Top 10 Must-Dos

Historic Falls City, Nebraska is sometimes overlooked as an ideal tourism destination. The rich history mixes perfectly with new and updated activities and things to do. With these ten must-dos, you’ll see what all makes this town worthwhile.

John Philip Falter Museum

Visit the John Philip Falter Museum, opened in 2015, and get an initial understanding of a Falls City native who became a world-renowned illustrator.  They are also a stop on the 2021 Nebraska Passport!

Stanton Lake & Arboretum

Located on West 25th Street, Stanton Lake is a serene park with a lake, in a beautiful setting that offers fishing, picnic areas, sandlot volleyball courts, playgrounds, trailer hookups, showers, and a dog park. 

A new addition is the 18 hole Disc Golf Course added by the Tanner Shelby Merz Foundation in 2016.  Stop by and play a round of this all-ages sport!

The Candlelight Cabin at Stanton Lake is a recently renovated event room and screened porch that offers a scenic view of the park and lake and is available for rental each day, year round.

The Itha-Krumme Memorial Arboretum next to Stanton Lake is the only site within the Nebraska Statewide Arboretum system showcasing plants native to Nebraska and surrounding states. Take the walking path through the wonders of nature!
