Had a great day at the farm. The lied Lodge is very nice. The have a barn that is used for weddings. The Morton house is beautiful. Full of history. They also have a nice little food shop next to the wine bar and the was pretty good. I give it a B+. There are Apple orchards also.

Our primary motive in visiting Arbor Day Farm was the Discovery Ride. Sadly, when we arrived to buy tickets, the cashier said it wasn't running except on weekends. That would have been good information to share on their website! But no; I checked again and there was no mention when the Ride was not available. Good thing this was not our only planned stop in Nebraska City. I did enjoy walking Doug's Trail -- an easy walk along a peaceful, mostly shaded route. The Historic Barns were cool. Overall, the site seemed to be clean and well-maintained.

Took a lovely albeit hot day trip to Arbor Day Farm on Tuesday with the first stop being the Apple House Market. 2 wine flights and a hard cider flight were treat at $10 each plus a free glass with the wine flights. Tried the peach, cherry, honeycrisp, apple pie, rose and edelweiss and all were delicious, although the sweet and light peach was the winner on a hot day. Spiced apple, cherry, sangria and joy harvest ciders were wonderful also. Spiced apple was our favorite of those. Bonus, you can get your drinks/bottle of wine/growler of hard cider and take with while you explore the whole farm including the tree adventure. Grabbed a bite from Porters BBQ and I have to say it was some of the best around. Pulled pork sandwich came with choice of chips and we added on the mac n cheese and baked beans. The pork was smoked just right and came on a delightful buttery bun that really pulled the sandwich together. 3 sauce choices, original, Carolina and a spicy. The original was good but the spicy was top pick. Just enough heat without killing the taste buds. Mac n cheese was seasoned well and cheesy with a good cheese pull on that first fork full. The baked beans stole the show for us. A smoky chili heavy sauce that was soupier than most places with beans and plenty of huge burnt ends to fill you up. A big bowl of those with cheese and diced onions in the fall could rival most bowls of chili anywhere else. My partner liked them better than Q39's beans if that means anything. Finished the trip with a visit to the Tree Adventure $14 for adults, $12 for kids 3 -12. Kids and adults alike can have plenty of fun exploring the grounds with things to climb on, slide down and be creative. The tree house village was a blast! Although I suggest you keep your hands free cause some of those walkways between the houses are no joke! We had the wondernet in the center to ourselves and bounced and laid back to enjoy the view. There is a section that is wheelchair accessible also. Only about an hour away from most of the metro and a wonderful get away from the hustle bustle.

The Tree Adventure walk was pretty cool, definitely geared toward kids, it was still interesting for my friend and I. Their apple cider they sell inside was delicious! I’d love to come back in the fall and get it fresh. We also toured the mansion on the hill which was interesting.

Ok. Absolutely loved the “All’s Hallow Eve”. They spared no expense and it shows! Our family went and it was so fun and amazing. We spent 2+ hours there and definitely want to go back! Thank you for all of the hard work and effort. It’s only going to get better and better!!!

This was so much fun! We are just in town for a short visit and it was worth it just to stop at this farm. The trails are neat and well kept, tons of shade so even though it was upset 90's when we visited we still had plenty of reprievefrom the sun. My kiddos ages 3 & 5 loved trying to guess what animal left the tracks in the cement path, as well as all the wonderful fun play equipment along the way. The loved the little zipline, giant spider web, and of course the giant tree house and all of its rope bridges. Definitely stop here if you're passing through!

Had a wonderful time doing the couples night wine tasting! The ladies hosting were fantastic! All their suggestions for the wines were on point! We loved them so much we had to go down to the store and grab some bottles to go! I highly recommend doing this if you’re a couple wanting a calm evening away from the hustle and bustle of a normal date night.

Beautiful, lush state park with great botanical displays. Bloom Fest is amazing.

This place is always a great stop to enjoy nature and learn local history. The abundance of trees makes the park beautiful! Recommended!!!

A nice historical place. We walked around the mansion, entered the stables, roamed around the trees. The place is pretty big. We could learn so much about Morton family.

It's absolutely Beautiful there. Nice quiet friendly people too.

We have gone to the applejack festival every year for over 30 years!! We love it...so many memories!

Must visit. Somedays when I have time I drive all the way from Lincoln just to relax and experience this beautiful park. During the fall, it is quite possibly my favorite place in Nebraska....but don't worry, its beautiful all year round. If you're a tree fan, this is the holy grail of destinations. If you're on I-29, definitely make a quick detour here!

This incredible home-turned museum was once owned by the Morton family who not only started a salt empire, but also created the holiday of Arbor Day! It's stunningly beautiful. The self-guided tour takes about 30 minutes. Also make sure to spend some time wandering the grounds to see all the pretty trees.

This a great experience to visit! It's definitely worth your time, even if you just walk around the grounds! This fort is still under construction, & looks great! I can't wait to return in September!

This was very clean and very well cared for. Bathrooms aren't large like a typical rest stop but they are clean and inside. The center closes at 6:00 and it's closed on Sundays, so after hours not something that won't be available restrooms. There is a well maintained and groomed outside area with a lot of outdoor seating. If you were traveling good looking for a spot to picnic it would be great. The interpreter center takes admission, but it has a lot of information and a lot of recreated parts of the Lewis and Clark expedition.

This is a very interesting and interactive museum with varied displays sure to please all age levels. My wife and I both enjoyed looking at the exhibits, watching the instructional film, and trying the hands-on activities.

A beautiful center and impressive building dedicated to educating about the Lewis and Clark expedition and local indigenous cultures. There's a replica of their keelboat that's fun to board, a native Mound Lodge, a fort and a number of nature trails that can keep you busy. It's in a convenient location on the Missouri River, definitely worth trip.

We visited the Fort bring built. Amazing information. The Keelboat was shocking how small it actually was but so realistic to be in and feel the closeness of it.

It really was interesting seeing this site and reading about this part of history. The replica ship was cool, walking on it and just trying to get a feel for the history. Easy to find, plenty of parking, clean restrooms and the grounds are well maintained.

Planned stop on our travels so my nephews could explore. They liked going from exhibit to exhibit to get their card punched. There were a lot of taxidermied animals. There was a lovely gift shop. The boat out front was neat. They had walking paths outside one of which led to a couple of wooden structures. They were all really neat.

kimmel is one of my favorite places! the cider and apple donuts are genuinely unrivaled. and there are so many fun and whimsical things to see and do! the u-pick is a classic but i also love the pollinator garden, market, and playground:) i come back every year at least once!

Drove out from Lincoln today and picked up some apple cider, a caramel apple and an apple slushy. The slushy was delicious! We intended to get some apples but most (except the red delicious) looked on the small side. Not anyone's fault; just a weird year. We could hardly cut/chew the caramel apple. Caramel had gotten VERY hard. It tasted good. Too bad the caramel was so hard.

We found this orchard through Harvest Host and we are very happy we visited. The staff were great as was the store. We really enjoyed their wine tasting and shopping in the store. They had a large variety of items to purchase. The grounds were amazing and educational. If in the area, we would definitely visit again.

Apple jack festival 2025! Rainy start (even the bumblebee had his morning shower) turned out to be a great Apple picking day!

Excellent place for a family outing. Everything was simple to figure out, everyone was kind, friendly and helpful. Great place for little kids with the Hay rack ride, the playground and the store. The apples were perfect and all the offerings at the store were interesting. 10/10 am already planning our next trip

We went here yesterday and it’s a great, beautiful orchard. The kids enjoyed the playgrounds and the “scavenger hunt” hidden within the playground. We all enjoyed the indoor area and picking out treats to take home. It has good photo opportunities for families and is a pleasant place to be!

This place is a really fun place to go. The ambiance is that of an early 1900s farmhouse feel. The staff are knowledgeable on their products and are friendly people. They sell a wide variety of products: apples, jams, pies, ciders, their own wines, honey, short order foods, and other baked goods. The prices are reasonable as well, which is a good thing. They also support the military and give the military a discount. They have an educational center which hosts various classes from honey production to apple growing and everything in between. Kimmel Orchards also has a child play area and different outdoor activities year-round. Check with scheduling for these activities.

Disappointing to come for a tour and they are only open Thursday thru Sunday noon to 5pm. We'll definitely come back, we are both very interested in the history!

Neat experience learning about the underground railroad. Note this is a Self guided tour. Very affordable, our family of four paid 8.00. They also have a little village you can tour that includes a railroad station, school and church that they moved to the location

Self guided tour of the place. Price is very reasonable. Museum building is slightly Rin down, the history behind the cabin/tunel is a bit confusing as to wether it's the real cave/tunnel or not. Other than that we enjoyed it and learned lots.

Great to learn about our history. Sad that it seems run down. A good place to visit and donate your money to so that the struggles of the past are not forgotten.

Kids and adults enjoyed reading about the history of the underground railroad. The cabin and cave are a great visual demonstration of the conditions of the time period.

Neat historical cabin and grounds. Worth a stop.

Rustic collection of industrial tools and machines used in the original location.

Such a beautiful museum. The artifacts and history so wonderfully presented and preserved. A must visit while in the area.

Isaiah Yott is the asst director. He loves his job there and takes it seriously. We stopped by Sunday afternoon and spent an hour there. Great videos and the factory looks like it did when they stopped in the 90s. Very educational tweens and below. I'm an engineer and enjoyed looking at the old manufacturing and machine equipment.

1st time visiting. Our guide was very welcoming, very knowledgeable and passionate about the history of the museum. We learned alot of neat things. Very interesting. Would recommend a visit.

I didn't think this would be interesting, but after a personal guided tour through a factory left as through locked in time....wow! For me, a person who lived through the the windmill era....it was great

Great little stop in Nebraska City seeing and old Windmill factory. Running until 1991

Amazing place! Exceptional self-guided tour tech available, supplemented and brought to life in the stories told by Dave. There was so much to see and learn about windmills, history, politics, family, community, technology, mechanics, business, commerce, and the creation of a museum. It’s a time capsule preserved with great care; and I’ll never look at windmills the same way again! Excellent value for the admission, too.
