The Game and Parks Outdoor Encounter in the Nebraska Building has been an
extremely popular exhibit with fairgoers. In 2016, Game and Parks expanded its
exhibit to include a sky fort,
an elevated tree house-like
structure positioned over a
stream. This sky fort allows
youth and adults alike to
play and explore outdoors.
At the Outdoor Encounter,
visitors can view a diorama
of the Niobrara River, shoot
at indoor archery and pellet
gun ranges, see Nebraska
fish species in a 6,000-gallon
aquarium, or relax in the
landscaped outdoor area as
their children play on the
natural outdoor playground.
