NEBRASKA - Last minute travel specials to Lincoln
and Omaha.
Lincoln - Seemingly just a sleepy Midwestern city,
Lincoln is actually a bustling city with arts and culture
to rival many other destinations. Lincoln is proud of its
pioneer heritage, and its many museums and children's museums
focus on that heritage. There is a lot to do in Lincoln, and
its sleepy reputation is changing into a more accurate reputation
as a beautiful and active state capital.
Lincoln's state museums include history and feature exhibits
meant for kids and families. A special children's museum and
zoo are just some of the activities earmarked for kids. Adults
will enjoy the governor's mansion and the Great Plain's Art
Collection. Lincoln's cultural borders have expanded with
museums dedicated to German and Asian culture and immigration.
Both children and adults will enjoy the unique National Museum
of Roller Skating, which focuses on this wonderful invention
from 1819 to the present.
The Historic Haymarket also hearkens back to Lincoln's pioneer
days. Its unique galleries, shops, and restaurants are a great
part of Lincoln life. The State Capitol building is incredibly
ornate and offers wonderful lessons on history and culture
of the plains.
Visitors to Lincoln will be pleasantly surprised by the variety
and extent of the cultural offerings. Children will love the
large number of kids activities and museums the city has developed.
Lincoln may have a small town feel, but it is certainly an
up and coming city in the heartland of America .
