Unique Activities to Enjoy in Omaha

Omaha is an amazing place and if you are considering a move here you may be wondering what we might say to back up that claim. You might be looking for what Omaha has to offer its residents to do when they are not at work or have their kids in school or activities. Read on to discover some of the fun and unique things you can enjoy only in Omaha. 

Enjoy a Steak

Okay so you can do this anywhere, but here me out, Omaha is the place to eat a steak. Make sure you check out Brother Sebastian's Steakhouse. This is the most unique steakhouse experience with a monastery-style atmosphere. The meat is locally raised in Nebraska beef. The best steak in a cozy atmosphere is only found in Omaha. 

World's Largest Indoor Desert

Omaha has one of the most amazing zoos. I do not say this lightly. The zoo in Omaha is a winner of several best-of rankings and is consistently ranked as one of the top zoos in the country. If you are checking out Omaha you need to visit the Henry Doorly Zoo and Aquairum. When you walk through the exhibits you feel like you have been transformed to another part of the planet where the animals are actually found in the wild. The Desert Dome is the world's largest indoor desert spanning 84,000 square feet with two levels. This is also the home of the world's largest indoor rainforest the Lied Jungle. The zoo offers countless opportunities for education and behind-the-scenes experiences as well as seasonal events. Become a member and enjoy the fun year-round. 

Play a Giant Collection of Board Games

Do you enjoy a good game night? We're not talking about spectating sports here, we are talking good old-fashioned board game playing with friends and family. The Spielbound Café has more than 2400 board games. For just five dollars you can pick up a day pass and choose from one of the largest collections of board games available to the public. Or you can purchase a membership and frequently enjoy the game library whenever you want while also picking something up from the café like a cup of coffee or some comfort food.

Pub Crawl on a Bike Around Old Market

Old Market is one of Omaha's most intriguing areas. This portion of Omaha has retained its historic charm with cobblestone-laden streets and much more. Book the Omaha Patio Ride to peddle a large party bike with up to 16 of your friends from pub to pub in the historic old market area. It will be a fun experience you never forget and will give you insight into some of Omaha's most unique and interesting spots.

See the World's Largest Ball of Stamps

When you were a kid you may have gotten bored and decided to create a ball out of objects laying around like rubber bands or even used up chewing gum. Take a visit to Boys Town in Omaha and you'll see the record-breaking world's largest ball of stamps. It's like one of those hobby balls we tried to make as a kid but over 100 times larger. You can't see that anywhere else. And when you are done you can enjoy all there is to do in Boys Town.

Be in Two Places at Once

There is a long overused cliché of not being able to be in two places at once. In Omaha, you can do this. The Bob Kearney pedestrian bridge is one of Omaha's most beloved landmarks. The steel bridge crosses the Missouri River and connects Omaha with the town of Council Bluffs with a pedestrian path. When you are standing at the center point of the bridge you will actually be standing in the state of Nebraska and the state of Iowa at the same time. While you are here enjoy the most amazing views of the Omaha city skyline.

Experience a Live History Demonstration

Check out the living history demonstrations at Fort Calhoun. It is like stepping into the early 1800s and reliving some of the most important moments of history. Reenactors of all ages come together to perform at Living History Weekends this is a fun event for the entire family to spectate history as it is being played out.
