Local interests
Hi!
My husband and I are coming to the council bluffs/omaha area and I was wondering if anyone had any places or things that to do that would be interesting/unique to the area (not zoos or other typical tourist things).
- restaurants/shops
- I thought about a helicopter tour
- I know in some cities there are companies that give 'foodie tours' - not sure if that is popular in Omaha.
Thanks so much!!
Re: Local interests
I figured locals would have a better list of ideas than tripadvisor and the such. Hopefully the weather will be nice and we can check out the old market area - that sounds fun and interesting.
Thanks. I've been to zoos all over the world and have no interest in going to one on a spouse-only trip. I'm sure it would be great with the kiddo.
Not much to see? LOL Oh well.
You would just see the results of our massive flood from last summer. Which you usually see while landing and taking off, so save your $$.
When are you going to be here?
Or rather, TONS to see... if you're into car lots and prosti's riding bikes.
There are a lot of wineries around here. They aren't anything swanky, but fun and would let you see some of rural NE or Iowa. In the summer a lot of them have bands/music.

What time of year are you coming? That would help us know what to recommend, whether outdoors or inside, that sort of thing.
The Old Market area would definitely be one to hit - you would find a lot of good restaurants to choose from, also.
Pop into places like the Nebraska Artists Co-op: http://incolor.inetnebr.com/pww/acg/
Hot Shops Art Center is in the northern downtown area, and there are various artists who rent space there and you can see their work (including glass blowing): http://www.hotshopsartcenter.com/. The Joslyn Art Museum would be a fun place, too - just west of Downtown at 24th & Dodge.
The Dundee area (50th & Underwood, just north of Dodge Street) is also a nice place to walk around (it's not large as far as restaurants/shops, though) and they have great restaurants as well.
Also check out the Omaha Chamber website for more ideas - http://www.omahachamber.org/.
