Reno Gazette-Journal

Let's face it, not every neighborhood in Reno is ideal for trick-or-treating.

So we've compiled a list of alternatives for those who want to find a new block for their ghosts and goblins.

Have any better suggestions? Let us know in the comments!

* Old Southwest Reno: Crowds have become so large in this neighborhood that the city has started closing the street to make for a safer environment. Marsh Avenue, where homeowners go all out with the trick-or-treating experience, will be closed from California Avenue to Sharron Way from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m.

* Looking for somewhere warm to trick-or-treat? Head over to the National Automobile Museum between 4:30 p.m. and 7:30 p.m. A $2 entry fee gets you candy and games for the kids. Address: 10 South Lake Street. Parking lot entrance off Mill Street just east of Lake Street.

* Can't get more Nevada than trick-or-treating at the Governor's Mansion in Carson City. The event starts at 5 p.m., 606 Mountain St. Get some candy and a photo with the governor.

* Trunk-or-treat at Double Diamond Park, where kids can go from car to car to collect candy.

* Haunted mini golf course, family event, 6 p.m.-2 a.m., Tuesday at the Generator, 1240 Icehouse Ave, Sparks, $15 at the door. Email outreach@therenogenerator.com with any questions.
