The most underappreciated quality about Lincoln is the bike trails. The town itself is very flat and without high-altitude, so it makes cycling a breeze! The slow drivers don't present a huge hazard, if you decide to ride the streets. But I recommend you grab your camera, pack a lunch, and hit the trails. It's a nice day's journey just riding around.

Also, I would recommend checking out Sunken Gardens, the Folsom Children's Zoo, going to a Lincoln Saltdogs baseball game, take in a performance at the Lied Center (www.unl.edu/lied) Also, take a tour of the Nebraska state capitol building. Kids would really enjoy the Lincoln Children's museum
---I'll be adding to this--- Leave a Comment Directions: Memorial Stadium is located on the University of Nebraska campus on North 10th Street. Haymarket Park (Saltdogs baseball) is located on the other side of 9th Street. Sunken Gardens & the zoo are locat

Lincoln is home to the National Roller Skating Museum which is kind of neat. Roller Skating Nationals happen in Lincoln at Pershing Auditorium every year.
I REALLY enjoy seeing all the fossils and recreated mammoths at Morrill Hall...They really did a neat job on that building. Oh, and it has a planetarium too...the show I went to recently was a little fuzzy, but it was still cool.
I love the two biggest parks in town and their trails: Pioneers and Wilderness. Pioneers has the nature center and buffalo and Wilderness is the more...rugged of the two.
The Germans from Russia museum is nice, but I think better when the tour is guided.
The capital gives free tours and on certain days you can tour the Governor's mansion as well.
The sunken gardens are gorgeous and they are redoing the rose garden outside the children's zoo.
The Hyde Observatory is a neat free thing to do at night...you can go and watch the stars.
One thing I haven't gotten to yet, but I want to check out is Speedway motors which has a really extensive historical car collection and oddly enough, a very extensive antique lunchbox collection.
OH YES, and the quilt museum opens this spring. The building looks neat, I can't wait to see the inside.
The Sheldon is okay, but last time I went, there wasn't much in my taste there...if you like extremely modern art (the white paint on white canvas or a piece of bread glued to paper) you would really enjoy it.
A fun little tidbit...if you drive (or bike) around Lincoln, there are bike sculptures spread out all over.
I love the bike trails and by 2009 there will be the new addition of a biking bridge over 27th Street between Y and Vine.
I know of two dog runs in Lincoln, if you have pets and my dogs LOVE to take walks around Holmes lake.
For fun cuisine...there are always new restaurants opening up in the downtown and Haymarket areas. :) Address: All throughout Lincoln

The Abendmusik Concert Series has several concerts per year at First-Plymouth Congregational Church.
It's a wonderful Art Deco style building, with great acoustics.
The concerts include choral/orchestra, organ, and a variety of other types.
Ticket prices are moderate.
The concert schedule is on the web at http://www.abendmusik.org Leave a Comment Address: 20th and D StreetsDirections: Located close to the State Capitol, the Downtown area, and the University of Nebraska/Lincoln Campus.Website: www.abendmusik.org

The natural history museum in Nebraska is world-renowned and well worth the parking hassle. Attached is a wonderful Planetarium, and when you're out at night, you can actually see the stars you learned about here!
Morrill Hall has many types of natural history remains that you don't find anywhere else. They are set in natural-like murals that enhance your understanding of Nebraska, time, and all living and extinct things. Many are recreated. It is a great place to take kids. Leave a Comment Address: 14th and VineDirections: UNL campus but park off campus! I suggest one of the downtown garages. Walk on campus, it is beautiful.
