Winter is swiftly approaching and whether you're a fan of the cold or not, snow season is upon us.
While some states are warmer than others this time of year, it's never a bad idea to spend some time in what has grown to be considered one of the "best winter destinations" in the U.S.
Be it perfect temperatures (in states where sunshine trumps snow), fun ski resorts, stunning scenes, or winter activities for the whole family, something about this unique place lands it on top of the list of the best winter destinations in Nebraska.
According to a list compiled by Reader's Digest, the best winter destination in Nebraska is Omaha. This location was praised for its stunning winter views of the plains and wonderful museums.
Here's what Reader's Digest had to say about the best winter destination in the entire state:
"This pioneer city offers many fun and educational indoor activities for a cold winter on the plains. The Lauritzen Gardens are now a year-round destination thanks to the addition of the Marjorie K. Daugherty conservatory in 2014, which features 17,500 square feet of warm gardens under glass. Considered one of the best in the world, the Henry Doorly Zoo has seven acres of indoor exhibits including the Lied Rainforest, Kingdoms of the Night, Hubbard Gorilla Valley, Scott Aquarium, and Desert Dome. The zoo’s outdoor areas are open as well. Omaha boasts other wonderful museums such as the Durham Museum, Joslyn Art Museum, and outside the city, the Strategic Air Command and Aerospace Museum."
