It's a little bit of a drive but worth it. The animals are usually more active in the cooler weather.

the animal ark is about a 30 minute drive out of reno but worth it. Some animals weren't very active because it was slighty snowing off and on but otherwise a very nice place to take kids cost is 9$ per adult
