Destination Heartland: Omaha, Nebraska

It is known as the Gateway to West and it’s home to the College World Series, but many call Omaha, Nebraska one of the Midwest’s best kept secrets.

Today, it is where Midwestern warmth meets unexpected adventure of the Old Market, taste farm-fresh flavors at local cafes, and watch the Missouri River shimmer beneath the Bob Kerrey Pedestrian Bridge. Dive into the world-class wonders of the Henry Doorly Zoo, explore history at the Durham Museum, and admire art at the Joslyn.

From College World Series excitement to cozy neighborhood breweries, Omaha surprises at every turn. Come for the skyline — stay for the heart.
