Cody Park is a very nice large recreational area with outdoor activities that includes a big fenced in zoo area and a historic carousel. The Cody Park Railroad Museum is one section of the larger park area. FYI I submitted a correction, don't use the address listed on trip advisor for Cody Park in your GPS, The current Tripadvisor address of North Hwy 83, North Platte, NE you won't get there. The correct address is the one listed for Cody Park Railroad Museum, 1402 N Jeffers St, North Platte, NE.

We’ve seen this place countless times on our drive to Iowa but he never wanted to stop. This time I was lucky and he stopped so I could wander around. The sculptures are lifelike and well carved. And even better, a likeness and snippet is provided of the sculptors at the base of the statues. I liked being able to read about both the subject and the person who made the sculptures. It was sad to run my fingers over the names printed on the bricks in the memorial. You can get a brick printed with a veteran’s name but I didn’t have time to investigate further as we were short on time. But I’m glad we stopped. It’s definitely a good stop to remember the cost of war and appreciate the many sacrifices made by our veterans.

Unique little place off the highway. It's like stepping back in time with some of their candy options! They have clothes, purses, backpacks, jewelry, jellies, etc. Worth the stop for a trip down memory lane!
