Outside the casinos, there is plenty of action for the whole family in Reno, Sparks and Lake Tahoe. A road trip through time will discover the role the automobile played in history. There are more than 200 antique, classic and concept cars in authentic street settings at the National Automobile Museum. For some outdoor fun, the Wilber D. May Great Basin Adventure in Reno's Rancho San Rafael Park must be visited. Children can explore mining exhibits, a discovery room, petting zoo and play area while parents admire the private collection of adventurer Wilbur May on display in the adjacent museum. Sierra Safari Zoo si another attraction point. And kids of all ages love Sparks' Wild Island Family Recreation Center with its high speed water slides, miniature golf, video arcade and grand prix mini auto racing. Mother Nature truly smiles on Reno/Tahoe. Here, the sun shines more than 300 days a year, providing warm days, cool nights and pristine blue skies. In fact, Rand McNally rated Reno as number-one destination in America for outdoor recreation. Perhaps the best way to enjoy our Sierra sunshine is on the fairway at one of our 39 championship golf courses. A bike ride along the Truckee River, a leisurely stroll, or a picnic in one or Reno's beautiful parks. Lake Tahoe, the Jewel of the Sierra, is a natural wonder not to be missed. At 22 miles long, 12 miles wide and an average of 1,000 feet deep, Tahoe is one of the deepest alpine fresh water lakes in the world. Whether some enjoy sunbathing, boating, water skiing or fishing, or just driving the 72 miles of Lake shore for the magnificent view, Lake Tahoe is a real experience.
