Leave the kids at home, spend all your free time at Roccos and help LSU nation win another jello shot challenge.

Cottonwood Hotel is the shite in Blackstone district. Not convenient for anything Rosenblatt related, but it's awesome. Gets packed during the summer though because they sell day passes.

In addition to what has been posted already by others, I found visiting Boys Town Village, home to approximately 400 Boys and Girls in Omaha interesting. It will give your children an idea of what less fortunate kids are faced with. Thankfully times have changed to where the children there get housed in suburban type homes with trained married coupes providing family style care versus the old dormitory style housing. Boys Town Village has its own fire dept and post office, and other vocational opportunities for the children living there to get work experiences.
Lincoln, Nebraska is only about 55 miles away and home to the University of Nebraska Cornhuskers and the state capitol. During the Bertman CWS years we visited the university and with their stadium gates wide open and with no one around we were able to walk right onto the 50 yard line center field of the stadium. I doubt that security remains that lax in this era. Their state capitol building in Lincoln is a similar skyscraper style building like the La. Capitol Bldg. Biggest surprise was that their legislature is a uncameral one - a single body vs the traditional representative and senate bodies.
Don't miss dinning in some of the good steak restaurants in Omaha!

Buy as many Jell-O shots as you can afford, drink them all, and sleep when the tigahs are not playing. lol

A few more ideas in addition to what has been mentioned:
LINK
Also, Fun Plex - not extravagant but a good time:

Omaha has its own casino now:

As mentioned, don't miss Barrett's Barleycorn. And the fan experience at the stadium is a blast. Mahoney State Park is west of town and a good visit.
Hope to see you all here in a couple of weeks!

I’d want to get up to Landmand Golf Club, close enough for a day trip. And Sand Hills is only 5 hours away….

We drove to Mt Rushmore in between games. Long trip but we’ll worth it!

Day trip to KC. See the Jesse James home and eat some great BBQ.

We ate at the Old Mattress Factory a couple of times. Cool owner and pretty good food.

Omaha Storm Chasers are in town vs Durham Bulls the 17th-22nd. Werner Park is really nice and a great place to take in a game. Don't know if he will still be there in two weeks, but Jac Caglianone is currently on the Chasers roster. Went and saw him play last Tuesday. After hitting 5 HRs in four games, on the road, he went 0-5 with three Ks in his home debut. I was a little disappointed and a little happy at the same time.

Steak dinners reasonably priced.

Damn that’s 16 hr round trip drive.
