If you live in or visit Kearney,Ne., you'll want to be sure to stop by Big Apple. While I was…read moregetting my Nebraska Passport stamped, I spoke at length with the guy behind the counter about the incredible array of possibilities here. He proudly said that there is literally something for everyone. Bowling includes regular, cosmic, duckpin, and bumper. For leagues besides bowling, there's darts and pool featured in the huge sports bar that can also be a wedding venue. There's so many game machines it's like walking through slot machines at a casino, but none are gambling. Laser tag, indoor go carts, out door go carts, and more. You get the idea. While I was there, someone was having a birthday party. I didn't check the pricing, but the food menu seems very reasonable. It's definitely family friendly entertainment.

We traveled from 9 hours away. The kids loved the go-karts and laser tag. I definitely feel like these are next level attractions! Staff - friendly, kind, and helped to end a sad day on a high note. Food - much of this place has expanded but the kitchen can get strained, especially when they are slammed by the Saturday night bowlers. Order early and often. Recommended improvement: A seating plan. It was winner take all seating and our group was growing as the night went on. The locals were miffed that a city slicker dared to ask them for their barely filled pizza table.

Great place to visit, especially if you are here during Sandhill Crane Migration…read more Lots of interesting and informative exhibits, nice gift shop, walking trails, etc. Parking Lot, building, restrooms and such are very accessible. The volunteers are extremely helpful and are obviously very devoted to the cranes, other birds, and the natural environment here. I spoke with Cyndi, warm and enthusiastic, who made my visit here even more special. There are blinds here that you can reserve and ideally can give you an excellent viewing opportunity at dawn and dusk to see the cranes. You have to make reservations for these a LONG time in advance, we hadn't done that so we went to a different viewing area for the dusk return-to-the-river. Our GPS took us on a really roundabout route - absurdly so, really. Which honestly was not a problem, as it routed us on rounds along the cornfields and that's where the cranes are during the day. But if you are in a hurry to get here you might want to see what route your GPS has planned for you.

Somewhere in Nebraska, the kids were getting antsy in the back seat, and we needed a place to stretch our legs and eat a little lunch anyway. A poor cell signal revealed we were relatively close to Rowe Sanctuary, and after a couple of wrong turns and the acceptance that things on roads out here are always farther than they look on maps, we found it. Evidently, this place is quite a zoo when the beautiful sand hill cranes migrate through here in early spring (March-April). Really no one here during our visit in July, but enough natural beauty in the restored Platte river habitat, framed by some promising cumulonimbus clouds (we love summer thunderstorms... we don't get much of that in SoCal.) We walked a bit on a trail towards a marshy looking area that was pretty dry considering, then found a shady spot on a bench to eat a picnic lunch. As a card carrying member of the Audubon society, I always appreciate seeing little places like this designed to protect our natural resources.

An amazing place! Steve one of the trainers for the axe throwing area, was a great help. He was…read morevery attentive and educating with his axe throwing technique.
