Places to visit in Omaha, Nebraska

These are just three of Omaha, Nebraskas staples.

1. Joslyn Art Museum: This is Omaha’s major art museum located downtown. It is free to the public and features so many different artists beautiful work.

2. Henry Doorly Zoo: Our most famous attraction known all over the world. The Henry Doorly Zoo is the number one zoo in the United States. It has a huge variety of exhibits and animals from many different countries/regions. Almost every year they add on or are doing some kind of renovation to make the zoo even more special!

3. Vala’s Pumpkin Patch: My FAVORITE place to go every fall. Like the zoo, Vala’s has grown and expanded their attractions many times. It is a great place to explore for people of all ages. If you’re ever in Omaha in the fall, I highly recommend visiting Vala’s Pumpkin Patch 🤍
