What visitors say
Took the littles here while husband and the older siblings were at Boreal. It’s only an 11 minute drive and the 3 and 1 year old loved it!
We were stranded in Truckee during a winter storm, waiting for interstate to open (it didn't), and desperate for options to keep our 6 & 8 year olds from going stir crazy (and also for parents' sanity). The KidZone Museum came through…
Call before you go . We drove up from Reno forgetting about Thanksgiving weekend. 12:30 full and you could get on a waiting list with unknown waiting time waiting for kids to leave. Found a beautiful city park for free .
