Families tired of going to the same daytime attractions like theme parks and malls over and over again would do well to visit the Children?s Museum of Northern Nevada. It?s just enough to spend the entire day and finish up with a bit of shopping at the on-site gift shop. There, parents and kids can browse through an assortment of books and souvenir shirts as well as various types of games and crafts. Museum members also enjoy a maximum of 20% discount for their shopping spree.

The museum offers both educational and entertaining exhibits that are sure to delight every member of the family. Its permanent collections include a wide range of vintage rocking horses, an impressive array of mineral rocks, and HO trains. One of the centerpieces of the museum is its full-scale replicas of a sheriff?s office and even the Capitol building, which are perfect setup for kids who love to play make-believe. In fact, the museum even provides kids with dress-up costumes they can put on while playing in the area.
