With three interstate exits, Grand Island provides a fast drive from here to almost anywhere. Via I-80, you have access to New York in the east and San Francisco in the west - as well as all points in between.Airport

From there, destinations across the country or around the globe await. Allegiant offers twice-weekly flights to Las Vegas and Phoenix/Mesa.Great Outdoors
Grand Island means city conveniences surrounded by outdoor fun. Take a ride or run on the city’s 30 miles of hike-and-bike trails. Cool off with tubing on the Platte River, or camp at Mormon Island State Recreation Area. Hunting, fishing - and birding - opportunities abound in central Nebraska.Major Cities
Grand Island’s low-stress, small-town atmosphere is only hours away from big-city amenities. When city lights beckon, it’s only two hours to Omaha, four and a half hours to Kansas City or six hours to Denver.
