Wabash Trace Nature Trail
Great biking and walking trail near The Pond (~15 minute drive)
The Old Market
This is one of Michelle's favorite places in Omaha! Historic district of Omaha with cobblestone streets taking you to endless unique bars, restaurants, and shops. If you look deep enough, there are gorgeous passageways off the main streets to even more establishments. Some restaurant recommendations include: Plank Provisions, Blue Sushi, M's Pub, Jam's, Twisted Fork, and Upstream Brewery
Omaha's Henry Doorly Zoo and Aquarium
Omaha's zoo is consistently ranked #1 in the country and is only ~45 minutes from The Pond. Here are some cool attractions within the zoo: - Dessert Dome - the world’s largest indoor desert - Lied Jungle - one of the largest indoor rainforests - Suzanne and Walter Scott Aquarium - home to a 70-foot shark tunnel - Alaskan Adventure - splash park area themed around Alaska's wildlife, offering a fun way to cool off during warmer months
