56 days in Omaha Itinerary

A major transportation hub, Omaha was once considered little more than a stopping point on a pioneer's journey west.

Venture out of the city with trips to Fairbury (Fairbury City Park & Rock Creek Station State Historical Park), Lincoln (Nebraska History Museum, Saint Mary Catholic Church, &more) and Ashland (Lee G. Simmons Conservation Park and Wildlife Safari, Strategic Air Command & Aerospace Museum, &more). There's lots more to do: take in nature's colorful creations at Lauritzen Gardens Omaha's Botanical Center, observe the fascinating underwater world at Henry Doorly Zoo, admire the masterpieces at Joslyn Art Museum, and walk around Heartland of America Park.
