What to do and see in Sparks, Nevada (NV): The Best Things to do Good for a Rainy Day

February 14, 2022 Agatha Simes

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.

Sparks Heritage Museum

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.

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.

Started in spring 2017, Revision Brewing features many hop forward IPA Winners that are created by a former Knee Deep brewmaster. Now CEO, Jeremy Warren has expanded his line in a spacious Sparks warehouse that features acclaimed IPA , sour beers and barrel aged beers. My secret favorite is the dark limited edition dark beers that tantalize your buds. Rich, velvety and luscious flavors abound. The new barrel aged series all feature a bourbon character with a kick. Happy hour good time to stop here. Taster flights to large growlers are offered.

My Little Brother (see BB/BS) and I have a great time experiencing a puzzle room for the first time. So many interesting ways to challenge the mind. We will definitely be back! When I left, I said, 'OTWAH!' Bonus points if you can figure that one out!
