Event details

For a few weeks each spring, the Platte River becomes a runway. Audubon’s Rowe Sanctuary offers guided crane experiences that place you in a viewing blind as tens of thousands of sandhill cranes lift off at sunrise or settle at dusk.

Each trip is led by trained guides and designed for families who want context as much as spectacle. Times align with sunrise or sunset, so plan for an early alarm or an unhurried evening and book ahead.
