Tree Adventure — Attraction in Nebraska

Wow!! I did not expect to have as much fun as I did here. I think I had just as much fun as the kids did. THIS PLACE IS A MUST SEE! Great for families who love to get out and play. Gotta check out Tree Top Village! It feels straight out of a storybook.

We didn't allow ourselves enough time to do everything we wanted to do so I suggest that you get there early to see as much as possible. We only got to see inside the tree adventure area but we will be back for more. Although I didn't get to see everything I wanted, I still got to see a decent amount. This place is obviously well funded because there is so much attention to detail throughout the property. Everything from the layout, design, decor and even the fun is easy, natural and tastefully done. My only criticism is of the bathrooms as detailed below 👇

The grounds- well maintained, bountiful activities for kids of all age groups, plenty of trash cans (and benches) sprinkled throughout. Silly gnomes are hidden around to be found. Musical instruments in the play areas. Beautiful wood carvings can also be found in a variety of places along the trails and hidden amongst the bushes. I appreciate the time taken to place these art pieces all over for everyone to enjoy. Easy to push a stroller around most areas (wheelchair accessible). There is a trail map to help guide guests to desired areas but probably not needed for most people as it is a fairly simple layout. The parking lot is nice also, no issues there. This place boasts a restaurant onsite as well that I must check out next time.

The bathrooms- I only visited one of them but there are two in the tree adventure area. They weren't the cleanest when I used them at closing time. Not particularly gross, just doesn't feel clean inside. Kinda like a gas station bathroom (dark and gloomy with dirty toilets). It's in desperate need of a renovation in my opinion. Maybe I'm being overly critical but it feels like a missed opportunity with all the beautiful buildings and attention to detail. I guess I just expected them to be prettier. They did have those built-in step stools for the kids to wash their hands though and that was a nice touch.

The staff- There was a lovely woman working the counter who was very calm and polite. She explained everything to us we needed to know and even took the time to walk us out into the play area. It was a small gesture of kindness that was well received. She just made us feel welcomed... like a grandma who cheerfully invites you into her home. Sadly I didn't catch her name.

The gift shop- Cute yet sophisticated decor that has typical gift shop items. Things like clothing, cups, books, stuffed animals, candy, etc. They also sell their own cider made onsite.

The Hotel?! - Yeah that's right, they even have a hotel practically across the street for those wishing to make a weekend out of it. Sadly I didn't see it in person, but it's nice to know there is one.

Overall we're super satisfied with our visit. We all had fun and can't wait to go back....

Lots to do and climb on. Fun for all. Wear good tennis shoes this is a must. The tree Adventure is on the ground there's paths to hike on things to do on that path. The treetop Adventure is all of the Rope Bridges, rope trampolines and jump on, slides ect. Once you start the treetop Adventure ( rope bridge) there's no place to turn around you will have to finish. I did not know this and it was not explained to us it would have been nice to know so I'm putting it here. On the trampoline rope Bridge the kids can go left to go down the rope slide & the adults can go right and then take the stairs to meet them on the ground below& re take stairs to continue bridges.would have been nice to know because they didn't allow us to go back and the kids were disappointed they couldn't do the slide. Halfway through the Rope Bridges there is a little clubhouse platform area for handicapped people to come in and sit and watch everyone climb, strollers, or people who aren't agile can watch the kids a bit then exit and meet them where the Rope...

We went to Arbor Day Farm last July 8-9, 2023. Upon arrival, we did the Tree adventure with a visit in the Treetop village for about 2-3 hours. There's tons of things to do, for all ages. Afterwards, we checked in the Lied Lodge for a short rest and nice dinner at Timber's. We ordered the pork and beef steak which tasted great. The service was kinda slow but they had fully booked night so it's understandable. After supper, we did a Sunset and S'mores discovery ride back at the Arbor Day farm. Definitely a must try. I think they only offer them during summer though so better check their website first. And book ASAP cos they ran out fast. Kudos for the lady and guy manning the tour (totally forgot their name) for giving us a phenomenal experience. We'll definitely come back. Maybe next time we could get a taste of the "heirloom" apples. We end our day doing a quick dip in the hot bath and about an hour stay...
