2026 Nebraska Passport Stops Selected
LINCOLN, Neb. – Visit Nebraska is thrilled to announce the stops included in the 2026 Nebraska Passport program. The Passport helps Nebraskans and out-of-state visitors to travel and discover the state’s hidden gems while supporting tourism destinations and local businesses.
"The Nebraska Passport is our signature in-state marketing program, and it’s one of the most fun things we do all year,” said Jenn Gjerde, executive director of Visit Nebraska. “It’s designed specifically to encourage Nebraskans to explore their own backyard, to take a day trip, try somewhere new and support the small businesses and communities that make this state special. Last year alone, travelers logged more than 147,000 digital stamps. That’s real foot traffic in local shops, restaurants and attractions across Nebraska. I can’t wait to see where Passporters go in 2026."
Once again, the 2026 Passport features 70 stops divided into 10 themed tours. Travelers will have from May 1 to September 30 to visit the attractions and collect their stamps. Passporters earn prizes based on the number of stamps they collect.
The program also continues to build community through the Nebraska Passport Pals Facebook group, where nearly 6,000 members share trip tips, photos and encouragement as they explore the state together.
This year’s themed tours include a tribute to historical stops in honor of America’s 250th, adventurous outdoor stops to get the whole family moving, businesses located in Nebraska’s picturesque downtowns and, of course, plenty of unique spots for food and drink.
New and veteran Passporters alike should mark their calendars for the 2026 Passport Kickoff Party:

Passport booklets will be available at participating stops starting May 1 or can be pre-ordered at NebraskaPassport.com. Participants are encouraged to download the Nebraska Passport App on their smartphone for the option of digital stamps, supplementing the physical Passport booklet for convenience. Please note, the Passport app will be updated with the 2026 information on May 1. Those who used the mobile app in previous years will need to update the app to see the new program information.
