From trails, to tree tops, exploring the lodge, the hazelnut fields, and even the water park There is so much to do and see, bonus: smell. It's the perfect spot to celebrate an occassion, spend the day with the family, or just get away from the city. This is my happy place for sure!

Our primary motive in visiting Arbor Day Farm was the Discovery Ride. Sadly, when we arrived to buy…read moretickets, 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 -- and easy walk along a peaceful, mostly shaded route. The Historic Barns were cool. Overall, the site seemed to be clean and well-maintained.

Soo good. Must have along with either turnovers or the cinnamon apple donuts. It is a family owned orchard so they don't run super staffed all the time like a commercial business. Often one or two friendly faces unless its peak season. Restrooms always clean since they are right off the highway. They have a small seating section if needed or while doing a wine flight. I haven't been out in the orchard in some years but they have a wonderful area set up for kids. Apple picking wagons when it's time.

Union Orchard south of Omaha is relatively close to where we live. Apple season is about over, but…read morethey were very accommodating by driving us to a specific type of tree to pick a bag of apples. They have King David apples, which are Bookguy's favorite variety. But the apples ripened early and were already picked. Normally the orchard has hayracks pulled by tractors on weekends and that's how they take customers to various trees. We were there on a weekday so a guy drove us in a pickup. We were able to find enough good apples still on the tree to fill a bag. It was tempting to pick apples that looked okay off the ground, but we were advised not to since wild animals in the area forage the ground drops. The shop there has a lot of other good things to eat: jellies, jars of canned veggies, apple cider, popcorn, baking mixes, and cookies, to name a few. You can also order pies for the holidays. The wine tasting room features Nebraska wines. There's outdoor seating too. Even late in the season there's plenty of reasons to visit Union Orchard.

All the staff working the day we came were so kind and patient with us since it was our first time. It was really cool because everyone seemed to know each other so it had a hometown friendly feel. The ice cream was amazing!!! I got a banana royale and my son had a brownie sundae! We were happily surprised by the size because they were so big! Food is served here as well but we just came in for the ice cream. Let me tell you, they serve a large cone here and it is MASSIVE! I wish I would have gotten a photo of that! I mean think about a corn dog you get at the fair, that is the size of this ice cream cone! So cool and fun. We will definitely be stopping in again soon!

I got the 4 meet plate, came with pulled pork, beef brisket, sausage and chicken. We paid $60 and threw away over half of it. If you've never eaten Oklahoma or Texas BBQ, then you might think it's OK but if you have, you're gonna realize it was horrible. The sides were OK. Their baked beans were good. The mac & cheese was good. The coleslaw was OK. At most the food get a two star because you could still eat it at least. But I will definitely never eat there again.

First, we had the opportunity to meet the owners, and they were absolutely amazing--friendly, welcoming, and genuinely passionate about what they do. The restaurant itself is located inside a beautifully restored historic train depot, which gives it so much character and charm. I ordered the Philly cheesesteak, and it was outstanding. Every bite was packed with flavor. I paired it with a strawberry lemonade, which was just as delicious. Before we hit the road, she even made sure my cup was topped off, which was such a thoughtful touch. We also enjoyed the sweet potato fries, salad, and homemade cucumber salad. Everything tasted fresh, homemade, and made with care. And before leaving, I grabbed a cinnamon roll for later--and wow, it was HUGE! You can tell this place is built around family, good food, and making people feel at home. If you're passing through Nebraska City, do yourself a favor and stop in. Come hungry--you definitely won't leave that way!

The sweet potato fries were some of the best any of us have ever had. Top it off with a strawberry lemonade that was massive and you have yourself a very affordable place to go for a nice meal!

The owner was serving the tastings and was a very friendly man. The wines were also very good but I really liked the Hard Apple Cider which you could get as one of the tastings.

I'm sure it would be great if they had live music once a weekend for people to sit out and enjoy. Definitely stop in.
