3 PurPOse The purpose of creating an Outdoor Venture Park is to meet and anticipate park visitors' expectations of the Nebraska Game and Parks. It is important to Nebraska Game and Parks to create positive, exciting and relaxing opportunities for visitors to the parks that leave a lasting impression which will keep them coming back. Families and visitors to the parks are looking for more than just a walk in the park. They want the rush of adrenaline and a sense of exhilaration of the adventures they could have at the parks. They want to have an inspirational environmental educational experience that engages all of their senses. They want downtime to relax amongst the river bluffs and explore the tranquility of Nebraska's natural resources. And they want to create lifelong memories in the process. The Outdoor Venture Parks of the Platte Valley will provide just that. Additionally, this concept provides unique opportunities to families, creates vocal advocates for the parks, and establishes the next generation of outdoor enthusiasts. Generation after generation, the Nebraska Game and Parks relies on these advocates to support our State Parks and to conserve our outdoor heritage. This innovative concept is designed to encourage people to venture outdoors and discover the wonders of our natural world! Nebraska's Venture Parks will attract and engage future generations of park-goers because the parks will be interactive destinations where people can explore, learn and play. Venture parks' interactive activities will provide hands-on, exciting opportunities to discover and experience the outdoors in ways that appeal to many types of park-goers, including adventure seekers and those who want to relax, have fun and enjoy time with friends and family. Nebraska's park system is an economic force and is a major component of the tourism industry. Venture parks will be economically self-sufficient and be one economic unit within the park system. The complex will increase visitation and travel in the state, create more jobs and have a tremendous economic impact to the local and state economies. Venture parks will be premier destinations, unlike anyplace else in Nebraska. Families will rediscover and grow their love for the outdoors. With so many unique experiences to offer in each venture park, visitors will return time and again. V i s i o n o f a n o u t d o o r V e n t u r e P a r k C o m P l e x
