People who come to Nebraska often arrive with expectations as varied and as vast as the weather, and they leave having learned that Nebraska itself is just as unpredictable. The fact that Omaha has the largest number of public golf courses in the United States would be reason enough to visit, but there's so much more. The Henry Doorly Zoo houses the world's biggest indoor rainforest plus an aquarium. The Old Market area offers a walk back in time on cobblestone streets amid historic buildings. Check out Borsheim's, the single largest independent jewelry store in the United States, owned by billionaire Warren Buffet. Head to Lincoln, the state capital named after President Abraham Lincoln.
Soak in the panoramic view of the city from the observation tower of the 400-foot high capitol building. Visit the Governor's Mansion to see the collection of dolls representing the state's first ladies dressed in their inaugural gowns. Take the kids to Folsom Children's Zoo and Botanical Gardens, where they can circle the zoo in a miniature train and see over 300 animals living among spectacular gardens. For some outdoor fun, head to one of the city's beautiful parks, the largest of which is Wilderness Park, for hiking, biking and equestrian trails that will keep you on the move for hours.
