Poop Omaha Visit...

Fish · 06-30-2016, 10:43 PM

Dear Omaha(ish) friends....

Bringing my mom, 11 yr old daughter, and 10 year old niece to Omaha the second weekend of July. Planning on Omaha zoo either Saturday or Sunday. But looking for other cool things to take my daughter/niece/mom to while in the area. Haven't been there since the early 90's.

Appreciate any recommendations... Thanks much....

I've never been but I think they have a good zoo

Really only been a few times and when I was broke in college.

Might hit a minor league baseball game. They're cheap and can be a good time.

The LaVista Cabela's has a nice aquarium and taxidermy museum. Most kids like that.

The Strategic Air Command and Aerospace Museum is a popular attraction, but it's a bit of a haul out there.

The Old Market is a cool place to check out and if you really get bored you can go look at our empty $130M baseball stadium just north of downtown.

Oh yeah, should've mentioned that. They have a nice little stadium that is very kid friendly, but it's out in the boonies southwest of town.

Edit: Scratch that, they're on the road that weekend.

Storm chasers games are usually a good time. Cabelas is not really where I'd go right now. They got into a few legal troubles recently so the store is not exactly stocked.
The aquarium at the zoo is way better anyway.

Check out Omaha.com for shit that's going on that weekend. Hit up the old market downtown. Lots of awesome old buildings/stores/restaurants etc. Women especially love the shops. PM me if you need any pointers. If you do want to go to the game, let me know. I run their security team.
Maybe check out the Orpheum or Holland center to see if you can catch a show. Ron White is doing he Orpheum on the 9th. (I run their squad as well)

Tickets are available.

There's also a water/amusement park in Ralston, it's kinda cheesy but might be ok for kids that age.

Ballgame
Old market
Zoo

Worked there once, over a year ago in the dead of winter when it was covered in snow and froze to death with ice inside my nose.

Nebraska Furniture Mart. It is huge!

Everybody else in this thread offers up some type of advice for the OP, but not BEP. It always has to be about her. Lame as ****.

**Dartgod** · 07-01-2016, 09:07 AM

SAC Museum was my first thought. Definitely worth a trip.

You could also take a road trip to Lincoln and see the birthplace of the legendary Dartgod.

My advice is to experience their snow and cold.

It's a very dry kind. They also have a good Panera, nice rolling hills and be sure to see their American Gothic style houses, if you're into architecture.

Did your paper plate get soggy with paper getting into your dinner last night? Or did your plastic fork break?

Oh shit. Forgot about the museum. I'll vouch for that. Visited when my buddy was at Offet
