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 to explore in the spring months.

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.
