The Wilbur D. May Center is a year-round destination for people of all ages. It contains a museum, arboretum, and botanical garden - dedicated to preserving the legacy of Wilbur May, a Reno rancher, world traveler, and philanthropist. The museum contains a beautiful permanent collection of rare and exotic artifacts and animals from around the world. The 20+ acre arboretum and botanical garden features beautiful plants, trees, and flowers, along with hidden groves, ponds, waterfalls, and a meditation labyrinth.

Didn't expect this to amount to much but it was outstanding. An incredible collection of safari trophies, horse awards, African and other parts of the world collectibles and a series of dioramas with additional African animals. Short movie explaining who Wilber May was and detailing some of his background and exploits set the stage for the museum. Very well done. We didn't visit the attached Arboretum and Botanical Garden but those should add to the experience.

An indoor park located in the Sam's Town Hotel. The park comes alive when a laser light and water show performs every few hours.

Mystic Falls is the perfect location for everyone. A recreation of a wooded area with animals, it's a relaxing escape from daily life. The water show is decent. The animals during the show will bring out the joyful child in everyone.

6. Idlewild Park

A very pleasant park with grass and trees and a beautiful rose garden. Sited on the south side of the Truckee River in a pleasant residential neighborhood, it is a pleasure on its own or as an extension to Reno's Riverwalk. A very pleasant Sunday experience: Start at the west end of Idlewild, stroll the pathways going east to the end of the park and the cross on the mixed (traffic and pedestrians) bridge to the north side of the river and follow the Riverwalk down to the restaurant district (begins just a little east of Arlington). 3 historic churches are also close by Trinity, with magnificent stained glass windows, St. Thomas with amazing doors and the gothic revival First United Methodist Church. Strolling back along the Riverwalk after lunch brings you to a pleasant plaza between Washington and Winter streets where coffee and ice cream parlors afford a pleasant break before continuing back into Idlewild where you may like to take a turn around the little lake, as well as wandering along the path near the river.

We are proud to offer fresh-crafted, locally-made, gourmet chocolate. Our preservative-free treats have been made fresh in Henderson, Nevada since 1981, and most of our ingredients are made on site. We also offer one of the world's largest cactus gardens, which we decorate annually for the holidays and Valentine's Day with hundreds of thousands of lights and festive designs. Ethel M Chocolates is a Mars, Inc. company. You may be familiar with other Mars products, like M&Ms, Snickers, Twix, Milky Way, and Dove, among others. But Ethel M Chocolates is the only gourmet, premium chocolate brand in the Mars portfolio. And it's made fresh, here in Henderson. Stop by!

Living in Las Vegas, I have heard about the Ethel M Cactus Garden Christmas Lights. This year, I was lucky to hear about the required reservations due to Covid and snagged a reservation. Invited several friends, but only one would accompany me. We made it two minutes late, but were welcomed with open arms and thermometer (for Covid testing). We dropped off the food bank donation (toys or food were suggested on their website). Driving there, you do not see anything until you turn the final corner. The spectacular display just appears as you turn into the parking lot. And a glorious and welcome site it was. Your reservation is for 15 minutes of walking and viewing the entirely decorated 3 acres of cactus gardens. You are welcomed with your choice of milk or dark chocolate piece of candy to get your energy up for the viewing. There are identifying signs for various cacti that you see along the one way path (again, for Covid). Amazing to see these long cactus spines sticking out from trunks wrapped in colored lights.. Different presentations as the cactus changed. Lights in trees, cascading like water, filling up and starting again. One section had displays of blue and green jewel colored lights turned into a family of peacocks. (See photo.) Lots to notice if you take the time to stop and look with eyes of wonder like I did. You don't have to enter the candy shop at the end of the viewing, if you don't want to. But we did. Tremendous variety in milk or dark chocolate and also sugar free. I selected a macadamia nut, Bailey's Irish Cream and coconut delight choice, all in dark chocolate. They were eaten in the car on the way home ! I blew my calorie count for the day, but it was a wonderful way to top off a totally sensory experience. My appointment was on Dec 28th, seeing all that beauty after Christmas did not matter for me, it might be different for children. Convenient to freeways, depending on the route you choose. Nighttime is early at this time of year, so lights are spectacular for viewing. Dress warm, take your time, look every which way for different views from behind of displays you already passed. Take it all in and have as much fun as we did.
