- 1. Idlewild Park RenoThis central park features a large playground and a seasonal train ride that is popular with toddlers and elementary-aged children. Parents will find plenty of shade from mature trees and grassy areas for picnics, making it easy to spend two to three hours here.
- 2. Rancho San Rafael Regional ParkHome to the Wilbur D. May Center, this park offers a massive range of terrain including a dedicated dinosaur-themed playground and botanical gardens. It works well for all ages, but the expansive trails require comfortable walking shoes for a visit lasting about three hours.
- 3. National Automobile MuseumThe street-scene layouts and diverse car collection appeal to grade-schoolers and teens who enjoy history or mechanics. Most families spend two hours indoors exploring the galleries, which are stroller-accessible and generally quieter than other local museums.
