Omaha
The fact that Omaha has the largest number of public golf courses in the United States would be reason enough to visit, but there's so much more. The Henry Doorly Zoo houses the world's biggest indoor rainforest plus an aquarium. The Old Market area offers a walk back in time on cobblestone streets amid historic buildings. Back in modern Omaha check out Borsheim's. Owned by billionaire Warren Buffet, it is the single largest independent jewelry store in the United States. History enthusiasts will be wowed by the museums and landmarks, while families will find plenty of attractions to keep the kids busy and happy. With hotels and restaurants to fit all budgets, Omaha is truly a destination everyone will enjoy.
