I love Nebraska.
I was born there. I went to college there.
I’m a die-hard Nebraska Cornhusker Football fan.
And I love to take my kids there.
It’s an easy drive from Kansas City and there is so much to do there – including the AMAZING Omaha Henry Doorly Zoo.
The good people with the Omaha Visitors Bureau (or Omaha Adventure – I’m sure you’ve seen the TV ads) realized this and have given me (5) Omaha Adventure Coupon Books to give away to five lucky readers. (Cause they think you might enjoy Omaha too.)
Each book contains over $50 in coupons (and each coupon is good up to SIX people – so for the whole family) and includes:

- Lauritzen Gardens – $1 off Admission/Tram Combo
- Joslyn Art Museum – $1 off Admission

And if you feel lucky – you can enter a sweepstakes on Omaha Adventure for an Omaha Getaway.

I, too, LOVE Nebraska ~ born and raised there, die hard Husker fan! I had no clue you were from Nebraska, too.
Moving on ~ My favorite thing to do is the zoo, that seems like a given. But, I also love the Old Market area and Upstream! That’s so funny that you would choose Upstream ~ it was there that I first had a salad with crasins on it, and their food (and beers) is amazing!

I miss Omaha! The parks are wonderful with lots of playgrounds that are up to date and beautiful. My favorite things (other than the zoo, and I LOVE THE ZOO!…) are the Fontenelle Forest in Bellvue and Lauritzen Gardens. I can’t wait to go back this summer to visit friends and all our favorite places.

We LOVE going to Omaha! We’ve gone to the HD Zoo, for years! Kansas City’s Zoo does not even compare! If you’ve never been to the Omaha zoo, you must check it out! Get there early, as you can spend the entire day walking around, because there is SO much to see!
The Old Market is a great place to check out as well! There are several bakeries, a lot of fun restaurants, and horse drawn buggy rides!
Cfosh says
It has been a long time, would love to see now!!

I love taking my kids on little adventures and the Omaha Zoo was one of those a few years ago.

We went to Omaha with our two oldest kids 4 years ago and loved it! I was born in Nebraska and there are so many hidden and beautiful wonders about Nebraska. We have wanted to return with all our children (ages 8, 7, 3 and 1) and we know that they would absolutely love the zoo, all of them!!!
