The 10 Best Sights & Landmarks in Reno, Nevada (NV)

January 12, 2022 Marianna Hollaway

Nevada's "other" gambling and resort town, Reno is located in the western part of the state near the California border. What the city lacks in glitz or reputation it more than makes up for in attractions and amenities. There are first-rate hotels, golf courses and casinos to rival its southern counterpart and, also like Las Vegas, Reno has become a popular destination for families. Galena Creek Park offers nature trails that even young children can navigate, plus organized educational events for families.

Reno Air Racing Association

Reviewed By Janetg96A

Every September at Stead Air Field are the National Championship Air Races. It is a MUST DO event, at least once in a lifetime. Aircraft racing one another right in front of you. Six different classes of airplanes. Four race courses. The airplanes are never out of your field of vision. Jets and Unlimited aircraft roar by at 400+ MPH! Great static displays to walk around. Go into the pits to see the racing planes and talk with the pilots.

Trinity Episcopal Cathedral

Reviewed By montyb977 - Rock Hill, United States

I played an organ recital at the Cathedral (actually the third time I have been here to perform). The Cathedral's staff, vestry, and members are so friendly and welcoming and the church is beautiful. They are getting ready to do a renovation and I can't wait to see what it looks like when finished. The Casavant organ is one of the finest I have played and I always look forward to getting another opportunity to play here!

Truckee River Walk

River walkway that affords views of the river and Reno.

Reviewed By MariaDabaghchian

The riverwalk runs along the north side of the river with some meandering where foot and mixed bridges cross to the island home of Wingfield Park. It is especially attractive in autumn late in the afternoon when the fall foliage and sunsets flame the glassy stretches of the river. Brief plaques provide fun historical context. Some of the Riverwalk is simply a broad sidewalk bordered by the river on one side and restaurants and shops on the other, but other segments run through parks and, indeed one end is at Idlewild Park, where those enchanted by their ramble can continue near the river. It is a remarkable blend of urban amenities (shops & restaurants) and a wild-land feel with waterfowl and human frolicking in the water in the summer. . In how many urban rivers can you watch folks trout fishing for their breakfast? Parking is available nearby. Homeless people do hang out and sleep rough in some places here, but the context is peaceful and tolerant, with "Reno Ambassadors" being a positive calming and inclusive presence.

Their football games and stadium are awesome. We had so much fun!! The crowd was high energy and the stadium is small enough that there isn’t a bad seat.

Washoe County Courthouse

More marriage licenses have been issued in this courthouse than any other courthouse of its size in the United States. Completed in 1912, still in use today, it was designed by noted Nevada architect Frederick J. DeLongchamps in the neo-classical style and has several ornate features. Many famous people received their wedding licenses and divorce decrees in this old courthouse.

Greater Nevada Field - Reno Aces & Reno 1868 FC

Greater Nevada Field opened in 2009 as the home to the Triple-A Reno Aces, top affiliate of the Arizona Diamondbacks. In 2017, the ballpark welcomed Reno 1868 FC, a professional USL soccer franchise and top affiliate of the San Jose Earthquakes. The Aces and 1868 FC share the year round facility, which includes a haunted house in October, ice skating during the holidays, and dozens of community events through the year.

I am not really a baseball fan but my husband wanted to check this place out. It is right in downtown Reno and you can get free parking at one of the casinos. It is small enough that you feel like you are right there, very different from the big stadiums I have been to. I actually enjoyed the game. The home town fans are great! We have been to a Reno Aces game and to the Reno 1868 Soccer games. If you have a family and want to sit on the lawn in the backfield you still have a good view. It is a really fun experience

Saint Thomas Aquinas Cathedral

Reviewed By C-Z-1982 - Reno, United States

We went for mass on Sunday and as it happened, the bishop presided. Wonderful experience. The church itself is intimate, not overwhelming, and rather new/young (compared to other cathedrals). Would certainly recommend a visit, especially if looking for good and welcoming place to go to mass.
