All this happened right here on the Great Platte River Road in Nebraska. Using life-size figures in elaborate scenic displays the Archway tells an inspiring American story of discovery, innovation, and adventure. The admission price applies to the historic exhibit only. Other amenities on the Archway campus are accessible at no charge. (Note: Last Ticket Sales @4:30pm Mon-Sunday)
