Our town is such a hub of activity that in Carson City, things to do can include just about anything you can imagine. Indoors, there are museum exhibits, art shows, movies and plays and a whole range of informational presentations about the state government. The comics and collectibles stores host one kind of gaming tournaments, while the casinos host gaming events of an entirely different nature. Dining and dancing are high on the list of things to do in Carson City, with a wide range of foods and entertainments. The library has informational and educational events, while Western Nevada College is the site of countless opportunities to learn and play. And for those who consider shopping to be an aerobic activity, the downtown area offers several shops within walking distance, or you can spread your day out to the great shopping to be found all over town. Outdoors, we're blessed with green spaces and parks, hiking and biking trails, open spaces, mountains and even a bit of Lake Tahoe. When you're looking for things to do under the open sky, there's more than enough to fill your days, no matter what the season. Be sure to dress for the weather and for the activity, and you'll see why so many outdoor sporting enthusiasts make their home here.
