Is Omaha, Nebraska A Good Place To Live?

1. Visit The Old Market
   Take a stroll through cobblestone streets and get a taste of an older Omaha. The Old Market is right in the heart of downtown Omaha and is full of great food, art exhibits, and musical venues. This is the cultural core of Omaha and is a great place to wow guests from out of town.
2. Catch a show at the Omaha Community Playhouse
   The largest community theater in the entire country, the OCP is a much beloved institution in Omaha. With over 90 years of history, this theater has been performing plays for generations of Omahans, introducing many to the art and allure of the stage. Catch classics like Murder on the Orient Express and A Christmas Carol, all for reasonable prices, and participate in an Omaha tradition like none other.
3. Visit the Henry Doorly Zoo
   Most zoos you visit are pretty predictable places. You’ll follow winding paved paths past yawning primates, sleeping lions, and shy prairie dogs, and call it a day. In the Henry Doorly Zoo, you wander through entire ecosystems. Head to the zoo to see some of Earth’s finest habitats replicated here in Omaha, with some of the most recognizable animals of the African savanna and the jungles of Asia. Come check out their indoor deserts and rainforests, both among the largest in the world!
4. Go watch the NCAA college baseball world series
   Every year from 1947 to the present, Omaha has hosted this great tournament within its city limits. When June rolls around, head over to the TD Ameritrade Park to watch the drama unfold as the best college teams battle it out under the spotlights. If you’re a baseball fan, this is a spectacle you’ll be looking forward to year after year.
5. Listen to the Omaha Symphony Orchestra
   Playing in a performing arts center right downtown, the Omaha Symphony Orchestra puts on spectacular shows of some of the best music ever written. You can expect to hear the greatest pieces of Bach and Beethoven, as well as adaptations of contemporary masterpieces like Pink Floyd’s Dark Side of the Moon, as well as John Williams’ scores for Harry Potter. For any fan of music played with 90+ instruments, then this Symphony should be right up your alley.
6. Eat a steak at Gorat’s Steakhouse
   Loosen up that white tie after catching a performance of Tchaikovsky and head to Gorat’s Steakhouse for a side of beef that will keep you coming back for more. Gorat’s is legendary in Omaha, and has been serving some of the best steaks in the region since 1944. In a town built on the cattle industry, this comes as the highest praise. You won’t regret a dinner at Gorat’s.
7. Attend an Omaha Lancers game
   Hockey is alive and well in Omaha, and we highly recommend you head out to one of their games when the season rolls around. Located out in Ralston, the Omaha Lancers have been tearing up the ice since 1986, and have been a major force in Tier 1 Junior hockey for decades now. If you’re looking for something a bit more fast paced than baseball, and more visceral than basketball, exchange a ball for a puck and get out to a Lancers game.
8. Omaha Children’s Museum
   We realize many of the places on this list don’t seem all that exciting for kids. Fortunately, Omaha has their entertainment in mind, and for almost fifty years the children of Omaha have had a museum all to their own. Full of interactive exhibits focusing on art, science, and technology, kids of all ages can come here to have fun and learn something new while doing it.
9. Catch a show at The Jewell
   Not too many people know about Omaha’s heritage as a jazz and blues capital of the midwest, but the Omahans know. The Jewell is a premier venue in Omaha for all the jazz you could ever want. Catch artists of every style all throughout the year, and get a bite to eat while you listen to timeless music of rhythm and soul that pushes the boundaries of musical possibility.
10. Visit Pacific Preserve Park
    This park can be a well earned break from Omaha’s big grid of streets. Escape among the long tall grass and bright green trees and let the sounds of the city disappear as you walk deeper into the park. This park was actually built to sustain a healthy population of pollinators, so if you see a bumblebee buzzing around, give him some leeway, he’s only doing his job!
