The West Maple Rock: World famous.
Tourist attraction
👍👍 As a geologist and former Omahan, the West Maple Rock is an absolute must-see attraction! This shoulder-boulder is sure to evoke heart-felt sediments, but don’t “ramp up” your enthusiasm too much. You might end up between a rock and a hard place. Don’t take it for granite; it’s not gneiss. Visit the...

Lied Jungle
Zoo
👍👍 The Jungle Biome was stunning. It feels so spacious inside even with the incredible amount of foliage surrounding you!. There are birds and bats that are just open air fliers. So many species of animals inside there. It definitely has a jungle feel! There is an upper "canopy" level and a lower ju...

Great Plains Black History Museum

👍👍 This was an amazing place. The tour guide was very animated and very knowledgeable about the artifacts. He answered questions and was passionate about the information he was giving out. My students thanked me for taking them there and actually spoke about the mistreatment of not only Black people. T...

Miller's Landing
Park
👍👍 What a great park! Close to Midtown/Downtown and apparently not very well known as it’s always empty. There are a few Hobos, so if you’re hiking along the river keep an eye out for tarps & tents. Great for dogs.

Regency Park
City park
👍 While there isn't a lot of stuff here, this is one of the nicer parks I've been to in this area. It's in a very affluent neighborhood. There are only a few things for kids to do, but it has enough for a small family or two. The park itself is very well groomed and well taken care of. I didn't note a...

The Florence Depot Museum
Rail museum
👍👍 The Florence Depot is a wonderful resource for learning about the history of North Omaha. Built in 1880, it saw the rise of Florence and its annexing into Omaha, and a move to its current role in 1969. Filled with cool artifacts from the old days, its a unique tool for the whole city.

Standing Bear Lake-Dam Site 16
Tourist attraction
👍👍 We've been going running, walking, hiking, playing with our dogs, picnicking, had multiple birthday parties and family gatherings for over 20 years. It also happens to be an oasis at times for relaxation. I would recommend to anyone looking to get away from it all, there are many hiking areas surrou...

😐 Small playground, small covered picnic space, no restroom, some nice green spaces. Overall, it is somewhat rundown. It is a nice place to walk your dog, but portions of the trail are not maintained or closed.
