Trampolines & Skate Parks

Woodward Tahoe is an outstanding, indoor and outdoor family fun center. Located at Boreal Mountain Resort, just off Interstate 80, Woodward’s 33,000 square foot indoor “Bunker” has 7 trampolines, 2 skateboard parks, and numerous foam pits, drops, and rope swings. Outside are more skate parks, plus bike and parkour parks, and a spacious, sunny deck perfect for viewing the action.

Scenic Rides

Heavenly’s gondola travels from South Lake Tahoe straight up the mountainside to spectacular views of Lake Tahoe, trails and rides. Palisades Tahoe’s large aerial tram travels up 2,000 vertical feet from Olympic Valley to the resort’s High Camp lodge.

Drives

The 72-mile drive around Lake Tahoe can be a scenic 2 to 3 hours or an all-day odyssey with entertaining side trips. Pack a picnic lunch or dine at a lakefront restaurant. Other scenic road trips include Mt. Rose Highway 431, historic Virginia City and its wild horse country, and highways 89, 88 and 4, south of Lake Tahoe.

Golf

Edgewood Tahoe at Stateline is the “Pebble Beach” of the mountains, site of nationally televised American Century Celebrity Golf Championship. South Tahoe has three additional public links. In North Tahoe, historic 9-hole circuits are found at Tahoe City Golf Course and Old Brockway in Kings Beach, where in 1934 Bing Crosby created the pro-am tournament that is now the ATT National Pro-Am at Pebble Beach. Nearby, Incline Village has two beautiful courses. Truckee and Northstar boost seven courses, including the Jack Nicklaus-designed Old Greenwood and Peter Jacobson-designed Grey’s Crossing.

Miniature Golf

Find mini-golf fun at Kings Beach Miniature Golf or Magic Carpet Golf locations in South Lake Tahoe and Carnelian Bay. Heavenly Village lays out summer-only holes on its plaza.

Museums & History

Tahoe museums include Donner Emigrant Trail Museum outside Truckee, Gatekeepers Museum in Tahoe City, Tahoe Environmental Research Center in Incline Village, and Lake Tahoe Historical Society Museum, South Lake Tahoe. Nearby, Virginia City is a living museum with well-preserved downtown, steam train, and tours of the historic Comstock Lode mines. The Nevada Museum and Nevada Railroad Museum are in Carson City. Reno boosts the Nevada Museum of Art and National Auto Museum.
