Old Market Passageway

This is the area called The Old Market and there are so many clubs, restaurants, shops and really groovy, unique shops too! A must see.

There is an whole area of shopping and tons of places to eat here. Called Aksarben Village

Lauritzen Gardens/Kenefick Park

Beautiful gardens to walk through, so many colors and types of flowers yours eyes will be tired!!

Dundee-Happy Hollow Historic District

Nice midtown eateries. A great Mac n cheese place to eat at, a nationally (on Shark Tank) ice creamery and a very exclusive pizza restaurant that is a trip to eat at.

Omaha's Henry Doorly Zoo and Aquarium

One of the top 3 zoos in the world. We’ll worth a visit.

The Max

Great lgbtq dance bar. Lots of dancing, club music.

Omaha Children's Museum

Great place to take the kids. Adults will like it too.

Lewis and Clark Park

Absolutely beautiful views especially at sunrise (yeah right!! Lol) and really at sunset.

Ameristar Casino Hotel Council Bluffs

One of three casino-hotels in Council Bluffs area 5 minutes at most from downtown Omaha.

Bob Kerrey Pedestrian Bridge.

A great walking, riding(rental bikes available at beginning on Omaha side) expansion bridge that lets you walk or ride across the Missouri River to the Iowa side of bridge and nice walking area over there too.

Hollywood Candy

Most (by far!!) awesome store in the Old Market area. It has a huge old fashioned candy counter with so many choices of candy your teeth hurt just walking in the door! A flea market type of store and a indoor movie theater that shows old Hollywood movies.

Aksarben/Elmwood Park

Two parks actually. Elm wood is in midtown and a great picnic, grill out area. Great walking path with exercise stops. About a mile away (north) right off Dodge street (Omaha’s Main Street remember that and you can get anywhere in town) is Memorial Park. Nice war monument and other attractions.
