A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away… Actually, it wasn’t so long ago – December of 2015, to be exact – and it was right here in our home state. A movie theater unlike any other opened just outside of Omaha and has since become a popular destination for movie lovers. The Alamo Drafthouse Cinema is the only Star Wars-themed movie theater in Nebraska (and in the United States), and it’s as awesome as it sounds.

What are the most unique places to visit in Nebraska?
It doesn’t get much more unique than the Star Wars-themed Alamo Drafthouse Cinema in La Vista, the perfect spot to visit all year around and particularly on May the 4th. The Star Wars-themed movie theater in Nebraska is a must visit for any diehard Star Wars fan. You’ll also find an abundance of other unique places to visit in Nebraska, including Carhenge in Alliance. It’s exactly what it sounds like – just like Stonehenge in England but created with cars. While you’re in Alliance, stop by Dobby’s Frontier Town. If you’re a fan of Kool-Aid – and who isn’t? – you definitely want to stop by the Hastings Museum, where you’ll find a massive display on Nebraska’s favorite drink.
Are there any drive-in movie theaters in Nebraska?
Nothing quite compares to the good ‘ole days of the drive-in movie theater. We’re quite fortunate in Nebraska to have several, where we can relive yesteryear. If you’ve never been to the oldest drive-in theater in Nebraska, The TK/Starlite Drive-In, definitely make plans to go this year. Tucked in Neligh, the popular spot opened way back in 1952 and looks much the same as it did back then. Arrive early if you want to snag a parking spot up close, and bring a hearty appetite. Once you see the concession stand, well, you’ll definitely go back more than once. Sink your teeth into a juicy burger or a hot dog then follow up with such goodies as chips and candy.
What are the best drive-in restaurants in Nebraska?
Drive-in restaurants in Nebraska are just as fun as drive-in theaters, and boy do they dish up some delicious food. Nebraskans have been flocking to Tastee Treet in Norfolk since 1949 and for good reason. The friendly, charming drive-in makes some of the best food around. While you can just stop by for a tasty ice cream treat, you’ll probably want to grab dinner first. Tastee Treet is perhaps best known for its loose meat sandwich, which pairs perfectly with a side of golden fries. When it comes to ice cream, you have quite a few treats from which to choose, including soft-serve ice cream, slushes, and ice cream floats.
