Named after Abraham Lincoln, this state capital is a great place for children, history buffs and outdoor enthusiasts. Soak in the panoramic view of the city from the observation tower of the 400-foot high capitol building, whose white stone Art Deco spire can be seen from miles around. Then take a tour of the building and its grounds, where you'll find a Lincoln monument created by the same artist who sculpted the famous Lincoln statue in Washington, D.C. While you're on a history roll, visit the Governor's Mansion, whose Georgian Colonial exterior belies the varied architectural styles inside, and be sure to see the collection of dolls representing the state's first ladies dressed in their inaugural gowns. Kids will love the Folsom Children's Zoo & Botanical Gardens, where they can circle the zoo in a miniature train and see over 300 animals living among spectacular gardens. For some outdoor fun, head to one of the city's beautiful parks, the largest of which is Wilderness Park, whose hiking, biking and equestrian trails will keep you on the move for hours.

Experience the thrill of Axe Throwing at Tomahawks, located in the heart of Lincoln's entertainment district #TOMAHAWKS
Such a fun place to go! Bode, our coach, was informative, had a high priority on our safety and I could see he really enjoyed his job. Highly recommend to anyone who is even slightly interested. What a cool business and place to go. I mean come on, you get to throw axes, how cool is that!?

Escape Lincoln is a local escape game establishment located in the downtown Historic Haymarket of Lincoln, Nebraska. Escape Lincoln is a real-life adventure game in which participants are locked in a room, use elements around them solve puzzles, find clues, or piece together answers that help them "escape" within a set amount of time.
We went to Escape Lincoln with a mixture of adults and elementary aged kids as well as two under two year olds. They were very accommodating for our private booking and welcomed that we were bringing little kids with us. All communication was smooth and booking was easy. We found the Alice in Wonderland room to be the perfect challenge for our group and would love to go back and do the Sherlock Holmes one. Definitely recommend if you’re looking for something to do as a group outing!
