Things You Can Only Find In Nebraska

What are some of the best attractions in Nebraska?

Looking for more fun things you can only find in Nebraska? Here are some of our favorite NE attractions for your bucket list:

  • Chimney Rock. There are some pretty amazing natural wonders in Nebraska, but none quite compare to Chimney Rock. In the endless expanse of the Nebraska prairie, Chimney Rock appears suddenly and seemingly out of thin air. This natural monolith is not a mirage; it's a perfectly positioned sculpture created by Mother Nature herself. During the days of Westward expansion, Chimney Rock, as it came to be known, was used by pioneers as a marker along the Oregon Trail. Capped with a long, thin spire, the volcanic ash and brule clay formation soars 480 feet above the gentle Nother Platte River Valley, a place intrepid adventurers can -- and should -- explore today.
  • Arbor Day Farm. Did you know Nebraska is where Arbor Day began? It's true! And you can experience that legacy at Arbor Day Farm in Nebraska City. This 260-acre farm includes the 140-room Lied Lodge, Apple House Market, Arbor Lodge State Historical Park, and the one-of-a-kind canopy walk that might be the most marvelously unexpected attraction in Nebraska. The Tree House Trail is where the Tree Adventure begins; you'll pass by numerous immersive play areas on the way to the Treetop Village, and we highly recommend taking the time to explore them all. The canopy walk, meanwhile, is the only one of its kind in the entire country. It spans more than three acres and passes 11 unique treehouses along the way, each offering a different arboreal aspect. And since Arbor Day Farm is full of gorgeous trees, there's no shortage of sights at which to marvel.
