Nebraska: One-Of-A-Kind Adventure
VISIT NEBRASKA.
Not many places are like Nebraska. And it’s probably not the first destination that comes to mind. But those who venture across our plains will be the first to tell you Nebraska is a one-of-a-kind destination filled with unexpected adventures and hidden gems.
From the awe-striking rocky landscapes and natural monuments out west to the bustling cities and powerful Missouri riverfront back east, with a whole lot of heritage, culture and friendly faces in between, Nebraska is your playground.
Follow in the footsteps of the pioneers, Native Americans, cowboys and explorers who charted these lands as you venture along trails through Nebraska’s stunning landscapes.
Kayak, canoe, tube or tank nearly 80,000 miles of scenic rivers. See nearly a million sandhill cranes stop over during the annual spring migration. Sample the bounty of our agriculture, from local wines and craft beer to fresh produce, dairy products and Prime Nebraska beef. Or experience ranch life firsthand by booking your very own ranch-cation.
Whether you’re outdoorsy, a music fan, a history buff or an arts lover, we’ve got an experience for you.
That goes for our events, too. Celebrate our pioneer and cowboy past with events like Sidney Gold Rush Days (June), NEBRASKAland Days (June) and Oregon Trail Days (July). Book your trip around a holiday event, from Cinco De Mayo (May) and the annual Arbor Day Celebration (April) to Hastings Pride (June) and HallowFest (October). We’ve even got towns devoted to St. Patrick’s Day, Fourth of July and Christmas. Plus, you’ll find only-in-Nebraska experiences, like Kool-Aid Days (August), Midwest Pirate Festival (August), Junk Jaunt (September) and the Great American Comedy Festival (June). Not to mention Nebraska staples: the College World Series (June), Nebraska’s Big Rodeo (July), the Nebraska State Fair (August) and Huskers Football Saturdays throughout the fall.

In spring, nearly 1 million sandhill cranes stop in Nebraska along their migratory path. View nature’s spectacle up close on a sanctuary or tour.
From hustle and bustle to thistles and bird whistles, every one of the state’s unique regions offers amazing experiences.
There are seven distinct regions in Nebraska and seven days in a week. Coincidence? Probably. But you’ll find plenty to do, and lots of ways to fill your time.
Home to nightlife, the fast lane, the In Crowd and more active culture than a barrel of yogurt.
Quaint, beautiful, and oh, so historic. Favored by explorers since Lewis & Clark got things started.
Caves, history, government, Huskers football, and a gigantic porch swing—what more could you want?
Gently flowing rivers, world-class golf, a town full of plywood people, and sandhills. (Duh.)
A crane migration and tons of trails make this the home of wandering. If wandering ever stayed home.
Totally amazing, from bluffs to buffaloes to the fact that the Oregon Trail is somehow in Nebraska.
From cowboy hats to Boot Hill, the Wild West is very much alive. Except for the Boot Hill thing.
Live like a 19th-century pioneer (minus the hardships) by staying and pitching in, if it suits you, on a traditional Nebraska homestead.
