A Kid’s Guide To 10 Things To Do In Nebraska

Every time my friends, Tim and Lisa Trudell, write a new book, I inevitably end up with a new list of things to do and see in Omaha (prime example: See the result of reading “100 Things To Do In Omaha Before You Die”). In April 2020, they published their third book, “100 Things To Do In Nebraska Before You Die.”

And yes, I made a list. However, interestingly enough, my son made one, too.

Disclosure: I received a complimentary copy of the book for this post. This post contains affiliate links.

My 10-year-old son is a big reader, and thankfully, has developed a love of travel. I found him reading this book one afternoon and I got an idea: What does a kid think are the must-do things in Nebraska? I’ll do my best to provide background on why he chose what he chose.

About the book

The title “100 Things To Do In Nebraska Before You Die” is a bit of an understatement. Many sections, like “Explore Nebraska’s top park at Mahoney State Park” includes a list of 10 other great parks to explore as well.

So, even for someone like me, who’s made a job out of exploring my home state of Nebraska, there’s something new to learn about in the book. There are even itineraries in the book, including one for families.

Basically, I’ve got some road trips to plan now.

If you want to pick up your own copy of the book, it’s available at major retailers like Amazon and Barnes & Noble.

But back to what my son thinks people ought to do if they visit Nebraska.

In 10 years, my son has explored more of Nebraska than I have in my first 30 years. He helped me compile this list based on his experiences and his opinion of what families would enjoy most about the state.
