Nebraska has something for everyone. From cowboys to wine industry, you’ll find many attractions when you visit this Great Plains state. If you are planning a family vacation to Nebraska, you won’t want to miss the Lincoln Children's Zoo in the state capital. Featuring more than 400 animals, you and the kids can see Amur leopards, Bactrian camels, river otters, eagles, crocodiles, reindeer, and more. At the zoo’s Butterfly Pavilion you can watch as butterflies emerge from their cocoon. The Aquacourt Family Water Park in Hastings features a wave pool, climbing wall and waterslides. In Omaha, Nebraska’s largest city, you won’t want to miss the Omaha Children's Museum. For history buffs, Lincoln is your place. This city is home to the Nebraska History Museum, with permanent exhibits that interpret more than 12,000 years of human experience on the Plains. You can make history personal in Lincoln with a visit to the Nebraska State Historical Society Headquarters, where you can research your family history. Omaha is also home to The Durham Museum, featuring restored train cars, 1940's storefronts and other historical artifacts. For a bit of Nebraska heritage, make sure you visit Front Street and Cowboy Museum in Ogallala and the Tri-State Old Time Cowboys Memorial Museum in Gordon. Learn about the area’s wine industry and history on a Nebraska Cork & Bottle Tour through Raymond, Pawnee City, Lexington and St. Paul, sampling fine wines and taking in the scenic views.

The Bike Rack

Reviewed By WilliamfromLincoln - Lincoln, United States

My bike chain broke. I arrived at The Bike Rack 30 minutes before closing on a Saturday evening. The Technician repaired my bike on the spot. This isn’t the first time they’ve helped me with an issue. They’re always willing to help, treating you like the bike was their own. Amazing service department. Very helpful and knowledgeable employees. Great selection of bikes and accessories. We’re so blessed to have a store like The Bike Rack!!

My husband and I camped here for 2 nights on a Wednesday and Thursday and were so pleasantly surprised that there was no one else camping during the week! It is kind of a remote location but a real gem and great value for riverside camping. The site was beautiful with big shady trees so we didn't suffer from the heat too much, and when we did we just took a dip in the water! The owner was friendly and helpful in getting us set up for our canoe trip. The river was also quiet on a weekday and we only saw two other groups on our 5 hour trip, so we got the quiet and peaceful experience that we were hoping for. If we ever pass through Nebraska again we would definitely return!
