Welcome About Omaha
Take Your Pic

There are a lot of fun photo ops throughout the cityOmaha is Instagram heaven!
On the Bob Kerrey Pedestrian Bridge you can stand in two states at the same timeone foot in Nebraska and one foot in Iowa. Unique public art throughout Downtown Omaha is just begging you to feed it. This is one of 13 unique park benches in the Gene Leahy Pedestrian Mall.
Stand next to a real Fork in the Road @ 1115 S 7th St in Omahas Little Italy neighborhood. If youre wondering what the heck grain silos look like, these are some of the coolest around. The best way to see these giant works of art is to drive east on I-80 toward Downtown Omaha. Touching Chef Boyardees Toque (chef hat) is said to bring good luck in the kitchen. This 6 tall statue sits in front of ConAgra Foods World headquarters at 10th and Farnam.
Get into the act with the ornate and beautiful bronze street performers who juggle, mime and stilt-walk in front of CenturyLink Center Omaha. See how big you are compared to one of the largest public murals in the country. Fertile Ground can be seen from almost anywhere in the North Downtown area.
Take part in a stampede through the city with a larger-than-life wagon train that startles a herd of buffalo and scares a ock of geese that y into the high-rise First National Bank Tower. Youll nd it at 15th and Capitol Avenue and can follow it as it travels 7 city blocks.

Nature Calls
For birders, walkers, and bikers, the Bob Kerrey Pedestrian Bridge connects nearly 150 miles of nature trails and provides picturesque views of the Missouri River Valley.

And Omahas 5 lakesCunningham, Zorinsky, Standing Bear, Lawrence Youngman, and Bennington Lakeoffer shing, boating, and recreational activities all year long Located along the wooded Missouri River valley and along a main migratory path, it only makes sense that the Omaha area is a birding hotspot. Spring and fall are peak seasons but because the area offers diverse bird habitatlakes, prairies, woodlands, and riverbanksyou will nd a wide variety of bird species most any time of year. Look for the yellow-billed cuckoo in the summer, the dickcissel in May, the tufted titmouse in November, and pelicans have been known to stop over around Easter.
Sports & Recreation
Tubing and Tanking

Forget the boattry tubing and tanking down the scenic Elkhorn River. Which should you choose? It depends on how wet you want to get. With tanking, you oat down the river in an 8-footdiameter stock tank tted with custom made picnic tables. With tubing, you are a little more intimate with the water, sitting in commercial-grade innertubes with your feet and other body parts dangling in the river. Both offer a fun way to oat and enjoy the outdoors.

t the e n d of the 19th century, Omaha was in its prime as a great railroad center, connecting the settled East with the wide-open West. The Old Market area was at the height of its splendorbustling with produce dealers, buyers and transporters. The bustle continued until the 1950s when Omahas westward expansion and radical changes in grocery marketing abruptly brought the activity to a halt. Thats when Sam Mercer, threatened with building condemnation notices, proposed to rescue his familys red brick warehouses by renovating them for new uses. Most people thought him imprudent. Today, they call him a visionary. Mercers role has been a delicate balance of making things happen and allowing things to evolve. Nonetheless, he is the rst to admit that there never was a master plan for developing the Old Market. We knew these warehouses had possibilities, and to tear them down to construct contemporary buildings would have been like painting over the Mona Lisa. Change happens all the time, but it has to be the right kind of change. Preservation and maintenance of the architectural integrity of the buildings remains a guiding principle. The Old MaRket Whether youre a rst-time tourist, a downtown worker or an Omaha resident, there is always something to see and do in the Old Market.

It is located in the oldest part of town so a lot of the original avor of the old buildings has been preserved, making it a pleasure to see as well as walk around. BaRs & PUbs The Old Market has great bars and pubs that offer many different types of atmosphereseverything from sports bars to bars with entertainment. There are over 20 different locations within the Old Market that offer something for everyone. ShoppINg Looking for the unique with a touch of whimsical on the side? Extra cash from ATMs?

Unusual stores abound in the Old Market . . . a store where its Christmas all year long, a beautiful fur and leather store, jewelry stores, candy stores, owers, furniture, clothing, and imports.
