15 Best Things To Do in Omaha, Nebraska

Omaha is one of those places that you can enjoy without ever getting in a car or a bus. Most attractions in the area are either within walking distance or right next to each other. The old historic district is among the highlights of the city since it has a number of restored buildings, restaurants, galleries, and shops that set an old-school charm that’s hard to not fall in love with.

Near the old town district is the waterfront, where visitors can see the Bob Kerrey Pedestrian Bridge and walk through the parklands or sit in the shady areas for a nice picnic.

Other popular attractions include the Aquarium, Henry Doorly Zoo, Children’s Museums, and the Spirit of Nebraska’s Wilderness.
