Sightseeing
The most amazing zoo in the country! There is a splash pad and a playground that you could spend the entire day at, so plan accordingly! We always have our kids wear their swimsuits with easy to remove clothes over top. There are lots of interactive water exhibits.

I am gluten-free and this is the ONLY place in Omaha (that I know of) that I can eat pasta!! For the rest of you, the food is great too. They have a salad bar and tons of classic Italian dishes. But the best part is that the pasta is unlimited.

Food isn't "amazing," but for barely any more money than just eating at a restaurant, you can entertain the kids for a couple hours of fun.
