Omaha - Family

Known as the “Gateway to the West,” Omaha is both the largest city in Nebraska and the beating heart of the Midwest. Things to do in Omaha range from exploring the city’s dozen historic districts to visiting attractions like the Henry Doorly Zoo and Aquarium, the Joslyn Art Museum and the Omaha Community Playhouse, the latter of which boasts a reputation for being the largest community theater in the nation. Omaha events include the College World Series held every June, the Nebraska Balloon and Wine Festival, the Omaha Jazz Festival, and the Maha Festival.
