Henry Doorly Zoo and Aquarium : Explore the Desert Dome, walk through the Lied Jungle, and peer into the shark tunnel. Move between immersive habitats without leaving the city.

Joslyn Art Museum : See collections that range from Indigenous works to contemporary pieces inside a marble‑clad space. Check the new galleries and sculpture on the lawn. Bob Kerrey Pedestrian Bridge : Cross the curving span over the Missouri River and stand with one foot in Nebraska and the other in Iowa. Feel the wind and watch barges slide below.

Question 3

Is Omaha walkable?

Accepted Answer

Partly. The Old Market, Downtown, and the riverfront are easy on foot, but many sights sit far apart, like the Henry Doorly Zoo and Lauritzen Gardens.

Metro’s ORBT line runs along Dodge Street between Downtown and Westroads, handy for Joslyn Art Museum and Midtown Crossing. Buses 11 and 13 reach the Zoo area with a short walk. For comfort across the city or for day trips, a private tour in Omaha with private transportation is a good option.
