Review & FAQ:

Grand Island boasts a wide range of activities and attractions as well as seasonal events throughout the year. Visitors can enjoy everything from splashing around at the Island Oasis Water Park to looking into the past at the Stuhr Museum of the Prairie Pioneer.

In the spring, visitors can get a one-of-a-kind experience when more than 80% of the world’s population of sandhill cranes gather on the Platte River, bringing millions of migrating geese and ducks with them. Among other top attractions are two art galleries, the Grand Theatre downtown, Fonner Park, Heartland Public Shooting Park, and Fred’s Flying Circus.
