Lauritzen Gardens and Botanical Center
Of course, everyone knows about the Henry Doorly Zoo — it’s at the top of everyone’s Omaha attractions lists. However, there are so many more places to explore around Omaha. You can have an amazing afternoon out at the Lauritzen Gardens botanical center. Take a ride on the tram tour to see the entire grounds, or explore on foot. There’s a children’s garden which is great if you’ve got little ones with you. The beautiful blooms and variety of plantlife at Lauritzen Gardens makes for a relaxing outing.
Joslyn Art Museum
Art museums are always a highlight, and Joslyn is no exception. From its permanent collection to the traveling exhibits, Joslyn has something for every art lover (or even every art kind of appreciator). The beautiful building and friendly staff make this a relaxing, comfortable destination for education and introspection. Works by Rembrandt and El Greco are musts for all audiences.
Heartland of America Park
Whether you’re in town for a few days, or you’re a permanent resident of Omaha, the HOA Park is a staple. This winding park runs right through the heart of Omaha and along the Missouri River. This is a relaxing place to go for a casual stroll, or to get a run in during the morning. It can be a destination, but the HOA Park is so pleasant, it’s bound to become part of your routine.
Bob Kerrey Pedestrian Bridge
Another outdoor highlight for anyone in Omaha is the Bob Kerrey Pedestrian Bridge. This architectural eyecandy works great as a scenic backdrop, but it’s even better as a walking trail. Crossing the Missouri River, this winding path gives you fantastic views, and a great way to stay active outdoors.
