South Sioux city, Nebraska - I Love It Here! 4 rating By Anonymous ( May 28, 2018) I really love living in South Sioux City, Nebraska and think it's probably one of the top 10 places to live in the entire country! We have a lot of different activities to do here and several opportunities to explore and learn as well!

One of my favorite places to visit here i ...Read More n town is the Lewis and Clark Interpretive Center where you can learn and study real artifacts from these explorers journey right here! It always makes me wonder if I am ever standing in the exact same spot that one or both of them did once upon a time so very long ago!

We have a few different parks with awesome playground equipment for the kiddos to roam and play on and have lots of fun. What I really like is spending a day walking on the trails that really brings you closer to nature. I love being around the quiet and hearing the birds or crickets singing, sometimes a frog joins in too! Read Less
