There’s a reason Buffalo Bill made North Platte his home.

He found the room to roam, explore, and have fun. Tanking on the Platte River, riding singletrack at Potter’s Pasture, and touring the Golden Spike Tower at Bailey Yard are just a few of the activities and attractions you’ll find out here.

That’s why North Platte gets Buffalo Bill’s Buffalo of Approval.

DEAR TRAVELERS,

On behalf of all Nebraskans, it is my privilege to invite you into the great adventure of exploring our state.

Some people have never even given a thought to visiting Nebraska. Indeed, visiting Nebraska may not be for everyone, but for those “not everyones” willing to discover the state’s treasures, there is no greater adventure.

Nebraska is a rewarding place to experience, especially to those who take the time to venture out onto the road (and sometimes off of it) to discover all the hidden gems we have to offer. That holds true in each corner of the state.

Pack up for a road trip to take in historic attractions like Ogallala’s Petrified Wood Gallery or family fun at Waterloo’s Two Rivers State Recreation Area and Grand Island’s Island Oasis Waterpark. Check out Nebraska’s thriving agritourism scene with homegrown breweries like Bootleg Brewers in Taylor or Nebraska Brewing Company in La Vista. Along the way, lovers of the outdoors can’t miss the state’s natural beauty with destinations like Toadstool Geologic Park, Fontenelle Forest near Omaha and the Niobrara National Scenic River.

To fuel up for your travels, tour the countless local, farm-fresh food options like Omaha’s Block 16 and small-town favorites like Norfolk’s Black Cow Fat Pig that make up a diverse culinary scene.

No matter which path you choose, we can’t wait for you to encounter all that makes Nebraska special, both for the friendly, welcoming people who live here and for those independent-minded travelers who want to discover the journey for themselves.

Sincerely,

John Ricks Executive Director, Nebraska Tourism Commission

NORTHEAST

Quaint towns dot the landscape and history runs deep, as if taking a cue from the Missouri River.

WHAT TO DO In Monroe, see bears, zebras and more at Horn T Zoo. In Genoa, learn about Native American history at Genoa U.S. Indian School Foundation Museum. In Neligh, tour Nebraska’s only mill with its original equipment intact at Neligh Mill State Historic Site. Get acquainted with Nebraska’s 1921 Poet Laureate, John G. Neihardt, at Neihardt State Historic Site in Bancroft.

WHERE TO STAY Looking for a homey stay? Book a night at Bakers B&B in Blair and unwind in one of three relaxing guest rooms. Check into the Historic Argo Hotel, a bed-and-breakfast, steakhouse and lounge in Crofton. In O’Neill, stay where travelers have been welcomed since 1913 — the Historic Golden Hotel.

WHERE TO EAT Sample soups and sandwiches using farmers market produce at Bistro on the Loup in Columbus. Reserve a table to taste how Dodge mixes country influences with city sophistication at Eat. If coffee’s in order, get your fix — plus homecooked specials — at Fill My Cup in Genoa. Inside Norfolk’s SandBar & Grill Restaurant, discover Divots Brewery and casual American fare.

WHERE TO DRINK Sample unique craft beer, like Abe’s honey porter, from Johnnie Byrd Brewing Co. in Wayne. Pair your dinner with house-made wines at Prairie Creek Vineyard & Winery in Central City. In the same Columbus building as local-favorite restaurant Dusters, pull up a seat at Gottberg Brew Pub for craft beverages such as Platte River Pale Ale. In Fort Calhoun, sample wines, beers and spirits at tasting room Too Far North. Stop by Glur’s Tavern in Columbus, the longest continuously running tavern west of the Missouri River.

SANDHILL CRANE MIGRATION

ROOTED PLANT CO

SOUTH CENTRAL

Follow the trails — this region is full of them. Just be sure to look up for the iconic Archway and in spring, the sandhill crane migration.

WHAT TO DO Take a scenic drive through Cozad along the Barn Quilts Trail. With splashgrounds, boat rentals and fishing piers, Yanney Heritage Park in Kearney offers outdoor fun for all ages. In Red Cloud, take the “Country Tour” from the National Willa Cather Center. You’ll also see Cather’s childhood home and Pavelka Farmstead. Fonner Park in Grand Island hosts events yearround, but the big draw is thoroughbred racing from mid-February to early May. Plus, a brand-new casino is expected to open soon.

WHERE TO STAY Captain’s Lagoon features water slides and a kids’ pool at Holiday Inn Kearney Overnight in a charming early 20th-century mansion at Cambridge Bed & Breakfast in Cambridge. Stay in a room that belonged to Willa Cather or the rooms of her parents and siblings at the Cather Second Home Guest House.

WHERE TO EAT Dine at Joy’s Table in Kearney, where the menu features delicious pasta dishes and steaks. Go for a variety of specialty pizzas at The Flippin Sweet in Kearney. Cozad’s Bella Italia offers fettuccine alfredo, lasagna, manicotti and more Italian favorites. Stop by Shirley K’s in Cambridge, a favorite for coffee and sandwiches. Visit Tommy Gunz Bistro in Grand Island for brick oven pizza, burgers, black angus steaks, local beers and craft cocktails.

WHERE TO DRINK Grab a few pints in Grand Island’s Railside District at Prairie Pride Brewing Co. At Steeple Brewing Co. in Hastings, settle into an old church pew for fellowship with friends and craft beer. Sample creations such as the Prairie Peach pale wheat ale at Thunderhead Brewing in Kearney.

Explore at your own pace with kayak, canoe and tube rentals from Glidden Canoe Rental in Mullen and Brewers Canoers & Tubers in Valentine. Fish for rainbow trout at Keller Park State Recreation Area in Ainsworth. In Taylor, seek out “The Villagers,” lifesized paintings representing the townsfolk. Plan to grab breakfast or lunch at The Sweet Shoppe in St. Paul to see a collection of over 1,700 cookie jars. The Golden Husk in Ord features family movies, concerts, community theater and more.

WHERE TO STAY Stay at Comstock Premier Lodge in Sargent. Enjoy nearby golf, antiques shopping, river tanking and bison and elk viewing tours. Step into 1950s charm in Bassett at Bassett Lodge, known as the cattleman’s “home away from home” during its heyday.

WHERE TO EAT In Loup City? Don’t miss Loup City Diner’s all-American comfort food. In Bassett, let the Range Café feed you the way it has fed diners since mid-century cattlemen frequented the spot. If you’re craving pizza, try a variety of homemade pies at the Pizza Palace in Burwell.

WHERE TO DRINK At Double T Bar & Steakhouse in Halsey, order up a cold one with dinner as locals swap stories. See the vines and taste the wines at Niobrara Valley Vineyards in Nenzel. Pop into Kinkaider Brewing Co. in Broken Bow for beer on tap and a crave-able food menu.

NORTHWEST

It’s truly wild out here: Rugged bluffs rise from the land, turning wide-open spaces into shared national treasures.

NebraskaPassport.com/Stops

WHAT TO DO At Panorama Point and ThreeState Marker in Kimball, you can look out on Nebraska, Wyoming and Colorado. While in town, tour Monkey Ranch with Rocky Hollow Buffalo Company for close-up encounters with American bison. Shop wool yarns at the Brown Sheep Company Mill outlet shop near Mitchell. Relive the frontier days of the Old West at Dobby’s Frontier Town in Alliance. Climb the lighthouse steps for a panoramic view at Lake Minatare State Recreation Area in Minatare.

WHERE TO STAY Experience the foothills of the Pine Ridge when you stay at Our Heritage Guest Ranch. Overnight your horse or go birding at Sheepwagon Hideouts near Chadron. The Hideouts are located at RuJoDen Ranch, where you might glimpse any of 125 species of birds. Enjoy a homey stay at Grandma Lala’s B&B in Alliance.

WHERE TO EAT Sample family recipes and creative takes on traditional Mexican fare at Rosita’s Restaurant in Scottsbluff. Newberry’s in Alliance is serious about coffee. Head to Laura Lee’s Double L Country Store and Cafe near Harrisburg for irresistible home-cooking. Arrive early to Kimball Bakery and Merrycakes — these donuts and treats go fast.

WHERE TO DRINK Gather for a round of award-winning brews at Brewery 719 in Alliance. At Flyover Brewing Company in Scottsbluff, craft beers (made with Nebraska malt) pair well with wood-fired pizzas. Find the pick-me-up you need at Mark Ferrari Specialty Coffees in Oshkosh. All of the coffees in this shop are Nebraska-roasted.

sincerely thank the

Tourism Commission and its tourism industry partners for

for

Directions from Interstate 80: From I-80, take Exit 312 and go south on Highway 281 for approximately 16 miles. Turn left (east) at the intersection of 14th and Burlington.

Come for the Kool-Aid, discover so much more:

• Three floors of exhibits

• Super Screen Theatre with a 65-foot wide screen

• Dozens of animal species set in their natural habitats

• A firearms exhibit with rare pistols, military weapons, a Gatling Gun, and more

• Planetarium with live full dome and digital shows

And yes, Hastings is the home to that famous sweet drink. Our Kool-Aid exhibit tells the origin story of this iconic beverage with original packages, promotional materials, and vintage commercials. We even have one of the three original Kool-Aid Man costumes on display!
