👍👍 Fantastic! My son has been coming here for 2 years and it's definitely one of the highlights of his week. They also offer birthday party hosting, and he and his friends loved that. They offer a great range of classes at all skill levels including for adults.

👍👍 Hats off! to the artisans that created this themed environment. (The trees and vines as well as floor and pools.) I know for a fact that the temperature was over 100 degrees and humidity was in the upper 90s with little or no air circulation. The cement generates additional heat as it quickly sets.

The Omaha Star Newspaper & Printing Service
Newspaper publisher
👍👍 This newspaper has been around for many many years. The original owner was a wonderful woman. I did a lot of business with her in the 60s and 70s. I will never forget her kindness and the efficient way she ran that paper. This is a great asset to Omaha.

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...

👍👍 This is, without a doubt, one of the nicest zoos I have ever been in. It is clean. Most of the animals live in natural exhibits. The restaurants, although busy at peak times, have good food at reasonable prices. Feeding the stingrays was one of coolest experiences that my family has had together...

👍👍 Really up close gorilla viewing. They interact some with the visitors. The shear size of them is impressive and a little unsettling considering how close you get. Worth the visit if in Omaha.

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...
