Outdoor Education Center offers recreation, time to bond with family

LINCOLN, Neb. – Families looking for ways to have fun and spend time together can find what they are looking for at the Nebraska Game and Parks Outdoor Education Center.

Located at 44th and Superior streets in Lincoln, the state-of-the-art archery and firearm range offers a safe and comfortable environment for recreation and family fun. With guidance from the center’s expert instructors, people of all ages – kids, parents, grandparents, aunts and uncles – can enjoy archery with just a bit of instruction.

“Our instructors can get folks who have never even touched a bow hitting targets in 15 minutes,” said Rachel Carlson, an outdoor education specialist at the center.

In addition, shooters can hone their skills on the firearm range, take shooting classes or compete in friendly competitions.

The ranges are open for walk-in visitors six days a week; no reservations required. All equipment is available on-site. For visitors interested in expanding their skills, the Outdoor Education Center also offers a wide range of classes for multiple sports and experience levels.

The Outdoor Education Center is open Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday from noon to 8 p.m., and Saturday and Sunday from noon to 6 p.m. To learn more, visit OutdoorEdCenter.org.
