 A world-class zoo and IMAX too |
3701 South 10th Street Omaha, NE 68107 United States +1 402 733 8401 http://www.omahazoo.com/ |
Readers of Disney-owned Family Fun Magazine recently named this the "#1 Family Friendly Vacation Spot in the U.S." After visiting, you will understand why. Where else can you stroll through the world's largest man-made jungle; view sharks and other deep sea inhabitants through a glass-enclosed, walk-through tunnel; take a Lozier IMAX Theatre adventure to the top of Mt. Everest; and view hundreds of birds flying freely in a mesh aviary the size of four football fields; all in one afternoon? Review © 2007, Wcities |

Where the buffalo roam |
16406 292nd Street Omaha, NE 68003 United States +1 402 944 9453 http://www.omahazoo.com |
Make sure the car windows sparkle before embarking on this drive-through adventure. A road leads visitors through several different lands featuring Sandhill Cranes, antelope, deer and a large buffalo herd. Although on display, most of the animals freely roam this corner of the county. A special section called Wolf Woods does require a short walk. While out of the car, be sure to check out the interactive nature exhibits and gift shop. All facilities are accessible to the physically challenged. Review © 2007, Wcities |

 Movies come to life |
3701 South 10th Street (Henry Doorly Zoo) Omaha, NE 68107 United States +1 402 330 4629 |
"Larger than life" takes on a whole new meaning when you are sitting in this theater. The huge screen measures 60 feet tall by 80 feet wide. Combined with 12,000 watts of surround sound, the IMAX seems to put spectators in the middle of the action. Shows vary, so call the box office for titles and times. The theater is located at Omaha's Henry Doorly Zoo. Parking can be difficult during the peak summer season. Admission is $6.50 for adults and $4.50 for children. Review © 2007, Wcities |

 Course offers picturesque view |
16600 Quarry Oaks Drive Omaha, NE 68003 United States +1 402 944 6000 http://www.quarryoaks.com/ |
Of the area's most challenging golf courses, this one offers the best view. Designer John LaFoy took advantage of the natural peaks, dips and lush setting of Nebraska's Platte River Valley. The championship course is diverse, featuring a half-island green on the 17th hole. You do not have to be the best of the best to play here. All skill levels are welcome. Players will appreciate the state-of-the-art practice range. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Omaha United States |
If Omaha has a melting pot of ethnicity and culture, this is it. The city's Polish, Italian, Hispanic and Czech populations have thrived here for generations. The neighborhood was considered its own city until the early 1900s. Many South Omaha residents settled here because of its proximity to the meatpacking plants, the area's main source of business. Most of these plants are long gone, having been replaced by bustling shopping centers and business parks. Some of the city's most popular attractions are located in South Omaha, including Henry Doorly Zoo, Rosenblatt Stadium, Sokol Auditorium and Hitchcock Ice Rink. If Mexican food is what you're looking for, be sure to try the enchiladas at El Alamo. Bellevue, Nebraska's third largest city, is located just south of South Omaha. Originally a riverside fur trading post, Bellevue now boasts a thriving residential community and business district. Review © 2007, Wcities |
