Only In Omaha
Omaha Nebraska is my hometown. There are many great things to do and see in Omaha.
I'm still working on the list. Here is just a start...

Places To See

The Durham Museum (www.DurhamMuseum.org)

Beautiful architecture blends with memories of a time gone by at The Durham Museum. Making its home in one of Omaha's most unique treasures, Union Station, The Durham Museum offers a fascinating look at the history of the region and offers a broad-range of traveling exhibits covering subjects ranging from history and culture, to science, industry and more (also formerly known as the Western Heritage Museum).

A "Must-See" during the Christmas Season!

Henry Doorly Zoo (www.OmahaZoo.com)

Omaha is very proud of the fact that it has one of the finest Zoo's in the Nation. The Henry Doorly Zoo is a must-see when you come to Omaha!

Old Market (www.OmahaOldMarket.com)

Come visit downtown Omaha's Old Market area. Great shops, great restaurants, great atmosphere and lots to do.

Omaha Community Playhouse (www.OmahaPlayHouse.com)

Since 1924, the Omaha Community Playhouse has presented an exceptional range of well-loved musicals and plays as well as unique educational programs for children and adults alike. Celebrated artists and devoted craftsmen work side by side with emerging theatrical talents from our community to produce year-round high-caliber entertainment. This unique partnership between the Playhouse and the greater Omaha community has molded the talents of Hollywood legends Henry Fonda and Dorothy McGuire

The annual presentation of Charle's Dickenson's Classic, the Christmas Carol, is nationally recognized and attendance of this event has become a holiday tradition for those of use who live in Omaha.

Strategic Air & Space Museum (www.sasmuseum.com)

Just outside Omaha in Ashland Nebraska you can see a great collection of aircraft, exhibits, and traveling shows.

Qwest Center (www.qwestcenter.com)

Omaha's Qwest Center is a convention center and arena featuring top acts and many great events.


Great Food in Omaha (Omaha Originals)

Bronco's (www.BroncoBurgers.com)

Bronco's, An Omaha Original, is a local fast-food chain featuring the Bronco Burger and my favorite the Hickory Burger. Their fries are fresh-cut daily, the best you will find anywhere. They also have awesome fried chicken.

Bohemian Cafe (www.BohemianCafe.net)

Serving mouth watering authentic European dishes since 1924, the Bohemian Café is a cornerstone in the South Omaha community. The dining experience at the Café is second to none. From the friendly wait staff dressed in traditional Czech outfits and original home cooked meals, to the colorful old world décor that hugs every nook and cranny, the Café’s pleasant atmosphere imprints a lasting impression on all who enter.

Godfather's Pizza (www.godfathers.com)

Originated in Omaha.

La Casa's Pizzaria (www.LacasaPizzaria.net)

Fine italian dining since 1953. Great thin crust pizza.

Little King's (www.littleking.us)

Started in Omaha. Freshest and the best Sub Sadnwhiches you will ever taste!.

(www.PepperJaxGrill.com)

The best Philly Steak Sandwich in Omaha! Great steak, perfectly cut, perfectly seasoned, perfectly cooked, every time. Match that with the freshest vegetables, cheeses and condiments. Load it up any way you want; in a wrap, on a roll, over fresh greens or in a bowl. You order directly from the grill cook where it is cooked and assembled right in front of you. Started in Omaha with several locations. Now they are expanding into Kansas.

Piccolo Pete's Restaurant (www.PiccoloPetesRestaurant.net)

A South Omaha Tradition Since 1933. One of my favorite places for Prime Rib.

Spagetti Works (www.spagworks.com)

One of my family's favorite places to go for Spagetti. 12 different sauces with all you can eat. More than just Omaha because they have a handful of locations in the local area, but not a national chain (yet).

Zio's Pizzeria (www.ZiosPizzeria.com)

Omaha's original Hand Stretched New York Style Pizza. Serving Omaha and the surrounding area for 20 years and now with 3 locations Midtown, Downtown & West Omaha. Zio's Pizzeria offers an Authentic New York Style menu with a wide variety of tantalizing selections.
