With Valentine’s Day approaching quickly, it’s time (or maybe a little past the time) to plan out your special activities. These fun Valentine’s Day activities in Nebraska are a step beyond the usual roses, dinner, and a movie – they highlight some of the greatest things about our state.
Walk through an art gallery, admiring the beauty on the walls and the beauty beside you. Pictured is Carnegie Arts Center in Alliance.
The Sunken Gardens in Lincoln are still beautiful, even in the winter. The shrubs, statuary, and hardscaping take on a lovely new look when they're blanketed in snow. Public parks and community gardens in any town are the perfect romantic spots...and there won't be big crowds in the cold weather.
