A Weekend in Omaha, Nebraska
Welcome to Omaha!
How to Get There
If you are flying into Omaha, you will arrive at Eppley Airfield just north of downtown. It is a smaller, regional airport making it easier to navigate. It takes about 12-15 minutes to drive into downtown Omaha depending on where you are staying. If you’re driving, there is tons of easy parking around the city and it’s relatively safe to explore by car in Omaha.
Where to Stay
There are a wide array of options for places to stay in Omaha. Depending on what you plan to do, we recommend staying closer to downtown if you don't have a rental car. The city is very walkable and bus transportation is available as well.Â
Things to Do - Day 1Â
Looking for a cup of coffee not from Starbucks, this local coffee shop has a mixture of drink offerings and small pastries. Stop by before starting your adventure around Omaha.
The famous and well known Zoo and Aquarium are a must see destination while in Omaha. They offer special events and is great for families.Â
Grab dinner at Jams Old Market in downtown Omaha. Featuring American grill food, there is something for everyone here.Â
Finish your day by relaxing at the Green Room. Located close by a bus stop or within walking distance of most hotels downtown, this hip cocktail bar is worth checking out. They do not serve any food, but you can order food in from other local restaurants.Â
Things to Do - Day 2
Enjoy a relaxing morning wandering around the Old Market section of downtown Omaha to explore local stores, enjoy great eats and check out some of the special oddities located in town.Â
For a great lunch spot, check out the Untamed Kitchen. Well known for their vegan bowl options, this place has a variety of choices to pick from and is on the healthier side too.
Explore The Old Market Area - Downtown Omaha
About 3 blocks of fun located on the Southside of downtown Omaha. Full of restaurants, local stores, coffee shops and much more! Check out our favorite stops in town listed below. Lots of easy parking in this area for those with a car.
Sit back and relax at the Gene Leahy Park space located along the RiverFront. Recently redone to include a top notch playground, large grass space to throw a ball around, lots of seating options and a hammock section.
For a night out, check out Laka Lono Rum Club for a tiki bar vibe or Moe & Curly's Pub for karaoke! Both are great places for a group of friends for a night out on the town.
Special Events - Live Entertainment, Concerts, Sports Games and More!
