Visit the world class Omaha Zoo.

A new exhibit, Pachyderm Hill, is now home to white rhino’s. Your ticket will include the Lozier IMAX Theater, the Skyfari, the Railroad, the Tram, and Sue’s Wildlife Carousal.

Then let the fun begin! The child’s admission ticket includes credit points which can be used at everything from Bumper Cars, Amazing Arcade, rides and attractions for kids of all ages. Check into your luxury hotel, the lovely Omaha Marriott. We’ll get you in early to enjoy the indoor-outdoor pool and patio. How about something interesting to those of all ages: veteran beekeeper, Everett Smith, will present “To Bee or Not to Bee,” a presentation on how honey is made complete with the bees and delicious honey samples. Next on the Old Market District complete with a large Farmers’ Market which on Saturday has all kinds of venders. The district has a multitude of arts, shopping and restaurants including Spaghetti Works, a favorite family restaurant, time to explore and have lunch on your own.
