State of the art park in the heart of Downtown Omaha! Only a 15 minute walk from the Church! You won't be disappointed. But be warned, it's big. The picture at the top is this park. Fun fact, the skyscraper they are building next to the park by the food trucks will be John's new office!
Jun Kaneko is a world-renowned Japanese ceramicist living right here in Omaha. KANEKO is a free art museum showcasing his work and touring artist exhibits. 6 minute drive from the Church, 22 minute walk. Kaneko is one of Rochelle's favorite living artists.
This FREE art museum was rated as USA Today’s Best Art Museum in 2025! It just re-opened after a major renovation. 7 minute walk from the Church but does close at 4:00 pm on Saturday. Has free on-site parking.
The following are suggestions of things to do in Omaha and surrounding areas during the remainder of your trip! Just not during the downtime after the Ceremony :)
Rated #1 Best Zoo in the Nation and holds the Desert Dome, the world’s largest indoor desert. The zoo is 160 acres- it’s huge! John and Rochelle’s favorite exhibits are Kingdoms of the Night (inside the Desert Dome), Lied Jungle, and feeding the koi fish over the lagoon.
This Restaurant is not open during the down time on Saturday, but you should go regardless!
