Top Restaurants:
We want everyone together while we have time but if you need a certain food fix, these are some top suggestions.

Wheatfields – serious home-cooked breakfast and lunch one mile from Marriott hotel. Open 7A – 2P. Popular bakery with everything you should eat when you’re on vacation but not at home. Maybe grab some goodies for your room. They don’t deliver but you can arrange for pick up. (One Pacific Place location) https://www.wheatfieldscatering.com

Spezia – awesome everything, reasonable $$ https://speziarestaurant.com
Mahogany Prime – $$$$ high end steakhouse about 4 miles west of home base
https://mahoganyprimesteakhouse.com/locations/mahogany-omaha/
Flemings – $$$$ high end steakhouse walkable to/from Marriott Hotel https://www.flemingssteakhouse.com
Brother Sebastians – $$ corny monk-themed place with awesome prime rib and awesome salad bar. May be a popular option for this group and we’ll want to plan way ahead. Saturday night is a likely option.

Options for Activities

Prehistoric Putt https://letsgoputt.com/prehistoricomaha
SATURDAY MORNING – Miniature golf is a great way for large groups to spend time together in random teams while competing and connecting. It’s social, it’s active, it’s easy, and its memorable and you won’t likely get a black eye. This place has 2 courses inside (adult and kids) and food and an arcade and it’s less than 3 miles from hotel / home base.

Westroads Mall https://www.westroadsmall.com/en/
If your kids need to blow off some steam….Less than 1 mile from hotel, this is the place if your kids need to get away or your shoes are not right for some reason.

Top Golf (not likely) https://topgolf.com/us/omaha/
We don’t have time for Top Golf as a group but nearby if you want to break away for an hour. A ton of fun if you like to spend LOTS of money and try to hit a golf ball with nacho cheese sauce on your hands. Less than a mile from the Marriott Hotel.

Half Day or Full Day excursion ideas within a 30-minute drive.

Mahoney State Park https://outdoornebraska.gov/location/eugene-t-mahoney/
Horse rides, miniature golf, pool, water slides, ropes course. Full day if you think 30 minutes each way and then being there early to beat the crowds. Horse Rides are SO worth it if you haven’t been for a while. 45-minute ride through wooded trails. You can’t take drinks with you but you can sure swear a lot.

Wildlife Safari Park www.wildlifesafaripark.com
Four-mile drive-through adventure as you come face to face with North American plants and animals such as elk, deer bison, waterfowl. /Best when they open at 9:00 – animals are not spooked by cars yet and just fewer people and cars. Nothing like it anywhere I know about. Likely a simple one-hour road trip including drive time.

Omaha Zoo https://www.omahazoo.com
World Class Zoo that ranks in the top 5 zoos along with world famous San Diego Zoo. World class exhibits to see Jungle Animals, Massive Aquarium, Gorillas, big cats, Sea Lions and more over a 160 acre campus. Avoid on weekend days but must see if you have time on Thursday or Monday.

Here’s a collection of photos to help set the stage.
In no particular order and more to come.
