5 Best Spring Destinations in Nebraska
After a long season of cold, it’s time to experience the warm weather and the best spring destinations in Nebraska.
If you don’t know where to start, here are five of our favorite destinations and activities throughout the state to explore in the spring months. From hitting the green for 18 holes of beautiful weather to witnessing wild sunflowers and apple blossoms bloom, Nebraska really comes to life this time of year.
Platte River Valley
The sandhill cranes recognize how special Nebraska is during their journey and so should you. Flock to the Platte River Valley to experience the migration of nearly a million sandhill cranes during the month of March and find out what keeps them and us coming back year after year.
Sunken Gardens
An everchanging floral landscape, Sunken Gardens is a former neighborhood dumpsite now transformed into an iconic Lincoln destination. Each year the garden features a new floral scheme designed by volunteer garden artists with over 30,000 different blooms. Visit in the spring to be one of the first to experience the new blooms of the year.
Apple Blossoms – Nebraska City
Although Nebraska City may be known for its fall activities, it is equally amazing in the spring. Check out the blooming apple blossoms at orchards such as Kimmel Orchard & Vineyard and Arbor Day Farm, as well as the accompanying events such as the Apple Blossom Ball and more!
Fort Robinson State Park
Soak up the sun and the new spring weather with a hike at Fort Robinson or any of the state parks across Nebraska! Hiking is one of the best ways to enjoy the weather, see the new blooms and explore the beautiful landscapes of Nebraska.
Golfing
What better way to take advantage of the nice weather than by hitting the golf course? Nebraska has great golfing opportunities for all, from the pros to those with mini-golf preferences.
