Famous for its casino district, most travelers take a trip to Reno looking to hit the slots and play table games. However, there’s more to “The Biggest Little City in the World” than poker chips. It’s also home to a wildlife sanctuary, minor league ballpark, and historic museums, to name a few. Follow this 3-day itinerary to explore Reno without stepping foot inside a casino.

Friday | Check-In and Bust a Gut at a Comedy Show

• Friday afternoon: Check-in to your hotel and unwind after your journey.
• Friday night: But before you get too comfy in your room, hit up one of the comedy shows in Reno. We recommend catching a stand-up or improv performance at Laugh Factory, which has hosted famous comedians such as Dave Chappelle, Robin Williams, and Chris Rock.

Saturday | Observe Wildlife, Hike a Riverwalk, and Catch a Ballgame

• Saturday morning: If you’re searching for things to do in Reno with kids, head over to Animal Ark for the early bear feedings. This sanctuary for non-releasable wildlife lets visitors watch the various animals in their habitats and educates them about why the animals can’t go back to living in the wild.
• Saturday afternoon: Continue enjoying the fresh, non-smoky air found outside casinos with a stroll along the Truckee Riverwalk, a 2-mile looped trail that wends alongside the namesake waterway. Be sure to grab a bite at one of the Riverwalk District’s pubs or cafes along the way.
• Saturday night: Watch the sun set over the mountainside range from your seats at Greater Nevada Field, home to Reno’s minor league baseball team The Aces. Grab a beer and hot dog and indulge in America’s favorite pastime—just don’t let the gorgeous mountain views distract you from any foul balls headed your way.

Sunday | Go Fishing and Visit the National Automobile Museum

• Sunday morning: Get up early and cast a line at Virginia Lake Park, a popular spot for fishing thanks to a public pier that’s open 24 hours. The sunrise is particularly beautiful here, to boot.
• Sunday afternoon: Cap off your trip to Reno with a visit to the National Automobile Museum. The famous museum displays more than 200 vehicles ranging from horseless carriages to race cars and celebrity rides. And it isn’t solely for car enthusiasts, either. Visitors of all kinds will be hooked by the authentic street scenes and sounds displayed alongside the vehicles.
