Fremont: Art, Culture and Recreation

Fremont offers a variety of ways to enjoy a stay filled with culture, events and recreation. The Fremont Creative District encompasses historic downtown Fremont and offers activities for visitors from the region and tourists. Changing art exhibitions, theater offerings, art classes and seasonal events provide a range of experiences. When choosing a vacation rental, you can consider which of these experiences you’d like to shape your trip and whether you’d prefer to plan a cultural, active or event-focused stay.

Art and Theater in Fremont

The Fremont Area Art Association Gallery hosts changing art exhibitions. If you’re interested in art, you can take the exhibitions into account when planning your trip. Eby Fine Art offers art classes, workshops, painting classes and events, youth camps, and immersive retreats in downtown Fremont.

Theater history is also part of Fremont’s cultural identity. The Fremont Opera House held its opening performance on the evening of December 14, 1888. Its offerings include plays, concerts, summer art camps for middle school students, community theater performances and monthly luncheons. The Empress Theatre opened on March 18, 1915. Together with the art offerings, these provide several different cultural interests to consider when planning your stay.

Events and Special Offerings

John C. Fremont Park is the setting for many annual and seasonal events hosted by the Fremont Creative District. These include John C. Fremont Days and the Summer Concert Series. If an event date is important to your trip, you can use these offerings as a reason to check suitable travel dates. Families interested in creative activities can also find summer art camps for middle school students at the Fremont Opera House and youth camps at Eby Fine Art. The Digg Site offers free film camps in Fremont.

In addition to classes and events, Nebraska Quilt Company offers shopping and a large selection of quilts to view. Its offerings also include quarterly retreats and bus trips. This is another possible focus for a stay that centers on crafts and quilts.

Walking and Water Recreation

Johnson Park has a concrete walking path that is eight-tenths of a mile long. If you’d like to include a walk in your stay, you can take the specific distance into account when planning your day. For water activities, Splash Station in Fremont offers a body slide and a speed slide, a combined swimming and wave pool, Hydro-Storm, an interactive train slide, a splash pad and a water walk. There is also a zero-depth entry. When planning your trip, you can choose between a walk in the park and an attraction with multiple water activities.

May Museum begin at 10:00 a.m.; the last tour begins at 3:30 p.m. Woody's Airboat Tours is located near the destination and offers airboat tours on the Platte River, with opportunities for wildlife photography, scenic experiences and relaxation.
