Hey fellow Nebraskans (and those who want to come visit our wonderful state)!
I’m excited that I get to present an opportunity for you to enjoy some of the finest we have to offer. I mean, you’ve heard of our Omaha Zoo, right? We’re listed in the Top-10 zoos in the United States. (You like how I said “we” – like I can somehow take credit for our amazing zoo? Maybe because my household is often a zoo, so I assume they used me as a model for how to do it.)
Here is a picture of our boys at the Omaha Zoo four years ago when I was still taller than all of them:
We also visited the Durham Museum several years ago. Very fun and lots to learn! (Take note that there is no charge now to visit the Durham Museum!)
Here’s what Visit Omaha has to offer for free to one of you:
- 4 Tickets to Omaha’s Henry Doorly Zoo & Aquarium
- 4 Tickets to Omaha Children’s Museum
- 4 Tickets to Laurizten Gardens
- 4 Tickets to Durham Museum
- $50 gift certificate to Flagship Restaurant Group – This includes Blue Sushi Sake Grill, Roja Mexican Grill, Blatt Beer & Table & Plank Seafood and Provisions
Nice, huh?! Plus, you can go to the Joslyn Museum and enjoy the following exhibits for free:
- American Moderns, 1910–1960: From O’Keeffe to Rockwell (through May 17, 2015)
- Art Seen: A Juried Exhibition of Artists from Omaha to Lincoln (June 21 through October 11, 2015)
- Go West! Art of the American Frontier from the Buffalo Bill Center of the West (November 15, 2015 through the end of 2015)
So who wants this fun prize package? Leave a comment on this post for a chance to win. I’ll draw one random winner on Tuesday, March 17. Be watching for a post stating your winner as you will be responsible for contacting me if your name is chosen.

We live in Kansas and Omaha is our “go to” spot for a quick getaway. Would love to be able to take our two children for a fun family trip.
What a fun prize package! I would hold onto the tickets until Summer Break. The upcoming Egyptian exhibit at the Durham museum looks wonderful!!! We pick a theme a week to do with our seven children during summer vacation, and in that theme we do cooking/baking projects, science experiments and lots of field trips.
Just wanted to be sure you saw that I was mistaken on Durham Museum being free. It’s the Joslyn Museum that’s free. I blew it and posted the wrong info! Sorry about that. :)
I have always wanted to take our family to the zoo in Omaha. I have heard wonderful things about it! Thanks for the offer! :)

No offense but trying to avoid Nebraska this year. We used to live in MO and had family in Wyoming, so made MANY trips through Nebraska, now we live in MT and still have family in WY, but also a son in KC so we go the other way through Nebraska. It is a great state if you don’t like mountains…….;)
We would love to win this!
I have never been to Nebraska but would love to take my kids west. They’ve never been past St. Louis.
Laura- We would be so blessed to receive this wonderful package. We have 3 young children who would have a blast, not to mention the feel good moments mom and dad would experience!!! Thanks for the opportunity.
Sounds like this could make a fun family vacation! Thanks for the chance to win!
Good times in Omaha!
Would love to win! Where can I find information about the Durham being free? For how long? I can’t find it on FB or their webpage
I blew it on that! I misunderstood, and it’s actually the Joslyn Museum that’s free, not Durham. I’m so sorry I steered people wrong on this! I found out last night and made the correction on my post right away.
My daughter has been begging to go to the Omaha zoo!
We are returning to Nebraska after being away for three years. This would be a great welcome-home gift!
Would love to do this with my family! Thank you !

An Omaha trip would be a nice get away for us Missouri folks!
We love the Omaha zoo and would love to see the other attractions!
Omaha is the halfway point between my parents and I. (CO/IA) This would be a great meetup!
My son loved the Omaha Zoo when we visited last summer. Even though it was raining like crazy, it was one of our most fun days on that road trip!

I’ve heard a few people recommend the Joslyn Museum I think it’s about time my family and I go check it out! We’ve just been so busy with home renovations that we haven’t gotten out much, but now that we’ve finished and sent back the dumpster rental, I’d like to get my family doing things like this! Thank you for sharing!
