Family Fun Awaits in Omaha

by Nancy Heim-berg

With an array of attractions that cater to every interest and age group, Omaha stands out as a beacon of fun, learning, and adventure. Let's embark on an extended journey through the city's family-friendly offerings.

The Heartland of America Park is a serene escape in the city's core, offering picturesque views, a stunning fountain, and boat rides that glide across the peaceful waters. It's a place where families can enjoy the beauty of nature while picnicking or simply relaxing under the shade of a tree.

The Omaha Children's Museum is a wonderland for curious minds. With exhibits like the Super Gravitron, a ball machine that teaches physics in the most playful way, and the Tinker Lab, where creativity and engineering collide, this museum is a hub of inspiration for the next generation of innovators.

The Durham Museum, housed in the beautifully restored Union Station, offers a glimpse into the past with its rich displays of history and culture. From the authentic train cars to the interactive exhibits, it's a place where history comes alive, and every family member becomes a time traveler.

The Joslyn Art Museum, with its impressive collection of art ranging from antiquity to the present, offers a feast for the eyes and the soul. The museum's Art Works space is a hands-on gallery where children can explore their artistic side, creating a bridge between art appreciation and artistic creation.

The Omaha Zoo and Aquarium, a world-class facility, invites families to explore the wonders of the animal kingdom. From the Desert Dome, the world's largest indoor desert, to the Lied Jungle, America's largest indoor rainforest, the zoo offers an immersive experience that educates and entertains.

The Strategic Air Command & Aerospace Museum captures the imagination with its impressive display of aircraft and space artifacts. It's a place where history meets the future, and families can learn about the role of aerospace defense in America's past and present.

The Bob Kerrey Pedestrian Bridge, affectionately known as "Bob," provides a unique walking experience as it stretches over the Missouri River. It's a spot where families can take in the views, snap memorable photos, and even stand in two states at once!

The Old Market area is a bustling neighborhood filled with cobblestone streets, unique shops, and restaurants that offer a taste of local flavor. It's a perfect spot for families to explore, dine, and find that perfect souvenir to commemorate their Omaha adventure.

The Gene Leahy Mall, currently undergoing a transformation, is set to become an even more inviting space for families. With plans for a performance pavilion, sculpture garden, and playgrounds, it's poised to be a central hub for outdoor fun and cultural events.

The Kountze Planetarium at the University of Nebraska Omaha provides a stellar experience as families gaze at the stars and learn about the cosmos. It's a place where the mysteries of the universe are within reach, sparking curiosity and wonder.

Omaha's family-friendly attractions are just the beginning. The city's calendar is full of festivals, concerts, and events that bring the community together.
