big game" hunter when that was not frowned upon as it is now. Many of his "trophies" are found throughout the museum.

    Fantastic ice, festive ambiance!…read more Outdoor ice skating is so special! If you're lucky, you can skate in an indoor rink anytime of the year. But for the winter holidays, I feel especially lucky to find an outdoor rink. The outdoor rink at the Grand Sierra Resort is so festive! I skated here for the first time in December 2024, and was excited to visit Reno and the GSR Outdoor ice rink again in December 2025! This place has great holiday vibes with their decor, music, fire pit, heat lamps, and drink cart! The staff here are super friendly - shoutouts to BRADLEY P., JOSH, and MARK! The ice is very well maintained by Zamboni driver JOHNNY F. who really knows what he's doing and does a fantastic job! Most recently, I skated on the 9:30-10:30pm session on a Friday night, but due to my schedule, I wasn't able to get to the rink until 10pm and decided I would be happy to pay to skate for even just 30 minutes from 10-10:30pm. I didn't reserve a session on-line, but had no issues paying at the window in person. Of course, I was 30 minutes late, so there were no lines at that point. The charge is $19 for a session, but since I brought my own skates, it was only $12. Despite the crowds, the ice was still good 30 minutes into the session. You could tell everyone was having a fun time. I decided to also skate the 11pm-12 midnight session since I was having so much fun too! The Zamboni driver cleaned the ice at 10:30pm and was on schedule for the next session to begin at 11pm. (If you're a night owl, you and your friends can have the ice almost to yourselves for the very last session of the night!) The ice is super clean and amazingly in great shape - no leaves on the ice, no rocks, nothing but smooth ice - even though it's exposed to the elements 24/7! So smooth I was easily able to spin and jump and do a few other tricks on this ice. If you're planning a trip to Reno in the winter time, this is a great gift to yourself, family and friends!

    A good little rink to have a skate but nothing fancy. Sort of hidden beyond the pool but there are…read morenearby fire pits and a small drink stand that also serves hot chocolate, but it is very basic and I wouldn't recommend it.

It was a bit strange today having only one person swimming in the giant pool. It was overcast and rainy, Saturday evening... I guess I was the only one that needed to do laps but, when you're face down in the water, you don't really see anyone else or talk to anyone else. This is my favorite swimming/exercise spot . Can't say enough about it. Don't forget, the membership here also allows you to go to the other Reno area pools. Including Idlewild, north Northwest and Mount Evelyn or Evelyn Mount whatever it is. Lol

    Time to check in on the pool 18 months in. I am happy to report that the facility is being…read moremaintained really well and it still has that new pool smell. Ok, maybe it is a clean pool smell. The building, locker rooms, seating areas, parking lot and outdoor areas look good. If you haven't been and you are thinking it is just another community pool like Alf Sorrenson or Idelwild, it is not. This is a jewel in the Parks & Rec. Department's offerings. This facility gets bonus points for being fully self sustainable with the hot springs and solar. The rates are reasonable with discounts on Wednesday evening and Sunday. RecConnect passes start at $12 per month.

The food was surprisingly good. I tried the chicken wings with their hottest sauce and couldn't stop licking my fingers. They were perfectly crispy and came with a nice side of fries and healthy veggies to dunk in the ranch. The sauce was balanced with a good punch of vinegar and a nice kick of heat and the service team really knew the menu well so they helped guide us to some great selections. The mini golf being themed around our city was a fun time too, and I loved the addition of the Joker, which makes each whole play a little different and the game of mini golf a whole lot more interactive. I loved how it would encourage. Encouraged you to connect with the people you're playing with talk to them and strategize around how to leverage these advantages to help you win. Now the darts was a big surprise. This fancy tech driven dartboard that they have includes a bunch of super fun games that make darts approachable for any person. I'm not a Dart player. Maybe I've thrown one a few times but the variety of games they offer made it super fun. We crashed castles and spaceship ships and played team games in individual games in the our past and all of us were like oh no is it over? Seriously, put Birdeez on your radar for a good time. You won't be disappointed.

Trail wends through the mature trees, leading to other areas with benches and picnic tables. The soothing sound of the river can be heard from most of the trail, and you'll also hear several species of birds. Informational plaques are located throughout the park, describing various aspects of the land, flora, and fauna. Overall, a peaceful park that will get you away from the hustle and bustle.
