What is an Adventure Center?

Adventure Centers are designed to engage and educate visitors while supporting local businesses, incentivizing growth in each community’s outdoor recreation economy and creating new jobs. Staffed by experts, the centers will provide residents and visitors with safety and conservation information, connect them with vetted local tour guides and outfitters, and enhance their understanding of outdoor activities in the region.

State parcels were identified in Boulder City and Carson City to house these recreation hubs.

“More so than ever before, the need to enhance Nevada’s outdoor recreation infrastructure and status within the outdoor recreation tourism economy has become strikingly apparent,” said Brenda Scolari, Director, Nevada Department of Tourism & Cultural Affairs. “As a state with 86% public land, outdoor activities will always be a primary tourism asset that requires investment.”
