- rlstj81Creighton, NE103 contributionsWOW! What a beautiful museum, a really fantastic museum for the entire family. They do have some workers in the main entrance, they are painting and touching up, but does not effect the lower gallery.
We took our kiddos to the MARVEL exhibit at the lower level, and it was really awesome. There is another area dedicated to the building of Omaha, the men and women who started it all, along with a full size train and carriages from Union Pacific.
If you are from Omaha, and have never been here it's worth your time to visit. If you are a traveler just passing through, please take the time to visit this wonderful museum.
The lady at the front desk was very helpful, and was able to answer many of our questions.Written February 12, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- MrAndMrsC_2005Benton, AR65 contributionsEnjoyed visiting the botanical gardens during our stay in Omaha. Opted to go at night during the holidays to catch the lights and everything was beautiful. It was a little smaller than I expected, but I thought everything was well done. Staff was friendly and helpful.Written December 21, 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- GregskyOttawa, Canada913 contributionsWalked across the bridge one night while visiting Omaha. Very cool when it's all lit up and you stand on the border between Nebraska and Iowa. If you do the walk in the late fall/winter, make sure you're bundled up.Written November 25, 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Jana MDes Moines, IA16 contributionsThe day we picked was very busy, but we saw several staff members circling to keep up with all of the chaos. There were so many things to do that we didn't get through it all before our 4 and 6 year olds said they were wiped out, but everyone loved it. They had a few things for the little kids in different areas, which was nice. The bathrooms were constantly being cleaned. I recommend not taking a stroller or parking it if you can. Spent almost 4 hours there.Written February 19, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Paul D13 contributionsSchwab Field has some very solid ballpark menu items. With all the availability of numerous food stands, never a long wait even with a sold out Men's College World Series crowd.Written July 21, 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- RichardDenver, CO15 contributionsVery Good Sculptural Tour of Pioneering through the West. The Bronze figures were well done; the multiple blocks of information and sculptures were great.Written September 18, 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- redngold4lifeBellevue, NE109 contributionsGene Leahy Mall recently had a multi-year renovation project completed. It is very kid friendly for playing, while parents, an Aunt, Uncle or someone else they know, monitors the children playing. Take your little ones, when weather is good, letting them burn off some energy. You will not regret this.

We didn’t go in, but I think the beauty of it is on the outside anyways.Written August 19, 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- John Raymond6 contributionsBeautiful Cathedral. I want to thank all the Catholics who labored in Omaha, including CMRI who are such an inspiration to me.
I absolutely love Catholic Churches and esp CathedralsWritten September 26, 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

State of the art arena and facility: a great venue in a small city. Plenty of parking, downtown location, not far from hotels, restaurants. The center itself is commodious, modern, neat as can be.
Arena seats are actually comfortable, important to me since I have a bad back.
Concessions and restrooms are close-by: the latter are very clean. I can't speak to the food, but the popcorn was good. The staff is friendly and helpful, taking the initiative and asking if they can be of assistance.
I'd been there a couple times before for a show, but this was the first time for a sports event.
The only thing I didn't like was all the techno-pop music between every serve. Ear-shatteringly loud & unnecessary. Let the school bands play. Isn't that why they are there?
But overall a great experience for any college volleyball fan!Written December 16, 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

There are limited signs at the parking lot of the Gardens that it is attached to. Photography angles are not the greatest and access to cab is blocked right now. That said, it is a joy to see these two powerful motive power units in one place with a nice summary of each provided. UP ran a 4-8-8-4 a couple of years ago around the midwest and that was a hoot.Written October 29, 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- YargLivesAugusta, GA156 contributionsNice walk along the riverfront. Pretty views and fairly easy walk. Only issue we had was there is a fair amount of construction going on around the area. We parked at the old market and walked. I wouldn’t advise this if it’s dark or going to be dark soon. The area we had to pass through was a tad sketchy.Written August 5, 2020This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
