60 days in Omaha Itinerary

A major transportation hub, Omaha was once considered little more than a stopping point on a pioneer's journey west.

Bring the kids along to Henry Doorly Zoo and The Durham Museum. Appreciate the collections at Joslyn Art Museum and Omaha Children's Museum. Explore the numerous day-trip ideas around Omaha: Beatrice (Gage County Historical Society and Museum & Homestead National Historical Park), Missouri Valley (Desoto National Wildlife Refuge & Wilson Island State Park) and Spring Creek Prairie Audubon Center (in Denton).

The adventure continues: get a taste of the local shopping with Old Market, identify plant and animal life at Lake Icaria State Park, take in nature's colorful creations at Lauritzen Gardens Omaha's Botanical Center, and explore the activities along Chalco Hills Recreation Area.
