Bring it in

As winter sets in, many people are looking forward to spending chilly evenings by an open fire. Winter sports aren’t for everyone—but prolonged idleness can lead to a serious sense of cabin fever. In Reno, you can find a variety of activities to work your body and mind, without strapping on a set of skies or a snowboard.

Coconut Bowl

Those hoping for an all-in-one option can find it at Wild Island Coconut Bowl, next to Legends at Sparks. The 40-lane bowling complex also features glow-in-the-dark miniature golf. What makes Coconut Bowl so great is the how well it fits for a family of all ages, with many options depending on the mood of the night. Whether you are feeling a bit limber and want to take on the laser maze, or your dad wants to prove his marksmanship in the 3-D zombie shooter arcade ride—Coconut Bowl has something for everybody.
