Top Nebraska Attraction Tickets

was getting bored driving on I-80, so I pulled over here to stretch my legs and check it out. Turned out to be super interesting! It actually goes into great detail about the 19th-century wagon trails, followed by the railroad construction, and then the building of the Lincoln Highway. Worth going.

Great early overview of early America till today.

Family was passing through the area, so we decided to check out the Archway Monument before driving under it. Fairly easy to exit I-80 and drive over to the monument/museum. Plenty of parking available as well.Staff greeted us as soon as we entered the building. Both staff members were friendly, personable, and very helpful with directing us on where everything could be found. Tour through the museum area is done via an electronic device that connects audio clips with different sections/exhibits. Place was moderately busy at the time of our arrival, but we were able to move along at our own pace and could replay audio clips if needed.Museum has a nice assortment of details from over the years; ranging from days of settlers moving through to more modern travelers. Exhibits were well made and maintained. Prices were reasonable for a 1+ hour experience.

Excellent stop cool museum goes over the road never seen anything like it. Great gift store- even as squishy's for the kids. Feed the fish they're giant.

Nice diversion and stop off the highway.

The exhibits were well done and informative, took over an hour, limited food and drink, looks like a covered bridge over the highway

spouse loved this exhibit. lots of information presented. i found that the audio overlapped too much with the written text, but she didn't mind. On a hot day in March, some areas were very cold - jacket needed.

Remarkable museum in Kearney, Nebraska. Displays cover the pioneer migration and then the 20th Century development of the Lincoln Highway across the U.S. All exhibits are very well done.

Driven under this several times over the years. Stopped in today and thoroughly enjoyed our 1.5 hours there. Great exhibits and audio tour.

Have passed thru/under many times. Finally stopped & we're so glad we did!Positives: Everything! Excellent/beautiful grounds. Trails to walk. Ample parking for all vehicles. Clean indoor facilities. Gift shop, lovely & the historical information extremely excellently done & moving! We took the self-guided audio tour (which is affordable & also offers discounts to veterans, seniors...) The way senses, (sounds, visuals, audio with excellent narrations) are incorporated in the settling of the West from beginning to more modern times is exceptional!!! Makes me grateful for all of those who've gone before us, such courage & fortitude!Negatives: Absolutely, none!!!

Using the headset during the tour was awesome. Seeing the traffic as it passed under the Arch was amazing. Would recommend it

Great stop along I-80. We enjoyed the self-guided tour including scenic dioramas of the different people and trails that passed through Nebraska. The displays were all well done. Make the time to stop if you are traveling on I-80.

The 2 people who helped us were the nicest people I have ever came in contact with. So sweet. So helpful. Made the experience great!

I’ve wanted to visit the Great Platte River Road Archway Monument ever since seeing it in *About Schmidt*. Passing under it once while traveling with my dog, I knew I had to come back—and it didn’t disappoint!This is no tourist trap—it’s a thoughtfully designed museum that tells the story of westward expansion, from pioneers on the Oregon Trail to travelers on the Lincoln Highway and today’s Interstate 80. The exhibits truly capture the hardships of early journeys and how much easier travel is now.I was surprised by how large the museum is—three stories tall! From the interstate, you can’t fully appreciate its size. The audio tour was fun and engaging, and even my teen son enjoyed exploring the exhibits.This is a unique and fascinating stop that I highly recommend. Don’t just drive under it—stop and experience it! You won’t regret it.

While on a senior citizen's bus trip, we made a stop at the Greate Platte River Road Archway which is located over Interstate 80. I had never heard of this museum and didn't know what to expect. The grounds are very nice and well kept. There is some outdoor seating and picnic tables available. The museum itself costs $15 ($13 for seniors). You are given a device to listen to information about the displays you are seeing. Therefore, you can look through the museum at your own pace.We were told about the migration west and the various hardships along the trail. One of these trails eventually morphed into the Lincoln Highway, then eventually into Interstate 80. While going through the museum, you can see the vehicles on I-80 traveling under the museum.There is a souvenir shop and restrooms on the lower level. The souvenir shop offers many different items for both kids and adults. This museum is a good way to spend some time and take a break from driving.

Goes into more detail about different areas. I really liked how it was set up. Starting from the pioneer days to current. It felt like I was in it, it's so amazing. Definitely worth going.
