Mary & Michael
Things To Do
Newman Center – St. Thomas Aquinas Church
Michael and I have spent many hours here, going to daily and Sunday mass, confession, and adoration. It is by far the most beautiful church in Lincoln and worth a visit! Located in downtown Lincoln, this would be an quick and easy spot to visit.
Nebraska State Capitol
I remember visiting the Nebraska State Capitol as a child and it is definitely a piece of architecture worth seeing, both inside and out!
Lincoln Children's Zoo
The Lincoln Children's Zoo has played a big part in my childhood. With its recent and large expansion, you and your kids will be sure to have a blast seeing the variety of animals and attractions!
Historic Haymarket
Michael and I have spent many date nights in downtown Lincoln's historic haymarket. There are lots of options for food and drinks and you'll be sure to have a fun time!
Sunken Gardens
This is the perfect time of year to take a relaxing stroll through the beautiful Sunken Gardens! You won't regret it!
James Arthur Vineyards
Set in the rolling hills of rural Nebraska only 20 minutes from Lincoln, James Arthur Vineyards would be the perfect place to spend a spring afternoon.
Holmes Lake Park
Whether you're 7 or 70, Holmes Lake is the perfect place if you're looking to get some exercise or relaxation in the great outdoors. Take a stroll around the beautiful lake, let your kids get rid of some energy on the big playground, or take some food and enjoy a picnic by the water! Note that this is on the SE side of Lincoln so it would be a further drive if you're staying downtown i.e., NW side.
Robber’s Cave Tours
Explore Lincoln's only underground attraction! Robber's Cave is older than the city and is now open to the public!
