Okay, for the fun stuff...
Hot Air Balloon Race (Rancho San Rafael Park)
The early morning hour acts much like a good cup of coffee without the side effect, while the air briskly releases hints of fall. Looking around you see over acres of fabric bellowing, gently introducing panels of vibrant color into the landscape. As hot air encompasses the material, the liftoff begins and your spirits ascend with the hot-air balloons as they take flight. All the excitement begins first weekend of September.

Animal Ark (Red Rock Area about 20 minutes from Downtown)
It is a 38-acre wildlife sanctuary and nature center Northwest of Reno, Nevada. This facility's rural setting provides an ideal place to house non-releasable wildlife and allows the public a unique opportunity to view these animals in natural habitat exhibits through glass viewing areas.

Truckee River Whitewater Park (Downtown Reno)
Five drop pools in the north channel and six in the south channel. Drop pools are round pools for kayaking maneuvers that decrease slightly in elevation with each successive pool, to keep them supplied with fresh water. This area is surrounded by grassy and shaded picnic areas.
