It’s once again time to discover Nebraska’s hidden gems. The 2024 Nebraska Passport kicks off Wednesday, May 1 and inspires Nebraskans and tourists to travel throughout the state collecting stamps to earn prizes while also supporting Nebraska’s tourism destinations. Visitors will enjoy fantastic food and drinks, take in beautiful scenery, uncover treasures along Nebraska’s oldest routes and so much more along the way.
This year marks the 15th anniversary of the Nebraska Passport.
The 2024 Passport runs from May 1 through September 30 and features 70 attractions organized into 10 categories, including: Bring Your Wallet, Drive, Stop, Drive, Stop, Drop Some Dough, Fine Vines, Great Stops, Non-Stop, The Old & The Beautiful, Parks A’Plenty, Rare & Remarkable, Rise & Shine, and Various Vittles. A full list of this year’s stops and prizes can be found at nebraskapassport.com.
In addition to the 70 traditional stops, the Passport includes a 15-stop bonus tour this year. To honor the 15 years of the program, this tour will take visitors to a collection of fan-favorite spots around the state, all voted on by past Passport champions.
