Stroll Through the Omaha Farmers Markets 🥕

Explore the Henry Doorly Zoo & Aquarium 🐧

Renowned as one of the world’s best zoos, the Henry Doorly Zoo & Aquarium is a must for families and animal lovers. Wander through the lush Lied Jungle, marvel at sea creatures in the aquarium, and don’t forget the Skyfari for a bird’s-eye view of the park. It’s the perfect place to entertain kids—or unleash your own inner child!

Catch a Concert at Stinson Park 🎶

There’s something magical about live music under the open sky. Aksarben Village’s Stinson Park hosts free summer concerts, where local bands serve up everything from rock to jazz. Bring a blanket, pack a picnic, and dance the night away with friends and neighbors.

Cool Off at Local Pools and Splash Pads 💦

On those sizzling Nebraska afternoons, Omaha’s pools and splash pads are the place to be. Check out Zorinsky Aquatic Center or Benson Park Splash Pad for family fun and relief from the heat. It’s a great way to meet other families and make new friends in your neighborhood.

Discover Hidden Gems in Local Parks 🌳
