Welcome to Omaha Nebraska! Come follow the moon with Doug, Cathy and Maggie Mae as we explore beautiful Omaha NE. We'll check out General Cook's House at the site of Fort Omaha, and the birthplace of Malcolm X. How about a castle? The Joslyn Castle and Gardens is a must see, then to the old downtown - the Old Market - including the Orpheum Theater and lunch at the Spaghetti Works. We'll walk the Bob Kerry Pedestrian Bridge over the Missouri River, check out the locomotives at Kenefick Park, and stop by the Gerald R Ford Birthsite and Gardens - plus a whole lot more. Come along!

    You missed one of the best attractions Omaha has to offer. We have the Henry Dorley zoo, which is the #1 zoo in the nation! We are very proud of our zoo! 😊

    This is a great video. Also appreciate the other around Cunningham lake. Thank you
  • @nnonotnow
    Very nice video. You show some of the important yet kind of out of the way places and I appreciate that. Like some of the comments. Say there are some other fantastic sites and things to do in the city. Thanks
  • You missed our Zoo, Omaha also hosts the College World Series, this is the home of Warren Buffet and last but not least Nebraska Mart one of the world's largest furniture stores established by Rose Blumpkin.

    Havana Garage is where people go for a drink and cigar. 😉The VM is V. Mertz which is an amazing restaurant. Mutual of Omaha is in process of bldg new 44-story HQ downtown. Thanks for visiting!
  • Great video! I hate to jump on the zoo bandwagon, but me and the kids go there weekly.
  • Very well done episode. A little more info about some of your points of interest from a local. Bob Kerry was awarded the Congressional Medal of Honor for his actions as a Navy SEAL during the Vietnam War. He lost part of a leg during the battle. Technically, Gerald Ford was not born in Omaha, Leslie King, Junior was. His parents divorced when he was a few months old. His mother moved back to Grand Rapids, Michigan and eventually married Gerard Ford. Mr. Ford adopted the baby and his name was changed to Gerald R. Ford. Come back and see us again!
  • You have to come back for the zoo and Western Heritage Museum. You can get all the history you want in one visit to this museum that is inside the original train station.

    You need to tour the Joslyn Castle, you missed so much of the true history of the house. Mrs Joslyn would go up on the widow walk because she could see the River and River boats and ships from up there. My son was a ground keeper there through high school. Definitely go back to the botanical garden, take the tram tour, it's totally worth it.
  • You forgot to visit our wonderful diverse neighborhoods....from North to South....Great foods...and museums....next time yall are in town...come over for a pool party and TACOS...dogs are welcome..😊

    I have lived in Omaha since the 80s and I hate it here so much. There is not much to do, especially after a few years. There is no really good or safe outdoor walking trails and museums are sorely lacking.
