North Platte, NE – July, 2023 – Yesterday the Golden Spike Tower announced it has been recognized by Tripadvisor as a 2023 Travelers’ Choice award winner for “Things To Do.” The coveted award celebrates businesses that have consistently received great traveler reviews on Tripadvisor over the last 12 months, placing these winners among the top 10% of all listings on Tripadvisor globally.
Since 2015, the Golden Spike Tower has earned a top honor with Trip Advisor; including Certificate of Excellence and Traveler’s Choice. “Just on the tails of celebrating our 15th anniversary in June and in preparation for North Platte Rail Days coming up first weekend in August, it is the perfect time to celebrate as a 2023 Traveler’s Choice Award winner. Nine years in a row, we are blessed and appreciative of all the support near and far. Our guests, volunteers and staff truly are top notch; making the Golden Spike Tower such a fun place to visit and watch the workings of Union Pacific. This is another great way to celebrate,” says Kirsten Parker, Executive Director.
“Congratulations to the 2023 Tripadvisor Travelers’ Choice winners,” said John Boris, Chief Growth Officer at Tripadvisor. “The travel resurgence we’ve seen throughout the past year has even further heightened the competition. Earning a Travelers’ Choice Award demonstrates that you have provided great experiences to those who matter most: your guests. With changing expectations, continued labor shortages, and rising costs, this is no easy feat, and I am continually impressed with the hospitality industry’s resilience and ability to adapt. Cheers to another successful year!”
