Along the Truckee River in the tranquil Truckee Meadow is fast-growing Sparks, Nevada, Reno's less flamboyant neighbor to the east. Although home to only one high rise casino, Sparks offers visitors other pleasures with live festivals and events in open air venues, a lively farmers' market, a multiplex theater and less pricey accommodations than its high-rolling neighbor. Its proximity to both Reno's casinos and Lake Tahoe makes Sparks a perfect destination for a Northern Nevada Vacation.

The Sparks Heritage Museum boasts 4000 square feet of indoor exhibit space and an outdoor train exhibit consisting of a Steam Locomotive, a Caboose and a Pullman Business Car. Using artifacts to tell the story, the exhibits give a sense of the rapid changes northern Nevada has undergone, from ranching and mining to the introduction of the railroad and into modern times. Tours can be arranged by appointment.
We moved here a little over 1 year ago and went for a walk in downtown Sparks. Stopped in and truly enjoyed learning about the history of our new home. Very interesting and informative displays.

This is a great park for walking with or without the dog. Family friendly with a kids playground and swimming in the season. There is a veterans memorial area which is nicely designed in the front and you can canoe or kayak in the marina.

Even though I thought the movie was lacking, the theatre is good to go. Been here many times and never had an issue. Was able to bring a dirty Wookie in the theatre as well.
