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.

We travel by RV and Harvest Host are businesses and attractions offering RV'rs free overnight parking. This was a really great stop. First the grounds are very nice and welcoming. The tasting room has a large open patio looking at the vines. PALE ALE for beer and Mac's Lantern Semi dry Rose were our favorites. Nicely done snacks accompanied tasting. They are doing docial distancing precautions well. The wines came across very well with distinct flavor but not overdone. Well nuanced. Close to what I would expect in Sonoma. Unfortunately out of some reds which are more of what I prefer. The beers also ranked up there and we took home a growler of IPA (husband's a big IPA connoiseur and it passed his analysis... no small feat!) Kudos to staff who are adjusting well to new health precautions.

Spent the evening there just relaxing and enjoying good company, good wine, in a beautiful restored old building. Found a couple wines that vary significantly from those we find father West in Nebraska which was fun. Really enjoyed our time on their rooftop patio and plan to come back this fall.

My boyfriend came to Nebraska for a little weekend getaway. We decided to give this a try on Saturday when they advertised a band. Bring your own lawn chair and plan to stay a few hours. The weather was perfect! We bought a bottle of wine and tried the wine slushies! We wish we lived closer because we would come back at least once a month if so!
