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.

Explore Omaha's surroundings by going to Ashland (Lee G. Simmons Conservation Park and Wildlife Safari, Strategic Air Command & Aerospace Museum, & more), Lincoln (Nebraska History Museum, Saint Mary Catholic Church, & more) and Fairbury (Fairbury City Park & Rock Creek Station State Historical Park). Next up on the itinerary: observe the fascinating underwater world at Henry Doorly Zoo, get a taste of the local shopping with Old Market, explore the world behind art at Joslyn Art Museum, and have fun at TD Ameritrade Park.
