7 days in Omaha Itinerary

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

Change things up with these side-trips from Omaha: Lincoln (Nebraska State Capitol, Sunken Gardens, &more) and Ashland (Lee G. Simmons Conservation Park and Wildlife Safari & Strategic Air Command & Aerospace Museum). The adventure continues: get up close and personal with brilliant marine life at Henry Doorly Zoo, explore the engaging exhibits at Omaha Children's Museum, visit Old Market, and get engrossed in the history at The Durham Museum.
