    This park has alot to offer - the nature center was not open when we were there. Instead, we took a long walk - there are several well marked paths for walking or biking. Worth a visit.

    Lots of great, accessible hiking for the whole family. Also very friendly towards anyone with mobility issues. Lots of opportunity to see large wild animals in a semi-free roaming habitat. Pro-tip...

    Love going to the Nature Center. Especially with kids. It is such a great place to show and help explain the Nebraskan wildlife and creatures we have here. It allows them to explore and there are fun trails to walk and let them get energy out while they learn lol.
