Six nationally recognized attractions along with 25 recreational facilities will keep you as busy as you'd like to be. 

Good Housekeeping praised Stuhr Museum – a living history museum – as "one of the top 10 places to relive America's past." Forbes FYI named Grand Island the number one place in the world for bird watchers. The Nebraska Nature & Visitor Center lies just west of town. Three byways pass through Hall County.

Shop for name brands along Merchandise Mile, or meander through historic downtown's antique shops, art galleries and historic Grand Theater. Visit Kid's Kingdom for a train ride or Island Oasis for a water slide. One mother of three boys referred to Island Oasis as "the best water park between Des Moines and Denver."
