Store Your Luggage Around Reno With Bounce

Reno is a city found on the northwest side of the U.S. state of Nevada, nestled between Lake Tahoe and the Sierra Nevadas and just close to the California state line. Commonly referred to as the “Biggest Little City in the World,” Reno got its name from Union Major General Jesse L. Reno, who died in action during the American Civil War. While Reno is often overshadowed by its flashier and more luxurious sister, Las Vegas, Reno has a vast range of educational, cultural, and entertainment attractions that can keep you busy for days. Like Las Vegas, Reno’s main industry is tourism, especially its casino scene, which draws over five million visitors every year. 

Reno has plenty of fun and unique activities and attractions, including bowling tournaments, hot-air balloon rides, automobile shows, and more. Additionally, the city is a great base or stopover for those planning to see the famous Lake Tahoe, which is just a 45-minute drive away.

Top Things to Do

Although Reno is best known for its casinos, those looking for a different experience can still enjoy other activities and cultural experiences. From museums to incredible restaurants, there’s no shortage of things to do in the “Biggest Little City in the World.” 

Museums

What Reno lacks in size, it more than makes up for with its selection of quality museums that can rival any larger city. There are numerous world-class museums in Reno that you should definitely see when in the area, including the following:

• Nevada Museum of Art: Located south of downtown Reno, the Nevada Museum of Art is the city’s most renowned museum. This is because it is the only museum in the state of Nevada that is accredited by the American Alliance Museum. The award-winning facility was designed by prominent architect Will Bruder. It has an incredible collection of traditional and contemporary art, including paintings, photography, digital media, and more. Furthermore, the museum’s outside area is filled with numerous permanent exhibits, including some unique pieces from the famous Burning Man festival. The museum also has drinks and live music every first Thursday of the month. (Bag policy: Oversized bags or backpacks are not allowed inside the galleries. Instead, head over to a nearby Bounce location and drop off your things there.)  
• National Automobile Museum: Whether or not you’re a fan of cars, you will definitely appreciate a visit to Reno’s National Automobile Museum. As its name suggests, the facility’s exhibits consist of historic vehicles and automobiles of the 19th and 20th centuries. This collection of about 1,450 automobiles was actually owned by late casino owner William “Bill” F. Harrah, which is why the museum is also dubbed by locals as “The Harrah Collection.” While there were plenty of attempts to buy Harrah’s automobiles, a nonprofit organization ultimately gained possession of the collection and built a museum to exhibit it. (Bag policy: The museum has no strict policy regarding carrying of bags inside. However, if you want to keep your hands free to take photographs, which is allowed in the facility, it’s best to leave your things with Bounce.)
• Terry Lee Wells Nevada Discovery Museum: Also known simply as “The Discovery,” this museum is one of Reno’s most popular attractions and a family favorite. The 67,000-square-foot space has exhibitions that focus on science, technology, engineering history, and art and is meant to get your creative juices flowing. Visitors of all ages can enjoy educational displays and try the different learning spaces and interactive areas. This one-of-a-kind museum is a definite must-see when in Reno. (Bag policy: All types of luggage or large bags are not allowed inside the museum. To avoid any inconvenience, look for a Bounce partner nearby and store your things there.)
