Grand Island
About 53,000 people.
Grand Island is a busy city in the middle of Nebraska known for farming, fairs, and friendly neighbors. Every spring, huge flocks of sandhill cranes visit nearby.
Step back in time at the Stuhr Museum's old prairie town, ride the rides at the Nebraska State Fair, and watch thousands of cranes dance along the Platte River.

Every spring, about half a million sandhill cranes stop along the Platte River near Grand Island. Watching them fly and dance at sunset is one of nature's greatest shows.
